Quinta da Carvalheira

This is an ancient house with 300y with a lot of stories and memories.

This house has been kind of "abandoned" in the last 30 years. We are now renovating it while giving a new life and transformation to the space.

This is not a hotel or a guesthouse, it's our home, an under construction project and a space for learning and regeneration.

If you like the experience of being part of a community while helping us making our project have more impact, join us!

We are 2 fulltime team members: Inês and Simone. Volunteers will be welcomed as new team members who will be co-creating with us. We expect responsibility, proactivity while learning, sharing and having fun!

Con mi amiga Thiare fue nuestra primera experiencia y superó todas nuestras expectativas.
En el mes aprendimos demasiado y adicional a eso logramos generar grandes vínculos con los amigos de carvalheira y la comunidad. Todos son muy buenas personas y hacen que la quinta se sienta como una gran familia.
Siento que es un espacio ideal para alguien que esté buscando crecer y cambiar la forma de hacer las cosas, desconectar para conectar con lo que realmente te haga sentido.
Gracias por recibirnos tan bien nos estamos viendo prontamente.

Fue nuestro primer voluntariado y nos fuimos del lugar con el corazón lleno de amor 🫶.
Ines y Simone junto a la comunidad de Soure/Venda Nova nos recibieron e hicieron una estadía más que grata y una experiencia que superó nuestras expectativas. Mas que un voluntariado, fue vivir y sentirnos como en casa 🏠.
El crecimiento que vivimos fue a nivel espiritual, psicológico , de conocimientos de permacultura, cuidado de animales, alimentación regenerativa, experiencias al aire libre, hicimos comunidad y mucho más.

I recommend this place to individuals who like community living and who speak Portuguese or Spanish and English for easy communication. The living space is comfortable and the food provided is good, they can meet your needs even if you are vegan. The tasks are varied by day, I helped building a bunk bed, taking care of the chickens, cutting ivy, planting, cooking and weeding. You have planty of opportunities to socialise since this is a community place and workshops take place here often, you can meet locals and internationals as well. Ines is kind and helpful.

La quinta está ubicada en un entorno hermoso. Las comidas de Simone son llenas de amor e Inés fue muy abierta con nosotros y nos hizo parte de todas las actividades que hubieron.
Aprendimos mucho y lo pasamos muy bien. Nada más que decir :)

Staying with Ines and Simone was lovely! The house is big and interesting, and the vibe was always collaborative, kind and friendly, like family . We learnt so much with them, not only about working with land but also about growing and working with the community and neighbours. We met so many amazing and interesting people. A very holistic experience!
