The Experience

We run a small glamping place on 6 hect of coastal land. We need help running the place ( mainly household chores in summer and some odd DIY jobs and gardening). We are off-grid so expect a simple lifestyle. Hoever this is on a stunning piece of land directly in the coast. We share our life with 4 dogs, 5 cats and 11 chickens. The nearest village is a 3 km hike up the hill. Beach is a 30 min. walk.

Me& my friend had a wonderful time with Nuno&Suze (&lovely pets)! They were always kind& helpful& made us feel at home in the small caravan that we lived in. The location was fantastic, with the most amazing cliffs right at our doorstep. It was in general wonderful nature all around and Suze&Nuno always recommended us where it was best to go&what to enjoy. As for work, we cleaned their Airbnb caravans, did some weeding and other very manageable jobs! Side note: Suze is a wonderful cook and made the most delicious lunches for us all to enjoy together. Absolutely amazing experience! Obrigada! 🫶🏼

It was a truly beautiful experience. I received a very warm welcome, we had great lunches cooked by Suze and nice conversations with Nuno, and got some sweet cuddles from the animals residing there. A few hours in the morning was doable and after that we had the rest of the day to ourselves. The glamping place being located right next to the cliffs also made it to one of my favourite places in the world. Obrigada!

This was my boyfriend and I's first worldpacker's experience and it was so wonderful! It was everything we were hoping for. Working for a few hours in the morning, enjoy lunch together, then we would spend our afternoons at the beach. It was truly beautiful there and all the animals were amazing. Nuno and Suze are lovely hosts, we are going to miss our time on the farm dearly, but are so happy with the experience. ☺️💛🐕

My experience in the farm was one of the best experience of my life. Nuno and Suze were absolutely amazing. The environment was incredible, we lived with adorable dogs, cats and chickens. We enjoyed the beach and the sunset. This experience has enabled me to learn more about myself and simply live.

My experience here was soooo Nice. Nuno and Suze are lovely hosts. The place is so beautiful and amazing. The work is great and there are many different tasks to do, it was really interesting. You are surrounded by cute puppies, nature and calm. I learnt so many things about myself here. I would recommend it to everyone who likes the nature and wildlife. I would have stayed longer. I will miss everyone so much. Thank you 🩷
