I want to say a big thank you to Ana for this experience! I was able to help at Ana's guest houses, help to restore a forest that had been burned by a fire, and care for Ana's lovely cats and dogs (and they gave me lots of love in return). The work was straightforward and simple to do. Ana helped me learn some Portuguese too. In my free time she took me on explorations and I hiked around the area almost every day. I would highly recommend this to anyone! Ana is truly an amazing and loving person. I am so thankful I was able to spend my time with her.

Minha experiência na the home foi inesquecível. O cuidado e dedicação que a anfitriã dona Ana tem com a natureza, animais e com as outras pessoas é admirável. Agradeço aos demais membros da equipe (Catarina e Laurinda) pela maneira gentil como me receberam. A aldeia toda é muito bonita e recomendo a todos que queiram visitar Portugal a conhecer Seia e as the home. Forte Abraço!! De: Jackson My experience at the home was unforgettable. The care and dedication that hostess Ana has for nature, animals, and other people is admirable. I recommend to everyone.

We had the privilege of welcoming Valentina as a volunteer at Casas da Ribeira, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She proved to be an exceptional person from day one — always available, dedicated, and radiating a calm and positive energy. She’s trustworthy, empathetic, and a true team player. We would wholeheartedly recommend Valentina to any project that values kindness, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Thank you for everything, Valentina! This is your home too!
