I had a wonderful time at Miranka's ecofarm, it was truly an amazing experience. The daily routine of caring for the animals, gardening, and helping in the kitchen was enjoyable and gave me a real connection to nature. The terrain and surroundings are beautiful, and it felt great to live so close to them. Miranka is a welcoming and interactive host, always helpful and easy to talk to. We even shared movie nights, which made the stay feel homely. Overall, it was meaningful, refreshing, and a memorable experience I'm very grateful for.

My stay at the project was a beautiful experience. The animals were all lovely to me, the nature surronding the place is calming and relaxing and Miranka is a wonderful host. She made sure I was always okay and looked after me in every moment. The food we ate was almost interely composed by the products of the garden and by the milk and eggs from the farm, giving a unique culinary experience. I had a lot of free time to focus on myself but Miranka was always happy to have some deep conversations about life or watch a movie together. I will remember this experience forever!

It was great to get to know Miranka and Vincent in a very quiet and secluded environment. I had a lot of fun with other volunteers and got new insights into everyday Portuguese life.

The project is a truly cozy and inviting farm. My time there was wonderful, thanks to Vincent and Miranka, who are always ready to lend a hand with anything needed. Their warmth and kindness make you feel right at home. It's the perfect place to relax, reflect, and connect with both nature and the animals. I had the chance to learn and develop new skills in a peaceful, inspiring environment. It's a beautiful farm, well worth experiencing for anyone seeking a meaningful getaway.
