Alvor is a beautiful village on the sea, the beach is reachable in a few minutes and you can easily walk on the sea up to the typical Algarve's rocks. Cristina is nice and the accommodation is ok but the work is a bit hard

I stayed at the guest house for two weeks, keep in mind that you work 6 days in a row and the 7th is your day off so I got one day off whilst volunteering for 2 weeks. All staff and volunteers are lovely, mainly spoke in Portuguese so if English is your only language (like me) it can take a while to get comfortable with them speaking around you in Portuguese. I worked 8-1 everyday and my jobs where consistent. I was mainly helping prepare breakfast until around 9am and then I would go off to other guest houses and help clean.

It was a great experience, living conditions can be improved. All of the volunteers were amazing and we had so much fun. Alvor is a small lovely beach town. Tasks were fair, communication can definitely be improved.

It was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was more fantastic! Host Cristina was so welcoming and generous, she has a lot of energy and she likes what she does and she is good at it. It is a really lovely place to stay as everything is so close and beautiful to visit. The work is easy and not a lot, you only work in the morning and you are free to do whatever you want in the afternoon. I met some amazing volunteers as well.

I had a very good time here! The people I met are amazing and very welcoming. The place is clean and the tasks aren't difficoult to learn and to do. The work usually starts at 8 and often the task you have to do is assigned day by day. Be ready to challenge yourself by learning how to do different things and adapt ti different tasks and situations. The work is very various. The guest House is located close to Alvor center and close to the most beautiful beaches. Cristina is caring and welcoming, she'll show you everything you need to know. Obrigada! 😊

It was an unforgettable experience! Alvor is one of the most beautiful and quiet place in Portugal, the guest house was without guests due to the end of the summer season, so we had to work on the country side helping them to move and clean, it was fun, I really enjoyed with the rest of the group we create a super nice relationship and memories. Cristina, can't be more thankful with her, once I arrived there I got sick, she was treating me like a daughter, helping me with literally everything! Thank you really ❤️ And thank to Tony, Carol, Ana, Jess and Sam without you won't be the same Ciao🤌😘

The guest house Demar was an incredible experience! Alvor is beautiful, quiet but has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants, beautiful beaches and amazing sunsets. As I volunteered in the off-season, the Guest House didn't have many guests, this way some tasks were done other than those proposed, nothing too difficult (there were also days we didn't have that much work). Cristina is an incredible person, very open for conversation, attentive and always looking for everyone to be well. I can't fail to mention amazing people I met there, lucky to have gone and lived this together with you! ❤️❤️
