Nice and relaxed atmosphere, great working hours and easy tasks. You don't get free meals but a bike is available for 1 euro/day and the accommodation is clean and tidy. Worked off-season so not many guests but we were many volunteers working. Would recommend to rent a car or scooter to explore the island more

Working at the guest house was an absolute pleasure. Everyday Margarite would make delicious vegan pancakes, the work wasn't too hard and there is a choice of beaches a short walk away. Margarite also took me to the theatre & the hot springs at Lagoa do Fogo. The tea house had amazing food & teas and the guesthouse had a fully equipped kitchen, often with free food to enjoy. The island has been so beautiful to explore! Would highly recommend coming to the guest house!

A guest house foi minha primeira experiência pelo Worldpackers e posso dizer que não poderia ter escolhido melhor lugar pra começar :) Margarida é uma pessoa incrível, dinâmica, alegre e muito positiva. O trabalho é tranquilo, o lugar muito agradável e todas as pessoas que tive contato foram muito receptivas. Os Açores é um lugar de tirar o fôlego, a ilha é simplesmente maravilhosa! Um lugar que voltarei com certeza.. Só tenho a agradecer a Margarida e a todos que me acolheram tão bem!
