The Experience

We are a couple of 58 years old, we run a small country side hotel with 10 rooms, located in nature, 7 km from the beach, and 7 km from the little Melides Village. We need an autonomous person to help with the guests. Simple life. No parties, no bars , guests are looking to relax. So, if you are looking for a place to stop and relax this is the place for you., if you are looking for a party place this is not for you.

As all the other reviews tend to say, you can't beat volunteering here! You hungry? Volunteers don't know the meaning of that word here! You want to socialise? All the staff will happily talk on any subject, the other volunteers too, and if you want your space, everybody understands. There's plenty of exploring to do from castles to beaches, bird watching to paddle tennis, cycling through beautiful landscapes or sunbathing by the pool. Don't ask any more questions, just apply and pray you get accepted.

Ana and Jorge are kind and generous hosts who are worth getting to know. The environment they've created is incredibly warm and welcoming, the work and hours are fair, living conditions provide all that you need, although the nights can be a bit cold, they have plenty of blankets and will always try to accommodate if there is a problem. Outside of work, they welcome you to use the bikes to go the short 25 min to the beach or will offer to drive if they're headed into town. I highly recommend this experience!

Ana and Jorge are wonderful hosts! They always make an effort to make you feel comfortable and share different experiences with you. I loved my time at Ponte Pedra! If you want to be surrounded by nature sharing with welcoming people, this is your place :)

This was the most incredible experience! Ana and Jorge are the hotel people and made me feel so at home from my first moment at Ponte Pedra. The work was very fair and enjoyable and you have so many opportunities to experience the local culture. Thank you so much Ana and Jorge for such an excellent month 💛 x

I loved my time at Ponte Pedra. Ana and Jorge are really kind and interesting people, they provide bikes for the volunteers to visit the local beaches and towns in your free time, and are generous with taking you to the bus station if you want to visit other places on your days off. The surrounding landscape is beautiful and I think it's a unique chance to experience rural the hotel. The work will keep you busy but it's straightforward and hours/days off are respected. Obrigada :)
