I really enjoyed staying in Alvor. The work was easy to do and you picked up the tasks fast. Alvor is a cute town and the beach is reachable by foot, but I would not recommend staying longer than two weeks, because there is not a ton of stuff you can do. Overall a great experience!

I had a wonderful time in Alvor with Cristina!The city is quite small but very cute and there are a lot of activities and amazing places to visit nearby.The working hours were always respected and the tasks were quite easy to learn and Cristina was always very available for any question or request.I stayed in the accomodation that is a little bit far from the city centre but Alvor was easy to reach. The flat had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped.Cristina was an amazing host, she was lovely, extremely welcoming and always positive! I had a great time with the other volunteers!

This was my first volunteer experience and I had a lovely time! Cristina and Fabio were lovely and made you feel at home, the work was pretty easy and the same each day. Alvor is a cute village even if there isnt that much to do, but there are lots of buses to nearby towns like Portimao which are great to visit as well. The accommodation is nice as it had a kitchen, laundry and a pool even if it was a little far, the only thing I would say is that it could be more modernised. The other volunteers made the experience wonderful!

Cristina is a lovely person and was very welcoming to us the whole time we were there. She was very clear on the work that needed to be done everyday and it was never too hard or too long. Alvor is a great place although can be a bit quiet if you were there for more than 2 weeks.

This was the second period of volunteering Elliot and myself did. Cristina was an amazing host who continuously went out her way to ensure that we felt at home. Not one bad thing we could say about her or anyone else we worked with. The work hours were clearly defined and the work itself was easy. We were accommodated in a flat with other volunteers who also made the experience a lot more fun. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time in Alvor and would recommend it.

Christina was lovely! Very enthusiastic with a lot of energy, she was like a mother figure! There are 2 accom, one with a kitchen and a pool which was really nice and the other at the guest house which wasn't so equipped as there's only a microwave there. Alvor is a small but nice town with really nice beaches around. I think two weeks was enough as it was getting abit repetitive and we'd already explored the surrounding areas. But I would definitely come back back for a relaxing holiday as the beaches weren't overpacked like in portimao. All in all we had a great time. Thankyou Christina

It was my first visit to Portugal and I really liked the location. It is a very nice part with beautiful beaches. It is possible to come up with various activities in the area, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, some boat trips to the caves, etc.The work was well distributed, there were more of us volunteers, so I think that each volunteer knew what his job was and over time it went faster and faster. Maybe for the next season, I would definitely recommend modernizing the housing for volunteers more.But it's just my opinion. But I definitely recommend it to other volunteers, a great experience.

The host and the other volunteers were all lovely and welcoming! My only conern about the place is that the cleaning supplies are not all great, for example all the vacuums are broken, if that could be changed in the future that would be great. But other than that, it was a great experience, it was more than worth it for all the people I met!

Volunteering at Alvor with Cristina and Fabio was an amazing experience, we really felt welcomed and extremely well taking care of. The workload was completely manageable, and once we got to know the other volunteers it became easier. The location is wonderful and we had time to explore nearby towns and all the beaches. To sum up, it was a great experience and I'm very glad to have met such amazing people
