Description
We are a german couple, live on a small farm in Algarve/Portugal situated near Faro with cats, dogs and chicken. Here we run a small plant nursery. We always need help with the plants (weeding, repotting etc) and the house and the plot (painting, cleaning, cutting bushes and trees).
We can offer a nice accommodation (room or caravan, depends on the time of year) and certainly food and bikes to explore the region or visit the next beach (8 km away). We are situated 2 km away from the next village and somebody who likes nature and animals and also private time during the day will like our farm and a stay. Normally we ask for help between breakfast and lunch, so afternoons are free time and it would be very good, if you have ideas how to spent it. You could walk or bike or read or sleep....

Sabine and Didi were great, the work is what it's shown on the profile. I stayed 2 weeks and I had plenty free time, we cooked together, shared beers and have awesome times. The place is in the middle of nowhere, this is a good place if you like to be alone and enjoy nature. Hope going back one day :)

Didi and Sabine, so cute together, we had great conversations while eating. Sabine is very good cooker, she made some traditional german foods and i loved it. The dogs are amazing, my favorite one was Helen, she is so energetic). The room had a nice view. My best part there was the nights, totally silence and just nature. Recommended!

My hosts gave me very fair working hours in thier little piece of Paradise and thank you for the use of the bicycle which gave me so much sweat and freedom in the afternoons.
