I volunteered in Portugal and it was such a great experience! Nuno is very welcoming, helpful, and easy person to talk to. The atmosphere was friendly and the whole team was like a big family to me. The tasks were clear and not too heavy. After work, there was always time to hang out, cook together, and explore the area. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good vibes, nice people, and enjoyable work. I would happily come back!

Being at the guest house was like being at home :) made lots of friends and enjoyed the work. The work was easy and I did it with pleasure. Nuno and the team are fantastic they feel like family. It's good to know that I have a place in faro to return when I'm missing it :) recommended.

I did reception shifts and felt a bit thrown into the cold water with it at first, especially as a non Portuguese speaker, but by time I got more comfortable so it was a big learning for me! At my time I was almost the only non Portuguese speaking volunteer, so I thought it was a very good idea that we shared the daily lunches with another hostels' volunteers which had more English speakers. Everyone was very kind and I made a lot of friends to hang out in and around Faro! Accommodation could have been better in my opinion, everything was quite run-down and wasn't kept clean that well.
