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.

The whole team is great from Ana, George, Mizi , Tess, Karina, Abbie(Volunteer)and Senhor Jose. The area is perfect if you like wilderness and rural vibe. The bike they provided is pretty okay to ride around. If you're lucky, you may see a deer or two. I was there in end of October and windy so I only tried the pool one time. I am sure it will be great in the summer. This is my first time doing worldpackers and I would give 10 out of 10.

I had such a lovely stay at Ponte Pedra :) They have an the hotel place - it's so peaceful and beautiful! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, the accommodation was perfect and the food was delicious & plentiful! The work hours were respected and I found the work really rewarding and easy to get on with. Overall I feel extremely grateful for this exchange and experience. Chilling by the pool, chatting with other volunteers/workers and visiting nearby beaches made great memories! It's a stunning part of the country and I couldn't recommend volunteering here more!
