my first workaway stay And it was a great experience. The scope of work was limited, as a lot of it had already been done in the summer. Igal told me what I had to do and he took care of what was missing. It wasn't too difficult work either.

Igal took care of me and, when time and weather permitted, showed me the surrounding area, his favorite… read more

Igal and Orit are inspiring and creative people who are creating a dream life with the force of their imaginations and then generously sharing it with others.

They are kind and experienced hosts. We were provided with cozy, independent space and they made sure we had everything we needed...and more. It was wonderful to share conversation over… read more

Igal is a warm, energetic person with a great sense of humor. During my almost two-week stay, he took care of my needs, took me to nice places and had very interesting conversations with me. His home for artists is an amazing place that I will never forget. And I will never forget Igal, which made me feel at home in a new country.

I stayed here for a week at short notice and really enjoyed it. The work was clearly defined, had a small house to myself and got to meet and spend time with Igal and his son and some of their friends. Liked the area too. Enjoyed.

Igal took us in very spontaneously, we had some easy work to do and the artists house is quite nice (much more progressed than shown on the photos). Although our stay was quite short we had some inspiring conversations. We felt very free about the work and around the house.

Igal is a very special person, we had a warm welcome and came along very well. His sarcasm and humor came along well with ours. We had a nice appartement with kitchen and warm water in his house. For work we went to his building project: the robinson house.

Igal, he's a convergent person. From a very interesting culture, when it comes to analysing its professional and personal path... Very creative and determining when building new things or giving life to things we think they don't have. He's interested in the well-being of others all the time :)

Thank you so much for everything!!

Igal is one of life’s characters to say the very least! What a fascinating person and amazing company. Myself and my friend, Cat, had the pleasure of being Igal’s first volunteers and we couldn’t be more grateful that he was willing to have us in such strange times.

Travel restrictions were just starting to be lifted when we were looking for… read more potential projects, but hosts weren’t exactly keen given the circumstances around Covid 19. Igal had only just arrived back in Portugal himself after making a crazy longwinded journey from Tel Aviv in order to escape the confines of lockdown in a stuffy city.

Back in his countryside haven in Vila Nova de Cerveira, Igal was keen to crack on with tidying up his budding art residency. This place is the dictionary definition of quirky! Full of random ornaments and art pieces both old and new and organic and manmade, there’s something really special about it.

Our main tasks were to clear the back yard of old tiles and debris from years of neglect, and to tackle the issue of the gaping hole in one of the bedroom walls! This was to become a tall window overlooking the lovely countryside, but it was a mammoth task bigger than any of us anticipated.

We got all the materials we needed and, using the sand and cement Igal still had from his own house renovation down the road, and what amateur means/primitive tools we had, myself and Cat managed to install four concrete lintels into the old decrepit walls of the room. It was thoroughly satisfying work and a fantastic project to get stuck into.

We had originally agreed to stay a week as he wasn’t sure we would even attempt the window job but, once that was underway, we obviously were committed to finishing it and we ended up extending for a couple of extra days. Until we started on the window, the yard clearing work was done at our own pace from 9am ‘til 2pm and, with us being his first ever volunteers, Igal was completely open to whatever suited us and left us to our devices. He provided whatever food we wanted and we had the evenings and place to ourselves.

We had the pleasure of having a couple of evenings and lunches at his own fantastic house he’d previously renovated, and the funniest and most memorable conversations. We’ll definitely be back to visit and to fully enjoy the area Igal was so keen to show us if it only it wasn’t for the limitations imposed by the virus.

I can’t thank him enough or recommend working/staying with him and seeing this beautiful region. Oh and the first day he bought us lunch and brought us to the beach which is only 20mins away!
