I spent a bit over a month at the organization and I can 100% recommend volunteering there. The place is truly special hidden in the hills near aljezur, completely immersed in nature. I volunteered in the building team and helped produce adobe bricks for 1 month as a preparation for a natural building course in which I also participated. For me it was really the perfect fit, I learned a lot and made amazing memories whilst living in the community. Mario and Joana created a beautiful home for their family and the volunteers who stay there. I hope I get to be back someday! Thanks for everything!

I had an amazing time in Quinta the organization. I will be always grateful to all the team for the love and energy that allowed us to create a beautiful atmosphere. The place is like heaven and Mario, Johana and Javi are very kind. The only thing I have to say is about the meals, we didn't have a "proper" dinner. We had access to the lunch leftovers but sometimes it wasn't enough for everybody so we had to buy food at supermarket. Thank you Quinta <3

Martina, it was a real pleasure to have you with us and your presence was very inspiring! Thank you for that and for your feedback, that allows us to clarify a couple of things.
You comment regarding the food comes a but surprising, mainly because you were mostly helping in the cooking team and in charge of bringing the ingredients for the others to have dinner in the small kitchen. As you know, our community provides ingredients for 3 balanced simple meals per day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. We cook lunch for everyone and we do our best to provide the basic ingredients for everyone to cook a balanced nutricional but simple breakfast and dinner. We dont offer everything that everyone would want according to their own personal tastes. We have a clear understanding of what is a proper meal and anything that anyone might want to add, they are invited to bring. Again, we offer a balanced, nutricional and simple diet. We understand the feeling of a great lunch when we are preparing it and that people might feel very happy with this food, then lacking behind at dinner when they are the ones that are invited to cook for themselves.

An amazing experience in a magic place in the nature. I've meet a lot of kind people. Mario and Joana are so courteous. We was around fifteen volunteers and we had incredible moments. I loved the energy of this experience

Quinta the organization is a beautiful place to connect with yourself, nature and other travellers. The tasks are clearly outlined and everyone is willing to assist you when needed. I felt comfortable and welcomed during my stay. The beaches around the farm (not walking distance) are also really beautiful. The overall energy of Quinta the organization is uplifting and relaxed.

Quinta the organization is in a beautiful area in nature and it was amazing for meeting people from around the world. The hosts were welcoming & kind. There was some tension with some volunteers due to communication issues from both sides. The work depends on your team, I loved working in the kitchen & the roomcare team was also good but the hours were more variable. Getting around could be a challenge when you couldn't get a lift, but it's part of the experience and I was never bored. Overall, I had a good time here exploring the area with beautiful people. Thank you Quinta 🫶

If you are interested in learning about permaculture and disconnecting on a beautiful farm for however long, I highly recommend this experience. It was a great way to be in nature and meet beautiful people from all over the world. However it is worth noting that it is extremely difficult to leave the farm and travel to the beach or other places, and the hosts don't offer much help in this aspect, so sometimes I felt stuck on the farm. If you have a car, this is not a problem. It is up to the volunteers mostly to organize events, go places and create a community.

Dear Kady,
Thank you for your feedback! It is also worth mentioning that there are several people with cars, from the hosts and team leaders. Between us, we are always coming and going to Aljezur and it is true that comes from the volunteers to ask for a lift to town or to the beach. Having said this, we are improving our internal communication tools to make car pooling more efficient and better communicated inside the community. Thanks again!

Mi experiencia en Quinta la organización superó mis expectativas. Disfruté de conectar con personas muy buenas de distintas partes del mundo, explorar la granja y sus alrededores, y también aprender muchos tips en la cocina. Recomiendo esta experiencia muchísimo.
