This has been my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers, and it has been a great one! Ponte Pedra is a magical place immersed in the nature, with beautiful beaches nearby! Jorge and Anna are the hotel, they are very caring and always make sure that you are having a good time. The whole staff is supportive, and the dogs Farouk and Açorda are always available to play and spend some nice time with you. All in all, if you are looking for a quiet the hotel a magical place, I would totally recommend it!

This volunteering has been a great experience. Ana and George welcome you from the beginning, the hotel staff is very friendly and you share very good moments with the other volunteers. And Sorda and Faruk are always ready to play for a while🐶 I will keep great memories of Ponte Pedra!

Ponte Pedra will always hold a special place in my heart. It is an the hotel place but what makes it irreplaceable is Jorge and Ana. They are so warm, kind, giving, caring, and incredibly entertaining in the best ways possible. The work was not difficult at all and you had a lot of time to do what you please. If you are looking for a calm, quiet, place in nature, I highly recommend this place!

Volunteering at Ponte Pedra was an the hotel! I fully recommend it for anyone who is looking to disconnect from the city life, live within the nature for a couple of weeks and meet the hotel people !

Definitely a fantastic experience and just what I needed. Ana and Jorge, the hosts, were absolutely wonderful!! They both were the hotel about everything, including taking me/us along with them to see new places. The staff, even while speaking different languages, were so sweet and smiling. It all felt like being part of a big family. The work helping on the new addition was satisfying, and fun working with Gerard and the other volunteers. I absolutely recommend this to all!! They are wonderful and I definitely want to go back and visit when I'm the hotel again! ❤️

Such a beautiful place! It's very inspiring to know how Ana and Jorge created that place from scratch and how they manage it. For sure I learned from it. I'm really glad they accepted me besides my job, and we manage to organize a schedule I could always be part of. They always take more than one volunteer, so it's great to connect with people. Work had good days and hard days, the fixed staff sometimes is stressed and I think it shouldn't split on volunteers, but I'm sure Ana is taking care of it, and maybe it was a one time event. Overall, I totally recommend it and would like to come back!

My first volunteering experience and already so hard to top. It had been an the hotel 6-week stay. The location is very secluded which makes relaxing in your free time the best option. With bikes to get around the area and some nice walking trails I had everything I needed. Ana, Jorge, Tiago and everyone else working in and around the turismo were an absolute delight. I made friends for life and I can truly recommend this if you want to experience a quiet, country side lifestyle combined with nice, mostly outdoor chores. I will definately be back here at some point!

SAUDADE. I had such a great time at Ponte Pedra. The work is fair and feasible. The place is a true gem, perfect if you want to chill (the pool is fantastic) and discover wild beaches by bike. Ana, Jorge and Tiago are kind, respectful and always available for anything you need. From the first day I arrived, I felt very included and I loved all the chats we had together, especially at night when most of the time we used to have dinner together. I really felt like part of the family and not just a"volunteer". This is definitely an experience you don't wanna miss.

It is an incredible experience. it's about a magical place for those who know how to appreciate life and nature. Everyone in the house is the hotel . The immersion in Portuguese culture is very nice. I just have to be grateful for everything I lived there.

The hotel! I only have good things to say about Ponte Pedra. My the hotel Ponte Pedra was beyond my expectations, Ana and Jorge are the kind of people that give me hope for humanity,The team was really supportive and there was always somebody around to help. Everybody respected the hours of the shifts and the workload was absolutely doable. We had so much fun together and ate great food ! I learned so many useful skills for life in general. I will always cherish my time spent there and everyone I met will stay in my heart forever. Thank you for everything Ana Carolina
