You can tell that Mariana, Pedro and Lise are used to having volunteers, which is nice. They made sure to explain to me very well how everything worked. The area is stunning, the camper is cozy and the horses are cute and really well cared for. For me one of the only things that made my stay stressful at times were the unreliable work hours, sometimes we'd be asked to help with extra, urgent tasks very spontaneously, in addition to our daily ones. This would fx be catching a dog on the loose, and they don't like being on leash so it was hard. But if you're okay with that then no problem!

My time with Mariana and Pedro was very relaxing. I really appreciate how they treat their horses and dogs, you can see that they put a lot of love into it. Due to the busy season I didn't speak to them very much, but they did their best to make it as comfortable as possible for me. Lise is also a very hard worker with a lot of patience, with whom I felt very comfortable. If you go there I would definitely recommend you to bring some reading books and warm clothes. In the evenings it cools down a lot, I underestimated myself a bit.

Mariana and Pedro were very good hosts, always answered any questions we had and gave us tips on places to go in the local area. Overall the work is very simple and clearly explained so after a couple of days it's easy to get the work done on time. All the horses were lovely and clearly very loved and well cared for. I got the opportunity to ride during the stay which was amazing, the location is very pretty with impressive views.

Even though my stay was short since i had to leave earlier because of family stuff my experience there was amazing Mariana, Pedro and the rest of the family were very friendly and always willing to help the place is located in beautiful mountains with amazing views You need to be prepared for colder nights and some bugs since its a farm and it's always colder in the mountains id recommend it especially if you're going for the first time🫶🏻

The experience at the farm was very good, Mariana and Pedro are very welcoming hosts, they provide you with everything you need. You will sleep in a caravan with an other volunteer, if you go in November/December remember to take warm clothes because the weather is pretty cold. You will work mostly in the morning by cleaning the stable and bringing back the horses (they are free during the night). The rest of the day you will have a lot of free time, the place is pretty remote (the nearest village is about one hour walk) but there are a lot of nice walks you can do. I totally recommend it!

I had a great experience at the farm, the hosts Mariana and Pedro were kind and patient, their animals were all loved and well cared for. We never worked the full four hours and most of the work was in the morning. Me and another volunteer lived in a caravan beside the house, with a fully stocked kitchen to cook our meals. The surrounding area is very beautiful but also pretty remote, so remember to bring a few books or something to occupy your time. We also got the chance to go out riding with the clients, which was amazing, and visit Porto for a weekend. Overall I highly recommend!

My 2-week stay at the farm was an incredible experience! Mariana and Pedro, our hosts, were very welcoming and showed a true passion for their ecotourism project. I learned the true responsibility of caring for horses, even in extreme weather conditions like heavy rainfalls and strong winds during my stay. It was a valuable learning experience. I stayed in a cozy caravan, fully stocked with a kitchen filled with food. Mariana was always ready to help with any special requests. The surroundings were stunning, with vast landscapes and cows roaming the area. Definitely recommend this stay! :)

This experience was very good! Mariana and Pedro are kind and empathetic, they also help you with everything you need. The tasks are simple and were completed in 2 hours a day, after we had free time. The bad part for me was that I had a very bad weather and I could't enjoy my free time. I would definitely return at another time of the year.

Pedro and Mariana were great hosts, they treat the volunteers with respect and kindness and will always help you if needed. The nature is very beautiful and you can go on may great hikes. It is a great place to connect with animals and nature and disconnect from busy city life. Most of the work is done in the morning, the working hours are very manageable!

I love the experience. It is a nice place to really get away and focus on yourself and the nature around you. The work was easy and fun and we had a lot of free time to hike, go to the waterfall or the nearby town. Mariana and Pedro are super sweet and nice. I'm happy to have been here ✨️
