The experience

My name is Werner, and I live here with my Brazilian wife. We run a small pousada with two Apartments. We would be delighted to have your help in preparing and serving breakfast, cleaning the rooms, and, if you’re interested, gardening.
Our garden is quite large, about 2000 square meters, and more like a jungle filled with flowers than a traditional garden. It is home to many animals. including little monkeys, a parrot, hummingbirds, and others.
