This was a dream first volunteer experience! The team are so wonderful, Grassi was such a wonderful person to work alongside, Francisco and Claudia are excellent hosts. The hostel is so beautiful and feels so cosy and homely. Chilling in the garden, cooking meals together and a lovely comfortable volunteer space were some of the highlights! Free surf lessons and yoga classes - plus boards to use anytime was amazing to have. I would 100% recommend this experience for a balance of socialising and chilling and getting to know the beautiful town of Ericeira. Can't wait to come back already!

I had such a great time at Olive3 :) I felt at home from the very first day — the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the whole team is super kind and helpful. I really enjoyed the variety in tasks and the rotating shifts – the working hours were always respected. One of my highlights was the beautiful garden and the opportunity to borrow surfboards. I'd love to come back. Muito obrigada! :)

I had the best two month ever in Ericeira in the beautiful Olive3! I always loved my shifts! They are different everyday, so this is diversified. :) The Guests are super chill and relaxed, it's rather a guesthouse than a hostel. The volunteers were amazing, I also loved the Vinyasa Yoga and the Surf of course. Surf is not easy to manage with the surfschool, that was frustrating sometimes, but it's not the fault of the Hostel. :) Breakfast was included and it was the best!! So thanks for everything, I learned a lot, and I'm looking forward to volunteer here again. :)
