It was an amazing experience staying at Paul's for two weeks! Past volunteers reviews on this place already paint a very accurate picture and I don't think I have much to add. Other than - be ready to get your hands dirty (makes sense working in the countryside) and when you come during a colder time, pack thermal wear and other warm clothes for sleeping. Great conversations, amazing surrounding nature (and great hiking trails fairly close), great food and always felt cared for. All around a very positive experience, will be back! Thank you!

Paul is the best! He was making sure we had a good time in Portalegre and wanted to give us tasks we liked and stuff. We did really nice things and we learned a lot. If I ever get the chance, i would like to come back.

Paul is a very nice host and he really makes sure his volunteers have everything they need. The work is nice and the environment where he lives is beautiful! Also, he gave us the chance to see the neighborhood and he took us to meet his friends. We had a great time!!

My/our experience at Paul's place was really nice. The area and garden is beautiful and you get to enjoy pure nature. There is a little waterfall that runs through his place aswell. I helped mostly in the garden and also cooked once. It was nice eating and cooking with the other volunteers or his two girls who are very sweet. Also I will miss Odin, his dog :) I learnt a lot from Paul about gardening and living offgrid We also got to meet some locals at a dance, which was very warming. Even though we were porly, we felt well look after. Thanks for the experience& i can only recommend! :)

What to say about the last few weeks... This was my first experience volunteering and I couldn't have started better. the farm has an incredible energy and made me reconnect with writing and my art. Paul is an excellent host and makes everything to let the volunteers as comfortable as possible, with accommodation or choosing tasks. Talking about the tasks, there's a list of tasks that he'd like to be done and you're free to choose which ones you'd like to do or you can also suggest new ones. I truly recommend a stay at the farm. It's a magic place with wonderful people. :D

Staying at Paul's place was a great experience. I learned many things about the environment and sustainability by working with him. There are many tasks that need to be done and you can choose according to your preferences. The view from his land is beautiful and makes you want to explore the nature. Finally, Paul is really commited to make everything for the good of the volunteers and of his two young and smart daughters.

I really enjoyed my stay at Paul's farm and it was an amazing first volunteer experience!! Paul really cares about the volunteers and wants to make sure everyone is comfortable. The work was quite easy and interesting, and you can always choose from lots of tasks based on your skills and interests. For example, I helped with editing a website, painting, clearing the terraces, weeding, planting seeds, harvesting grapes, and even learning how to make wine together! The vegetarian food was delicious, and I enjoyed cooking together with the other volunteers and of course, making new friends!

Working together with Paul was really great, he explains the work very well, helps you improve your English and teaches you things in life that are also useful. Being at her home was really a luxury as she cooks well, her daughters also helped me improve my English and helps you connect with nature. Besides that, he taught me some tricks to learn to play the guitar. My main objective was to improve my English and I think I did it since your family and friends help you a lot to lose that fear that if you speak badly. Being my first volunteer was very good, I would even go back.

My stay was amazing, the place is quiet and peaceful, you could just be silent and listen to the nature. Paul is a great person, he made me feel like I was part of his family, he's kind, patient and easy to comunicate with, plus his daughters are lovely.

I spent 3 weeks on Paul's quinta and my stay was fantastic. The quinta is a beautiful place where you have amazing views and a good place for stargazing. Paul is a very laid back person. He's helpful and patient to explain the jobs. If one job doesn't fit you, no problem, there are always other jobs to do. So you can always find a job that will match your interests and skills. The working hours are very flexible. In the weekends we went for a swim in the lake nearby and went to a fiesta in Castelo de Vide.
