I had a nice time in Alvor! Cristina and Joaquim are super warm and kind people and great hosts. Everything was explained to me right away and the work was always clear. I helped with cleaning and actually worked less than what was listed, so I had much time to enjoy the beautiful town :) Alvor is a lovely and relaxed place right by the beach. I would recommend this experience!

Cristina and Joaquim arr great hosts! I had an awesome time getting to know the other voluntiers and exploring the region of Algarve, which is beautiful. The work was intense but fair, composed mainly of housekeeping at the guesthouse and dish washing, and we had the whole afternoon and night free to do whatever we liked. Would totaly recomend this experience for someone who is wanting to get to know the Algarve region and make some friends! Great way to travel, have fun and save some good money!

I truly had an amazing time at the guest house! The work load was exactly as described, housekeeping and for about 4 hours a day, sometimes less. I would walk to the beach after which was very nice. Christina and her husband were very kind and welcoming. I would have to say finding the location was very difficult, so put in the coordinates she give in to GOOGLE maps not apple maps. Other than that it was amazing and hopefully i will be back in the future!

I mainly did housekeeping & the work exchange was more than fair. Afterwards you can go to the beach, pool, nap...I preferred nap & beach in the evening :) The accommodations were good, cleanliness depends on everyone, be respectful! You spend a lot of time around the other volunteers & it's a wonderful cultural exchange opportunity. Cristina & her team are very kind & open to communication. You can walk to town, the grocery store & the beaches. Give yourself a day or two to adjust to living w/ others, learn the workload & the town…then it starts to feel like home! Thank you Cristina & Alvor!

It was a fantastic experience. Cristina and her husband are wonderful people, kind and helpful. The work is as described, sometimes even less so. Cristina immediately gave us the right instructions to da good job, and best of all, you'll never be alone because you work in groups or pairs, which I really appreciated. We volunteers lived in a separate house; we had everything we needed, including a pool and a terrace. The house was close to the supermarket, the city center and the beach. I highly recommend this experience, and if you're lucky, your rommates will become your friends.

I had a great time in Alvor! Christine is a very kind and welcoming host and so was her whole family as well. The accommodation that was provided was cozy and just a 15min walk from work and Alvor itself. The cleanliness of the accommodation is up to the volunteers to maintain so keep that in mind. The work itself wasnt too hard and we sometimes had the chance to finish early. Alvor is a small town with not much to do, however the Algarve coastline has beautiful beaches to offer and towns to explore. This volunteering experience is ideal if youre looking for a laid-back holiday vibe.

I mostly worked in the kitchen, and would clock in at 8 and work until 12 or 13. Some days I had help the whole day, and the work would be very easy. On days where I was working alone, the tasks were more time consuming. We stayed at the guesthouse itself and shared a room with Fabio. It was nice and central, but the other volunteers stayed in another house, so we didn't see them as much. Every day we would go to the beach and in the evening we would explore nearby cities like Lagos or Portimão, or just stay in Alvor. Cristina and her team were all very nice, thank you for everything!
