My time at the farm is something I'll never forget. Coming from the hustle of London, it was such a gift to slow down and enjoy nature, surrounded by the sweetest dogs and animals. Joanna and Gio were incredibly welcoming—I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. I ended up leaving a bit earlier than planned, but Jo handled it all with so much kindness and understanding. Thank you Jo, Gio and Ara for everything💚

Joane & Geo were friendly hosts and we got on well. The work was mostly outdoors, hedge cutting, weeding, painting etc. The property is lovely and our accommodation was perfect. Geo cooked us some very tasty Italian food . They have a beautiful baby daughter and the dogs and cat were absolutely gorgeous . I loved the young goat also beloved his ear scratches! We were allowed use the pool also when there's was no guests. Unfortunately we had to leave after nearly 3 of our 5 weeks due to unforseen circumstances. Wishing them well for future world packers!

I had a very transformative time at the farm. The place is beautiful and perfect to get some detox from city and enjoy nature. The work was fun and Joana tried her best to make me feel comfortable. Since Cabeço de Vide is pretty much on the countryside a drivers license is recommended to be able to explore the surrounding areas. I took a lot of beautiful memories and ispiratipn with me. I will be happy to return to the farm and see the grown baby Kamilla :)

Joanna and Gio were great hosts who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They were more than willing to cater to my dietary requirements and get whatever I liked to eat for my meals. The tasks were pretty simple mainly caring for the animals, a bit of cleaning in the kitchen and working in the B&B. The animals are so friendly and love their cuddles! I had such a great time and would visit again if the opportunity arose.
