Aldeia instantly felt like home ♥️ Good vibes, and the kind of people you just click with. The work was super chill and well organized.. nothing crazy. That said, the manager Poli and the owners, are amazing! ✨ Sagres is full of adventures and amazing places to see, don't get me started on the sunsets… 🌅 I left with a full heart but also left a piece of it there 🥹 Thank you guys (Manca, Silvia, Daniele, Natalia, Polinaaa, Amelie 🥰 ) for everything! 🫶🏻

Aldeia felt like a home away from home from day one. The staff is incredibly welcoming, the hostel is so beautiful, and Sagres is a cute, chill little town with everything you need: stunning beaches, hikes, surfing and other water activities are just a few minutes away! I tried both the housekeeping/breakfast shift and the reception and the job was really easy, the working hours are respected and everyone helps each other. The staff lives in a nice house 10 minutes from the hostel and right next to a supermarket, but you are encouraged to spend as much time as you want at the hostel!

Sadly, I just left, but I had a great time. Everyone was so open and welcoming. The work was fun, especially the breakfast shift, because it gave me the chance to interact with many people. After my afternoon shifts, I often grabbed a surfboard and went to the most beautiful beaches. Thank you so much for the amazing experience, Aldeia!

Thank you, Madelon! It was so good having you here, both for your help and your amazing spirit. Keep riding those waves and come back anytime! 🌊✨

I really enjoyed the time spent in the guest house! The 3 hosts and the manager Poli are really nice and respectful, always asking about problems and the needs of volunteers. I sleept in the van close to the hostel, where I had no problems (there is no electricity in the van, so you have to charge the phone/other things in the shack). The shifts are okay, not really stressful to do cleaning in two people. Volunteers can free rent boards and wetsuits (sometimes the wetsuit are not perfect) and have 30% or on surf classes. I suggest to rent a car. I really recommended the hostel!
