Please read well description
One month minimum stay
At Faial da Terra, on the hill, I maintain & develop a 3000m2 garden rich of a large variety of plants from all climates. Perennials, fruit trees, aromatics and some perennials vegetables. There is a wooden caban equipped with basic for cooking (no electricity ) and few flat places to put a tent (during summer)! There is a dry toilet, no shower (indian style shower).
IMPORTANT
- Faial da Terra is a remote village, 9km from Povoação. Buses from Monday to Friday only. 2hours drive by bus from Ponta Delgada. Really quiet place, if you are looking for community and volunteer team that's not the place!
- You are autonomous most part of the week while I'm working at Ponta Delgada.
Also Faial da Terra is not a surf spot however we enjoy snorkeling and swimming on summer.
