  Description

  We are a family of four, nestled near the picturesque towns of São Martinho do Porto and Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Our little slice of paradise spans an acre of land, brimming with potential for projects and sustainable living endeavors.
  
  With two energetic children aged 4 and 8, our homestead is always buzzing with excitement and laughter. We invite you to become part of our family for a while and share in the joy of country living.
  
  Our cozy independent apartment awaits you, complete with a double bedroom, private kitchen / lounge, bathroom, and access to our refreshing pool area. Whether you're a solo traveler seeking tranquility or a couple yearning for a rural retreat, our space provides the perfect sanctuary after a day of hands-on work.
  
  We have plenty of exciting projects waiting for eager hands! From dividing our land into functional zones to creating winding pathways through lush greenery, there's something for everyone to dive into. Expect to get your hands dirty as you assist with tasks ranging from painting fences to tending to our beloved dogs, chickens, and ducks.
  
  We're seeking volunteers who are adventurous, open-minded, and ready to embrace the full spectrum of country life. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a curious novice, we welcome individuals who aren't afraid to try their hand at anything.
