Alderia is such a special hostel with an incredible vibe. I met so many amazing people there, made friends, and shared lots of great moments. The owners and the manager, Pauli, were super kind and welcoming from the very beginning. I also really enjoyed Sagres - the energy of the town is great, surrounded by stunning nature and beautiful beaches.

My time in Aldeia and Sagres was great. It's a perfect place to recharge and enjoy nature and the ocean, not to mention a really good spot to learn how to surf. With the ocean all around, it truly felt like being at the end of the world. The people are incredibly welcoming and warm and always making sure that everything is alright. The hostel is super beautiful and has a lot of chilling areas where you can hang out with people or just relax. The working hours are always well respected and the work itself is manageable, especially the breakfast shift. A big thank you to you all:))

I had such an amazing time at Aldeia! The hosts are super chill and respectful. My stay was more in low season so work was really chilled. Hostel is super pretty and close to the beaches and supermarket/cafes.

I had an amazing time at Aldeia! It was my first solo traveling experience and still I quickly felt at home in the hostel. The atmosphere is very comfortable & cozy, the team very nice & chill and you feel a part of a community while connecting with everybody there. Sagres is such a beautiful place with beautiful beaches and nature. I enjoyed the more calm atmosphere of the off-season, as I came in February. When it comes to the work, the house maintenance was easy to do and not much because of the off-season. I could make great memories and meet amazing people. Thank you so much<3

I had a great time in Aldeia & felt like part of a community. The housekeeping shift was easy, especially when it's done with 2 people. The schedule was always respected and someone is always willing to help if needed. The volunteer team felt like family and was filled with positive energy. In Aldeia we shared amazing brazilian food, thanks to Lua ;) The whole team is super chill & I made valuable memories! I enjoyed my time outside at the ocean equally as inside the house. Obrigados everybody for making me feel at home the past weeks <3
