The Portuguese Element

We are close to several famous tourist spots in Faro. So while you help us here at the guesthouse you will also have the opportunity to get to know the city very well.

We like to share our experiences and learn from the traveler's life experience as well. It is nice to have different people helping us out and giving us new ways to see things.

Estuve 3 semanas en The Central. Fue durante temporada baja asi que las tareas fueron muy sencillas, limpiar cuartos de huespedes y areas comunes de ese hostel y de otros tambien. El equipo fue super amoroso.
Disfrute mi estadía, y la ciudad de Faro.

I really enjoyed my time in Faro! The tasks were easy, the working hours suited me well, and the accommodation was good in my opinion. I felt welcome throughout the whole experience, and the work team was very nice in general, especially since I had the chance to get to know the other volunteers. I am truly grateful for this experience. Thank you especially to Josefina, who trained me, and of course to Pedro :)

This was my first time volunteering abroad, and I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. Pedro and Sonia were always available, attentive and accommodating. The tasks were simple and very well explained. Communication and organization were excellent. I definitely recommend this experience and thank Pedro and Sonia for their availability and hospitality ;)

I had a wonderful time in The Portuguese Element, even though I almost hadn't seen Pedro and Sonja, they seemed very friendly on our brief encounters. Josefina was very helpful and always treated me well!

The tasks were easy to handle and I learned how to put a blanket inside a sheet on a record timing hahaha

I made good friends in my time in Faro and I recommend the experience to anyone !
