Cantinho Alberto Caeiro

We live at a a fantastic location: Directly on the seafront, 20 min walking distance to beach and great walks. The sunsets are amazing.
The area is very rural but Lisbon is within easy reach. The village is 3 km up the hill and has a mini-mercado, 2 cafes and a restaurant.
We love our pets which consist of 4 dogs, 5 cats, 13 chickens, 1 guineafowl, 1 rooster called Tarzan. We live off-grid and have a basic life style.


Nuno is passionate about global politics and music. Suze is a busy bee: working remote (and has to go back to Holland occasionally), loves her handicrafts and garden. We are easy going and don't start too early. We eat little meat (Suze tries to be vegetarian). We are def. not a party place and drink little to no alcohol. You will stay in a basic caravan in a quiet corner of the land. It has a simple kitchen, lights and a USB to charge your mobile phone (bring a US-C converter if you need one). Computers can be charged near the house. You have the use of a very small fridge in the garage. You have your own dry (compost) toilet and we share the shower in the garage. We expect 4-5 hours of work, 5 days a week. In summer work involves mainly household type of tasks and sometimes jobs such as cleaning the chicken coop / garden work / painting etc. In winter we generally do not have volunteers unless we need help with a specific project / tasks / skills. Because of remoteness, we prefer a couple or 2 friends.

Me& my friend had a wonderful time with Nuno&Suze (&lovely pets)! They were always kind& helpful& made us feel at home in the small caravan that we lived in. The location was fantastic, with the most amazing cliffs right at our doorstep. It was in general wonderful nature all around and Suze&Nuno always recommended us where it was best to go&what to enjoy. As for work, we cleaned their Airbnb caravans, did some weeding and other very manageable jobs! Side note: Suze is a wonderful cook and made the most delicious lunches for us all to enjoy together. Absolutely amazing experience! Obrigada! 🫶🏼

It was a truly beautiful experience. I received a very warm welcome, we had great lunches cooked by Suze and nice conversations with Nuno, and got some sweet cuddles from the animals residing there. A few hours in the morning was doable and after that we had the rest of the day to ourselves. The glamping place being located right next to the cliffs also made it to one of my favourite places in the world. Obrigada!

This was my boyfriend and I’s first worldpacker’s experience and it was so wonderful! It was everything we were hoping for. Working for a few hours in the morning, enjoy lunch together, then we would spend our afternoons at the beach. It was truly beautiful there and all the animals were amazing. Nuno and Suze are lovely hosts, we are going to miss our time on the farm dearly, but are so happy with the experience. ☺️💛🐕

Realmente fue la mejor experiencia que he tenido como voluntario, Suze y Nuno me hicieron sentir parte de su familia, el tiempo pasó muy rapido y no queriamos volvernos, es un lugar magico y muy tranquilo, donde se valora mucho convivir con animales y estar en contacto constante con la naturaleza.
Las tareas son simples de realizar, aptas para todos, se trabaja muy pocas horas a la mañana y se ayuda con el amuerzo.
Te ofrecen una caravana muy linda para vivir, es un lugar de desconexión, de mirar para afuera y para adentro de uno mismo.
Gracias a ambos por todo, los quiero!
Me voy agradecido

Una experiencia inolvidable.
Suze y Nuno son unos anfitriones maravillosos, con mucha atención a los detalles y mucha buena onda.
El trabajo es ameno y acordé a lo que un voluntario debería hacer, puede ir desde preparar las caravanas que ellos alquilan hasta pintar o hacer arreglos en el jardín.
El lugar es hermoso, tienem muchos gatos, perros y gallinas muy divertidas.
La zona es increíble, con paisajes maravillosos y mucho para conocer, la región en hermosa. Se encuentra bastante alejado de la ciudad lo que lo hace un muy buen lugar para relajarse y descansar después de trabaja
