The Experience

Estamos a 4 kms fora da aldeia Budens e está muito perto na praias Boca do Rio e Salema. Vivemos numa natureza forte e omnipresente. O ser humano faz parte de tudo. Tentamos conservar os habitats por animals, pássaros , insetos e plantas típicas ( orquídeas silvestres). Quem procura a civilização duma cidade- não existe aqui. Temos um regime de utilizar agua duas vezes , sem química . A horta está 100% biológica Beleza!

I had a great time. The work was as agreed upon and the hostess was kind. I learned about sustainability and dogcare. The dogs are incredible and I connected with locals. The Quinta was right next to the beach which was also very nice. We had bikes provided for getting around and plenty of food. I would recommend :)! Thank you hostess Therese!
