Give and Receive… a permaculture oasis between Olhao and Tavira, in Algarve, Southern Portugal

  Description

  The quinta is a place for gathering, healing, growth, celebration and regeneration. Starting with the land, we are implementing ecological design to enrich the soil and create a healthy ecosystem that gives back with a variety of edible local and tropical fruits, veggies, and medicinal plants.
  
  We have a complex of 8 independent houses that are self-contained, with well-equipped kitchens and private terraces. All houses are surrounded by trees, shrubs and abundant vegetation and share the various gardens, food forest, saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen and dining areas. When there are no gatherings, the houses are rented out to visitors.
  
  Our family of 4 is multilingual and multicultural. English is the main language, but French, Dutch and some Portuguese are also commonly spoken. We are social entrepreneurs who have lived and worked in all continents. Our focus has been working with small-scale farmers and NGOs in the global south, ethically sourcing ingredients and making organic/biodynamic/regenerative products available to as many people as possible.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a few minutes from the ocean, but in a rural area of the Algarve. The Portuguese villages, neighbors, businesses and local workers offer multiple opportunities to connect with the locals and learn the language.
  
  Visitors staying over with us come from all over the world, so you will be able to share travel and life stories and learn from people from all four corners of the world.

  Aide

  Ecological design takes passion and time! You will learn and implement permaculture methods, care for the trees and for the land. Maintenance projects around the property also pop up regularly.
  
  Most importantly, and even though this is already a mature project, our place is a work in progress. Experience with building and carpentry is a big plus, since we are adding some light elements to the property, such as decks, outdoor showers, bridges and shade structures…
  
  With our setup, hosting a couple is ideal....

  Need some action? Kiting, surfing and stand-up paddling are less than 20 minutes away..
  
  We are 10 minutes from Olhao and the beautiful beaches and iconic islands of the Ria Formosa National Park. We are also less than 30 minutes from Spain and 20 minutes from the towns of Tavira, Faro and Loulé.
