  Acomodação

  As for food, we supply those that are served for the family, it consists of basic breakfast consisting of an egg OR cereal and yogurt OR bread and jam, also usually tea OR coffee. Everyday you can see what is available and help yourself, also we provide you free Mate to share in the mornings:).
  
  We usually rotate the lunch duty among us and the volunteers. For dinner, we usually eat very light, mostly a soup from the veggies available in the garden but sometimes we rotate as well, which works great for teaching eachother new dishes. As for drinking water, we have to buy it for the household and we supply it for an average drinking person, but if you are a heavy water drinker, we may ask you to buy your own depending on your needs or just serve yourself with the tap water.
  
  We try to share as much as possible during meal times, as it is a wonderful moment to share with the family.
  
  Normally you could have a room of your own apart from the main house, surrounded by trees and birds, however right now that room is occupied so you would stay in the main house, maybe sharing or alone. We offer comfortable accommodation on the whole top floor of the house (loft) with a very comfortable double bed, shared bathroom and hot shower, water well house supplied water, limited internet access (it is not allowed to be used during helping hours and we have rural internet so you can use it only during certain hours of the day agreed upon your arrival).
