Descrição
Hello, hello,
My name is Mieke and I am the happy and proud owner of a very beautifull, small and cozy campsite in Central Portugal. Because of my bussy life I'm looking for volunteers to help me with the maintenance of my flower garden and maintenance in general.
I have 2 sons, Matte is 26 years old, already works and lives on his own. He comes to visit every 2 weeks, it is always nice to have him around. My youngest is Seth and he is 20 years old, he´s still studying for the moment.
Our family also consist a bunch of animals, almost all rescued and found. We have 2 dogs: Lara and Poppy; 5 cats: Snowball, Cookie, Diabolo, Lucifer and Bruno; all terribly spoiled by all the guests. My animals are super friendly and social and they get very well along with each other.
I already live 27 years in Portugal and can not imagine to live somewere else. Portugal is a very beautifull country and the people are extreemly nice and friendly. I fell in love when I came on holidays and came to live here permanently a year later.
This region is very nice and interesting to visit and to explore. It is dominated by the “Serra da Estrela”, the highest mountain range of Portugal mainland (1996m). It is unique with its huge granite rocks and specatular views, ideal for a daytrip out or to go for a hike, to take a swim in the picturesque river beaches on a hot sunny day, to visit the many rustic mountain villages, …
I run the campsite mostly together with a bunch of friends, what helps a lot to create a very good atmosphere, we always have a lot of fun. This place is so much more then just my work, it is my life and I still love doing it very much.
The campsite is unique in many ways: the buildings in the big granit blocks, the colourfull gardens with many flowers, the mosaics, the animals, the nature arround us, the mountains, the good food, ...

They are young but very motivated and responsible in everything they do.
No job was to much for them. Especially Noah was a huge help in the construction of the roofs of the wooden houses.
And we already miss the giggling of Isabel!!!

He is very easy going, adapts to the situation, a concious and mature young man, we had very interesting conversations.
He is also very skilled and does his work with great responsibility.
I wanted to stay for 2 weeks and ended up staying 3. It was my first Workaway experience, but it couldn't have been better. Mieke and her family made me feel like home and integrated me in their daily life (they took me even twice to play football with them and other local people). And the animals... I was… read more

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to work here and to enjoy all your kindness.

I was lucky enough to be able to house sit for Joost and Conny whilst they had a well deserved christmas break. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time looking after their horse, 4 dogs and 2 cats.
Their quinta and campsite is beautiful and the facilities are excellent. The surrounding area is great for visiting and especially walking,… read more
We had an amazing experience.
Our room was really spacious and had the biggest double bed I have ever seen, Upstairs above the bar.
The work was cleaning in the morning and then helping with the food preparations in the evening.
Joost, Connie, Matte & Seth were fantastic hosts and… read more
It wasn’t a lot of work, we had to lay the table, clean the kitchen and the bar, all this was taking just 5 hours – 3 hours in the morning and 2 at the evening. Then we were free and did everything we wanted. Thank very much to Isabel and Silvia. It was awesome to meet them! They are… read more
