Amazing place, Luci and Rafael make me feel comfortable from the beginning or as they said I was part of the team or family. The tasks were simple with dedication, will take around 2.5 - 3 to finish, it's a small hostel and really you can feel it like your home, invites to relax and enjoy. Also is an amazing place for trekking along the beaches, see sunsets and sunrises.In the restaurant next to the hostel, where were my lunches, the food always was really good and made it with love. Everybody was so kind and warm. Thanks so much for everything, I was so happy in this place, you're the best 💓

To say that my stay at the hostel was a 5-star is an understatement. Lúcia and Rafael are simply one of the kindest, funniest, and most welcoming people I have ever met. They were always very understanding, happy to help, and full of incredible travel stories. The tasks were simple, which gave me a lot of freedom to explore the beautiful surrounding area. I feel so lucky to have had been a part of the hostel, and I look back at this experience with nothing but gratitude and fondness– I would absolutely do all of it over again. Thank you for everything, I hope we meet again soon!

Lucía and Rafael are just the best hosts! They are kind, easy-going and always willing to help and hangout. It was my first volunteering and it was amazing. The tasks are really simple so I had plenty of time to be at the beach or to take walks or just do pendings. Also can't skip the deliciousness of the food over there! I cherish good moments and now have 2 good new friends!

The hostel is a locally owned hostel literally a mere 30-second walk to the beach, and I am extremely grateful and proud that I got to call it home for 30 days through this experience. Lúcia is a phenomenal host, and it is inevitable that you find a friend in her because she is truly one of the most genuine, generous, down-to-earth people I've ever met. If you are lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of the hostel team, you are in for a treat! The free lunch is always extremely delicious, and it is right here that I've had the best Portuguese meals of my life thus far. the hostel, muito obrigado!
