My stay at Rety and Bruno's permaculture exceeded expectations at every turn. The family are so welcoming, thoughtful, and kind. My main aim was to learn about how I could adopt permaculture practices into my own life yet, with everyone I met being fountains of knowledge, I left inspired and informed not only about sustainability but also travel, health, and so much more. I had the best time and it was so fun to experience the permaculture community in Portugal! Thank you Rety, Bruno, and Tim- I will definitely be coming back!

I throughly enjoyed myself on the farm, Rety and Bruno were very welcoming and accommodating. Rety cooked loads of delicious food for lunch and dinners and we always ate together outside it was very community based. They also introduced us to a few of their friends who live nearby who all have similar lifestyles it was really nice to meet some lovely people and hear their stories of how they ended up there. Would definitely recommend.

I had such an amazing experience staying with Rety, Bruno and Tim! I stayed there for a week and my time on the farm really flew by. They were all so welcoming and it was great to learn to know them. I really hope to come back and visit one day! I mainly got to work on the plastering of a strawbale house and I was able to learn a lot about natural building and sustainable living. The food was also delicious and the tent I slept in was great! Thank you so much for everything :)

It was a very good experience in Fairyland! Perfect place to chill and learn more about permaculture and how to live in harmony with nature time. Rety, Brunno and Tim are nice, friendly and funny people. The work to me was very nice, I could learn more about plants, bio construction and cook different things. I'll miss Haru and the cats, Boom & Sofia 💚🥎🌿✨

Well, firstly I would like to thank Rety and Bruno for all the accommodation and healthy food we had, I volunteered with my boyfriend, we were very well received. Rety taught us a lot about care, management and other knowledge about permaculture and caring for the environment. The place is very calm, peaceful and welcoming. The most sustainable way of living teaches us about living most harmoniously with Mother Gaia. We also take care of Haru, a very cute dog, and Boom and Sophia, the cats ♡ I loved spending this season with you, I hope I can come back at some point. I RECOMMEND.
