A guesthouse like home

I had a great time helping out at Cristina's guest house in Alvor! The work was very manageable and it was very easy to connect and enjoy Alvor with the other volunteers. Cristina is an amazing person; always friendly and respectful, energetic, funny and direct, she made the experience stress free and worthwhile. I felt at home immediately and as my first volunteering position it has made me excited for more in the future. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to get an insight into Portuguese culture whilst also enjoying the company of other travelers from around the world.

It was my first time travelling with worldpackers and I really hope every experience will be as nice as this one! Ardemar is a lovely place with a nice atmosphere. The work is a bit different every day and not too much, but you're never bored ;) Cristina is the perfect host! She is such a nice and warm person, always smiling and happy and she makes the best breakfast. Well definitely come back!

Mas que lugar sensacional, a Cris é uma positividade em pessoa, sempre de bom humor e elogiando o trabalho dos voluntários, ela também fornece um café da manhã/pequeno almoço maravilhoso que eu particularmente desejava todos os dias, ela faz doces incríveis e sempre leva para os voluntários. As tarefas são fáceis e geralmente feitas pela manhã, os familiares dela também são incríveis, todos te tratam como uma pessoa da família. A região tem diversas praias lindas que dá pra ir andando e muitos bares/restaurantes por ser uma zona bem turística. Super recomendo !!! Sentirei mts saudades de tds.

Cristina is the most loving host! The work was easy and she always made me feel like home. Her guest house is super cute and Alvor couldn't be more beautiful. I had a really good stay there and I hope I can go back sometime.

A cidade é uma gracinha, a guesthouse é super confortável e pertinho de tudo. O trabalho era muito tranquilo, basicamente limpeza e manutenção da guesthouse ou de outras propriedades dos mesmos donos. A Cris é muito flexível e generosa, levou-nos pra almoçar, deu-me boleia pra Portimão, é uma pessoa leve de espírito! Sou muito grata por tê-la conhecido, assim como os demais voluntários, com quem treinei bastante meu espanhol haha Foi por muito pouco que eu não estendi minha estadia hehe Podem se candidatar para esta experiência sem medo!

I couldn't have had a better experience here. Cristina was always so welcoming and kind and made me feel comfortable from the get-go. I worked in the mornings and then had plenty of time to explore the town and its beautiful beaches. Definitely recommend it!!

As this was my third experience I can say things worked out different than expected. Although the work was not the same as I agreed upon, Cristina was very understanding and respectful. As others tell, she'll be there whenever you need her. Staying with the other volunteers, amazing people by the way, was a moment of live and let live. It was a sociable atmosphere in which spaces were being respected.

I really enjoyed this place for the beautiful location and for meeting other volunteers! During my stay there weren't many guests so we mainly helped Cristina and her family with tasks on a farm that they're moving to. Mostly cleaning coops and moving furniture, so it wasn't too fun, and different from what I expected, but the people were nice and Cristina was very friendly and helpful. There were a few days when us girls helped with housekeeping and cleaning, which was good. Working hours were from 8am to 1pm and usually Cristina would cook a really nice lunch for everyone!

I didn't like the work itself that much, because instead of housekeeping we were helping them to move. So we were basically packing boxes the whole time and didn't work in the hostel at all.(The other volunteers said it's usually different.) But Christina is really nice. She even invited us for lunch a couple of times and we were allowed to use her private pool. It was fun to meet that many new people. So in general, the work wasn't fun but if you are okay with working hard for a couple of hours for being around nice people and spending your time near the beach this experience might be for you

The guest house is a nice guesthouse to stay in Alvor and Cristina is such a good host because che can really transmits energy to everyone. After some hours of work in the morning you are free to have breakfast and spent the rest of the day in the way you choose. My experience with others volunteers was so nice because we spent a week like a family.
