Monte do Roque

Well established farm (some parts under renovation) surrounded by nature (montado) with spectacular views at reasonable distance to bigger towns.

Volunteers become part of the family, with enough personal space if need be. We are flexible in the work or projects the volunteer likes to participate in. We particularly value any skills that come in handy and that we may be lacking ourselves. Volunteers can also participate in ongoing activities.

We had a great time on the farm learning about the care and maintenance of animals and farm. Good balance of work and time off to explore the hiking trails and see the village. Tom made delicious and creative meals every night and Veronique and Tom were generous with driving us to different towns to sight see or be dropped off at the bus station!

A beautiful farm, the work was fun, and the living space was very comfortable. Veronique can be difficult to work with, instructions were often unclear and communication could be significantly improved.

Communication is a 2-way street. When sth is unclear to you, there is a solution: ask. Don’t just sit back, wait and just mention it here. We regret you didn't like it here (3*) & that these are the only things you shared. Not our flexibility to take you in last minute when another host let you down, not that we accepted that you then arrived 5 days late, with an extra 3rd friend. Not the extra breakfast & snacks we gave (not in the offer), all the things we taught you, the driving around, etc.

We regret your stay did not work out as expected. We advise you to always study the offered positions well before applying and to choose sites that cater to your needs with less teamwork and less work with women involved. We regret the mistake in your choice of place results in a one star review. We still shared our house and our best food with little work in return. We do always try our best to make WPers feel at home and enjoy the experience. We wish you all the best with your future travels!

I myself had a lovely experience at the farm and I enjoyed most of it. I felt very welcomed and the hosts are very flexible. However the only downside was that the girl I was there with was sick and so the whole situation between the hosts and her got a bit complicated. I would recommend this experience but it would be good to know beforehand that the room you will be sleeping is more or less as cold as outside, so if this doesn't align with you then I would recommend you to reconsider. It's a great way to connect with nature, learn about culture and it's also very educational.

I had an amazing time at Monte do Roque! The work I did was very diverse from taking care of the animals over creating artwork to building cages I loved every part of it.
I felt welcomed from my arrival and enjoyed the often long discussions with Veronique, I felt like she was really interested to get to know me as a person and it feels like family.
I felt like my work was appreciated and we spent a lot of time together, I was taken on multiple trips and got to meet many people. They were really accommodating, respectful and interested.
All in all a great experience and a trip I will rem
