Hello workawayers- We are two families, completing the restoration of a 1912 Portuguese mansion whilst developing a sustainable lifestyle through organic farming methods and more...
We moved here in October 2020 and since then have been learning about the land, olive trees and how to farm in a hot climate. We have a kitchen garden producing organic food with organic methods. We are learning about permaculture, biodiversity through clearing invasive species, encouraging native trees, no-till farming, tropical plants etc
We are now finishing off the decorating and interior wood-work and maintaining the Quinta but we need experienced help.
So we are looking for a few people who have experience already, can get on with others and has a good work-ethic
Individuals & couples welcome.

Enjoy holidaying in a gorgeous historic Portugese Olive Quinta, surrounded by 3 Hectors of native plants & trees, private gardens with a fantastic pool for freshening up and relaxation.
Make use of the excellent BBQ, al fresco dining and sheltered seating loungers.
The Quinta is on a hill outside the village - giving panoramic views of the distant misty mountains, hill-top villages and tree covered hills.
If yoga & meditation is your thing we have an equipped sunny yoga specific studio with views of the pool and beyond - perfect in winter months to keep you calm
If you like to hike or bike, there are numerous tracks which lead from the property to the River beach and other directions.
The owners are two families with young children who work both office and outdoor tasks. The children attend a local school, are very friendly and used to new people.
Evenings and weekends we enjoy quality social time over poolside BBQ meals, walks around the countryside to the River and Portuguese wine. We have a range of nationalities living here permanent & semi-permanently, including Welsh, Irish, American, Bulgarian, English and sometimes Portugese aswell, so you'll never get bored!
We need experienced DIYers', carpenters and decorators firstly. But if you also have considerable skills in gardening, land management, tree pruning fire wood processing - these are all regular tasks which need more hands.
If you would like to learn a new skill that we can offer please do ask!
If you are experienced in house-keeping and/or cooking - that could be another role!
We need people with a great attitude to practical help, with motivation to learn new skills, give results and get on socially with others.
