The Experience
I own a specialized company in university housing management operating in Erasmus students accomodations in the center of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I'm looking for volunteers for basic cleaning and house maintenance who will have the opportunity to live the Coimbra's Erasmus Experience, with university students from all over Europe. I provide accomodation.

Coimbra is a nice University town, the guest house students were very nice and we all lived together as roommates and everything went pretty good in the house! The work consisted in cleaning the apartments that are situated at about 20min walk and also your own apartment and the one aside it. I could plan ahead on which days I would do the cleaning and sometimes there are little things that you must help with (like helping fixing a sink or checking if the apartment is okay after a stormy night, nothing too difficult). Pedro is a very nice person, thank you truly🥰

A great first volunteer experience! Coimbra is a beautiful city and is easily accessible to explore the rest of Portugal. Pedro was encouraging to travel as much as we could during the experience. I truly enjoyed meeting the other volunteers and spending time around the city.

This was my first volunteer experience, and I ended up only staying for 2 nights in Coimbra because the host (Pedro) needed someone in his other place, Alicante, last minute. So the place is really nice, It's really comfortable and you have your own private place. The girls who were also there were very nice and welcoming. The work was cleaning in other places, I think it was only 2-3 hours (cleaning the kitchen, a living room and two bathrooms).As far as I saw Coimbra is a really friendly place, there is live music in the evening, really friendly people.

Wasn't what I expected at first, we were the first volunteers there so it takes time to set everything perfectly but Pedro is very nice and the house is super cozy. Coimbra is definitely a gorgeous city where you'll have the best time ! And you'll come back super fit, trust me, with all those pretty hills :) Nice first experience for me !
