Our stay was very enriching. We learned about gardening, Portuguese cuisine, practiced languages, met local people, and learned about Portuguese and French history and traditions.

Val and Valter are very friendly people; they welcome you into their home and invite you to experience their daily life and new adventures.

We love Val's food—delicious recipes with a great variety. We are very grateful for the experience and the beautiful sunsets.

A very peaceful place, surrounded by nature, and disconnected from the city.

Muy tranquila y relajada. Gracias a Valter y Valery que fueron muy atentos, hospitalarios y no me dejaron faltar nada. Se trabajo en bases a proyectos que tenian estipulados en los cuales fui incluido, eso me motivo para involucrarme y también aplicar algunos conocimientos sobre todo en la cocina jaja
Mas que agradecer no me queda!
