Descrição
Hello! We’re Olivia and Helena and we live in the southwest of Portugal, in Vila Nova de Milfontes.
Olivia is French and works in the foiling industry (the surfboards that fly above the water). She’s passionate about the ocean and nature in general.
Helena is Catalan (Spanish). She runs a vintage clothing brand that she sells at markets and festivals. She loves music and plays the piano as well as other instruments.
We’re deeply passionate about nature and travel. We’ve chosen a simple lifestyle and our home is just a few hundred meters from the dunes.
We have three dogs: Layka, Leo and Patate.
Layka is a female Belgian Malinois.
Leo is a male Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.
Patate is a male Rafeiro Alentejano, the local breed from the Alentejo region.
We also keep ducks and chickens and since recently 3 wild cats (mum and her 2 babies) joined the tribe :)

Meus animais / animais de estimação
CHICKENS & DUCKS (5 anos)
The chickens and ducks are living their best lives in the backyard. They will need your care once the day to get food and fresh water

Patate (potato in French) is 46kg of love! He's a rescue dog and became such love. Always in your legs he wants lots of attention
LEO (10 anos)
Leo is a tcheq wolf dog, human lover, pretty independent (wolf mindset), but he still loves cuddles. The biggest passion of Leo remains the food, you will have to be pretty aware to not leave your snack behind otherwise he will grab it and eat it in a second !
LAYKA (10 anos)
Layka is a Belgian shepherd - Malinois - she is super active, loves to play, run, do training exercises. She is also surer cute with people.
