I can recommend to evryone:)) The hosts are very nice and the place is amazing! You will stay in a beautiful wooden house and you will have an electric bike with which you can go anywhere (for example Nazarè). If you like being immersed in nature in peace this is the right place for you!

Very nice and kind hosts, beautiful place and accommodation. Definitely recommend if you like to spend calm and relaxed time. The only thing you need to know is there is no bus to go to Nazare. So if you want to go to Nazare you need to take uber or bolt. But you can also get a ride when your host go to Nazare:) Thank you so much for giving me the chance to stay the community and I deeply appreciate your kindness🙏

Me gusto mucho este voluntariado! Giane y Wagner son muy buenas personas atentas y coordiales. Me prestaron una casita de mader muy linda y bien preparada. Ayude en la preparacion para la pintura de una de las casitas de madera, e hice un poco de jardineria. La verdad disfrute mucho, pude recorrer ciudades aledañas y me senti muy comodo en la comunidad. Volveria sin dudarlo! Frederico e um cara muito legal 🤙🤙 De acuerdo..?! 😆

O casal é encantador! Recebem os voluntarios numa casinha de madeira linda e muito acolhedora! Os voluntários podem praticar yoga num espaço magnífico e cheio de the community! Com respeito ao trabalho desempenhado - manutenção de jardins e de espaços exteriores, foi interessante porque qualquer um sente que está a fazer algo para que o espaço fique ainda mais bonito! O casal também nos empresta bicicletas para passeios e também nos levou a passear num domingo em familia! Um especial agradecimento a Wagner por todos os ensinamentos ao longo deste tempo! É um verdadeiro maestro, uma luz!
