  Descrição

  Olá and hello!
  We, Johannes and Claudia, warmly welcome you here, a unique place in the green north of Portugal. Here, we are building a sustainable Quinta focused on self-sufficiency, permaculture, and living with nature since 2023.
  
  There are three other people living here as well, whom you get to know during your stay. They support us alongside their own individual business.
  
  What We Do (and Why)
  We’re simply doing what makes sense to us – a way of living that feels more connected, honest, and meaningful than the city lives we left behind.
  
  Our Place
  Our quinta is a peaceful 2.3-hectare property with sweeping views over a beautiful valley.
  It includes:
  - a large, charming mansion under renovation – the future space for workshops and retreats
  - a second building gives space for living
  - the official outdoor kitchen is currently being renovated and still needs some time
  - a vegetable garden, mandala beds, and over 130 fruit and nut trees
  - a food forest
  - a flat parking area for vans and caravans
  - a camping site
  - washing machines and dryer
  - plenty of nature, silence, and starlit nights
  
  For accommodation, you can camp or, if you are traveling in a van or similar vehicle, you can park here and stay in it. We can provide tents and bedding.
  
  Who's a good fit for us
  Whether you're skilled in crafts, enjoy gardening, have experience with gardening – or simply want to learn new things - you are very welcome!
  
  You'll be a particularly good fit for us if you:
  enjoy working outdoors and hands-on
  are self-reliant, mindful, and flexible
  
  Languages:
  We speak German as our mother tongue and English.
  We learn portuguese.
  
  Type of exchange:
  Half board = sleeping and parking no meals, just lunch.
  (We provide ingredients for breakfast, dinner, and snacks)
  → max. 3 hours a day for 5 days a week

  We're happy to share the knowledge and experience – whether it's about gardening or building up a company.
  
  You’ll have the chance to enjoy fresh, home-cooked vegetarian or vegan meals with us at lunchtime.
  
  There are lovely cafés just around the corner, and of course: you shouldn’t miss a Pastel de Nata, the famous Portuguese pastry – or a glass of delicious Douro wine while overlooking the stunning landscape.
  
  There’s also the opportunity to connect with our neighbors and like-minded nearby projects. Some of them offer things like:
  Open workshops and gatherings

  Algo mais...

  There is a bus stop nearby that takes you to the next larger town (Marco de Canaveses). From Marco de Canaveses there is a good train connection directly to the center of the bustling city of Porto. Here you can see all kinds of sights such as museums, churches, traditional fishing boats and markets. The beach on the Atlantic is also not far.
  In the neighbourhood we have cute little beaches on both the Douro and the Tamega river and several beautiful waterfalls. There are also many hidden hiking trails in the beautiful green mountain landscape. There are small cafes everywhere where you can enjoy a coffee and the typical Portuguese Pastel de Nata. Nearby is the famous wine-growing region of the Douro Valley, which produces world-famous red wine and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
