Volunteering with Ana was wonderful; she treated me like a family member and was always concerned about my well-being. Even before going to Portugal, she gave me good guidance and support to make sure I arrived safely. Atthe eco village, I found a beautiful project that I feel lucky to have been part of, and it saddens me to leave. Ravi, Ana's son, is a very lively and smart child who taught me much more than I could teach him. My experience was very positive and contributed greatly to my personal growth. I'll come back as soon as possible.

Unique opportunity to experience a different perspective on life, focus on regeneration of the land. Amazing, loving and caring host and beautiful accommodations. Would have been so much better if I had a car to explore other small vilas around.

I stayed working in the eco village for 10 days. I found this place very calm, full of nature and great vibes. Ana made me feel like home and gave me great opportunity to feel real spirit of Alentejo and Castel de vide. the eco village is amazing project connecting nature, art and social life. The responsibilities were clearly said, so I had a daily tasks to do, and some extra one, each day. I was working a little bit at home, at the land, as well as helping with some little constructions work. I found the eco village also as a magic place, where is possible to focus and discover yourself.
