If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Praias das Maças is a cosy place. And Lucia, Rafael and his family made everything easy for me from the first moment! The tasks are simple and the atmosphere of the hostel is very good. My experience here has been unforgettable, and I know 100% that I will be back very soon!

Don't hesitate for a second to apply for this volunteer opportunity!!!! Lucia and Rafael are incredible people, the best hosts, you'll feel comfortable from the very first moment. You'll enjoy Sundays in their company and that of Domingo, their father. Plus, Lucía is an amazing cook and will teach you traditional Portuguese dishes. the hostel is a place with beautiful facilities, right in front of the beach and with an absolutely fascinating environment. It has a wonderful energy.

It's hard to find the right words to describe how valuable this experience was for me. Lúcia, Rafael, and their entire family and friends are incredibly warm and kind people who make you feel truly at home. The hostel and the whole town feel like a fairy tale. The work is easy and enjoyable - you simply take care of the hostel as if it were your own home. Saying goodbye was very hard, and I truly envy (in a good way;)) everyone who still has this experience ahead of them. I recommend it to every kind soul - you won't regret it:)

My 4-week experience at the hostel was amazing! The location next to the beach is unbeatable, with everything you need nearby - bus stop, mini market, etc. The hosts were lovely, communication was smooth, and the work was easy and fun. Delicious lunch was provided daily, which was a great perk. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything Lucia and Raphael! Hope to see you again! ☺️
