Descrição

We wish to live with nature and animals. Getting back to the basics of life :-)

Yves has an immense knowledge in constructing, since he did that in his former life in Germany. He knows on a professional level how to work with wood, tiles, drywall construction, electrical installation, plumbing, roofwork and so much more...

Ilka loves to make delicious meals and cakes with fruits and vegetables from our own garden. She is a passionate cook.
Since she started organic gardening here, she can tell you quite a bit about the cicle of a whole gardenyear with all its necessities, about upgrading the soil and good or bad plant neighbors.
In her heart she is an artist and loves to do all different types of artwork with various materials and in diverse sizes, if she finds the time for it and peace and quiet.

Ajuda
Right now we need help with gardening and all sorts of outsidework like making firewood, collecting rocks from our fields, preparing the meadows and grassland for the sheep, working with a Motorsense to clean the land, take care for the animals and lots of other things.
We love people who can cook well and like to share recipes :)
The next main building projects are gonna be: to make a nice craftsplace for Ilka in our container.
So if you are interested in working with us we would be more than happy to share our knowledge with you :-)

Dear Jakob,
thank you for giving us your time and energy for four weeks. You were a big help with all the different tasks you were doing. A mostly quiet person, but when you say something it's funny and open minded. It was a pleasure to host you, have nice conversations, meals, laughs or fun time at the big campfire.
We wish you all the best for… read more

Hello beautiful people! Our experience in Ilka and Yves' land was more than perfect.

Sarinda stayed with us for some time in August and she has been a big help in the garden: harvesting tomatoes, strawberries and raspberries, cleaning withered plants and flowers. Even moving some soil in bare sunshine was no problem for her!

Ingrid stayed with us for 10 days. We got to know her as a person who works very fast with any task she was asked to do. She likes to work independent and needs some freedom with that ;)
We had good talks and some nice times together.
All the best to you, Ingrid, and thank you for your time and hands.

Mirjam stayed a bit more than 3 weeks with us. She is a good help in the house and garden. All cleaning help was done perfectly. She did a very good job weeding in the garden as well. Worked by herself once it was explained what to do.
We did miss getting in real touch with her though, because she was in a difficult phase with herself at that… read more

Ilka and Yves are beautiful people. I found them to be extremely accommodating, generous and friendly - making them perfect hosts. From the onset of my stay I felt at ease, and a sense of connection, which is a testament to them and what they've been able to create on their slice of Alentejo. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

Thank you for being such great hosts! I think the poem Lena and I wrote in your worker's book says it all! It was a pleasure to work at your place and help you with building up a wonderful piece of land. It always felt like we've found a second family and I'm sure we'll meet again one day.
Tausend Dank! :)
