Program Details

If you love the ocean, this corner of Portugal is a huge adventure playground. If you also love good company in a relaxed yet sociable guest house this is the right place! :)

Close enough to the buzzing tourist hotspot Lagos, but far enough to enjoy the relaxed vibe of nature. Excellent kite, surf and SUP spots in all directions.

Oh, did we already mention the laid-back little beach and the super scenic walks along the cliffs…? :)

Activities & Shift

Don't worry. We will plan the week in advance :)

Most part of the days you will be able to make your own schedule a sail across the day at your own speed, prioritizing what is the best for you, unless there's some sort of emergency that needs to be handled. Like, save Ozzy from the Fig tree.

There will be days that we will work as a team and set up clear missions for the day/week but most days you will work independently and do your thing. Take it as it comes.

What you can expect as main activities:
- Gardening (take care of our garden, farm and field)
- Fixing things (ex.: change a bike tyre, replace lamps, fix a door, etc..)
- General House maintenance (Paint a door, fix a chair, etc)
- Painting, woodwork, building stuff (build a new bench out of pallets, paint decoration items, etc)
- Keep spaces tidy and clean
- Bring your own vision and soul to us

We expect to count on you 5 days a week, 5 hours a day.

Rules

You can break the rules, as long as you fix them afterwords :)
