Help with running and upkeeping our place in Portugal
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.

Program Details
We don’t start very early and work until late lunch time. We are pretty easy going.
Lunch we share together. In summer main duties are cleaning accommodation, laundry and sometimes helping out with cooking. And there are always odd jobs around like painting and basic stuff on the land etc.
In winter we occasionally have room for help with DIY & maintenance.
Activities & Shift
helping hours are 09.30 until 13.30 /14.00. 2days off a week.
We can only accept 2 volunteers at one time.
We provide simple breakfast and a simple / easy dinner that you make yourself with basic stuff that we provide. We provide a nicely cooked hot communal lunch as is the custom in Portugal: the main meal is at lunch time.

Must like big dogs and not mind spiders or any other insects > this is the campo after all 🙃
As we are off grid, water is precious. This means that we expect you to be careful with water and not shower for long periods.
