Cristina is so lovely and genuinely cares about the guest house and the guests. The work was relatively easy and I was able to finish earlier everyday due to it not being super busy. The accomodation is homey and the other volunteers were very friendly! Alvor is beautiful and there are many beautiful beaches near by to explore! There isn't much else to do though, so I would recommend this experience if you are looking for a more relaxing stay!

Alvor is so beautiful and the beaches are amazing. This was my first volunteer experience and I didn't know what to expect, but Christina is so positive and friendly and she really takes care of you! The accomodation is quite nice: you stay in the top floor/attic of a guesthouse villa which is pretty with a small pool and terrace. It is up to the volunteers to maintain the space so the cleanliness varies. The work never went over 5 hours for us (it was often 4); it varied depending on the shift you were given. None of the tasks were difficult but there were a lot. Overall would recommend!

Our time in alvor lots of fun, there was lots of volunteers which made it such a social experience which i absolutely loved and we had lots of free time outside work hours to explore and enjoy the beautiful beaches. Christina is very warm and welcoming, work difficultly can very from day to day and is challenging at times but is very well explained and facilitated. You start working at 7:50am or 10am and the work ranges from cleaning rooms, cleaning and preparing food in the kitchen for guests and gardening, the volunteer house is outside the centre so there is a bit of walking to locations:)

The work was tiring but exactly as described and fair. Cristina is very direct, and she and Fabio were kind and understanding especially when I was sick the first day. Alvor is gorgeous, highly recommend checking out Praia de Três Castelos but you can't go wrong anywhere

Cristina is so kind-hearted person. I felt there like in my grandmother's house! Working hours are always respected, hostel is close to hiking area and 30 minutes to the beach on foot. If you enjoy being close to nature, I would highly recommend this place!
