Description
We are a Swiss couple, Agnes and Beatrice, soon to be 60 years old, and are living on this beautiful island, São Miguel, since 13 years.
Our property is located in Ajuda da Bretanha, a little village, in the north-west of the island with direct sea view.
We rent 2 bungalows and 1 apartment on our 6'500m2 property.
Everything grows here, especially the weeds.
So we would be grateful for help, mainly weeding to prepare the garden for vegetable sowing.
In addition, we would like to plant more fruit trees and help would be great for that as well.
We provide a bungalow for our helpers. They have to cook and keep the cottage clean themselves.
We envisage working hours of 4 hours / 5 days a week.
We are open for a dinner together every now and then.
It is important to us that our helpers love animals and accept that our 2 dogs are also with us at work.
Are you interested? Then please contact us and we will be happy to discuss further details over Skype.

Andrea and Laszlo - the best decision we could have ever made.
They stayed with us from 10 January to 15 February.
First they cut back all the hydrangeas. Then Laszlo pruned the trees (his speciality) and I weeded with Andrea for sowing.
Andrea is very knowledgeable about plants and flowers, which was an enrichment for me.

Tami & Philippe - thank you for all the perfect work you've done. It's incredible what you've done during these two weeks.
Unfortunately you have to go home again - we would have liked to have had you with us for a while longer.
May be for another time - you will be always welcome.

Agnes and Beatrice were my first hosts- such a luck for me. They are very welcoming and open-hearted. The work in the garden was a lot of fun- weeding and plant vegetables- even for a beginner in gardening like me- with breaks for heaving a good coffee. A new experience for me, in this two weeks I learned some basics for gardening. In my free-time… read more

Agnes and Beatrice were our first hosts ever - well, the future ones are in a tough situation... These ladies are extremely welcoming, nice and generous. We stayed 1 month here, and had a wonderful time. Our work consisted mostly of gardening, which was supposed to be easy - but we always felt a nice muscle pain after our office-life :) Hopefully… read more

Agnes and Beatrice are great hosts – I definitely recommend volunteering for them! They were welcoming and generous, and I loved having conversations around the wood stove with them in the evenings. You’ll learn a lot about Swiss culture if you stay here, and maybe put on a few pounds because the dinners are fantastic!

Liesa was for us the best work-awayer/in (staying for about three weeks here) - for the reason: there the comprehension was better than with all others. In the beginning she was a bit shy, but with day after day she understood our way of dry humor - and she has the same...

Simon spent six weeks with us. His main tasks were gardening works as weeding, digging etc. Further he often had to take care to our dogs.
We learned to know him as a willing, interested and good worker. He's polite, always on time and keen to do something. Not to forget his good cooking...
To all hosts we can really recommend Simon.

This is for sure one of the best places who can imagine: Ispent six weeks at this place. Agnes and Breatice are very kind, provide excellent food and accomodation. The work is definitively not too hard and you have a lot chances to explore the island with them or on your own.
A big "Thank you" for this six weeks.

Agata spent three weeks in our house. From the first day on she was a big help for us. She finished her works, even when we said, that's finishing time. Painting she did really exactly and without letting any color stain on the floor. Also she was very nice with our guests and friends - and also with us - everybody loved her.

Despite the not-always-nice weather had seen almost the whole island thanks to you taking us by car almost everywhere. Travel by bus is a bit difficult from the house but one can always walk!

Nelly stood for 18 days in our house and from the beginning she was a great help! She saw, what's to do and made it perfect. Kitchen-cleaning, clean dishes after dinner, cleaning the house, gardening, conversation with our guests - what ever - she made it by her own, without that we had to ask her to do.
