  Beschreibung

  Hey! Come and join us at our new place in the heart of Portugal, right by the peaceful Dão River. We’ve just bought an old Quinta and want to turn it into a cozy family home and a meeting spot for nice people. We are a three-generation family, living and working together here. It’s calm and rural here, off-grid, close to nature, and perfect if you want to escape the noise and enjoy simple living. We love working together, sharing tasks, having fun, and growing as a family. If you’re an allrounder who likes to get your hands dirty and be part of a project from the very start, you’re very welcome here!

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Travellers will benefit by experiencing a simple, sustainable life close to nature and family. They can learn practical skills like eco-friendly gardening, DIY projects, and how to live off-grid with a family.
  
  At the same time, we want to learn from their culture, ideas, and experiences. This exchange helps us all grow, understand different ways of living, and build strong connections.
  
  Being part of our daily life means sharing time with all generations — from our little child to our grandad — and seeing how family life and nature can work together, how you can build up a quinta and life in portugal..

  Arbeit

  We’re happy to welcome kind and open-minded people to join us and be part of our little adventure. We are a three-generation family of handy, creative people who love working with our hands and enjoying family life. There’s always something happening here, so it never gets boring! We’re excited to see what skills and ideas you bring, and we look forward to learning together.
  
  We usually find that couples or families who enjoy a bit of independence and managing their own tasks fit well here. But a single person who is motivated and organized would also feel at home with us.
  
  Our Quinta is still quite new to us, and there’s plenty to do. We try to keep things flexible, so you can enjoy your stay while helping out. We are happy to share our knowledge about permaculture and no-dig vegetable gardening, and we’d love to exchange ideas and learn together.
  
  Tasks could include gardening, cutting trees, strimming, mowing, weeding, taking care of the river and old stone walls, cooking for the family, general house maintenance, DIY projects on the land, creative projects, spending time with the grandfather, helping with our baby, or walking the dog. There really is something for everyone! Of course, not everyone likes to do everything — and that’s totally fine. If you enjoy family life and love a variety of tasks, you will feel at home here. Just tell us what you enjoy doing, and we will find the right project for you. It’s a great place to grow, learn, and have fun together!

  Unterkunft

  We offer cozy wooden huts surrounded by nature. Each hut has a comfortable double bed, WiFi, a private porch with seating, and basic electricity and cooking facilities. There is a shared shower and toilet block located right by the river.
  
  You’ll also find a community space with electricity for general use.
  
  Feel free to explore the old buildings nearby, like the old mill. You can relax at our private river beach, and after a refreshing swim in the Dão River, it’s a perfect place to enjoy the calm and quiet of nature.
  
  There is plenty to do here — from hiking and water activities to simply soaking in the beautiful countryside.

  Was noch ...

  A warm vegetarian lunch is included on work days and we eat together. We also provide basic breakfast supplies for volunteers. Often, we have big family meals, and on other evenings volunteers get a small budget for dinner, plus fresh vegetables from the garden (depending on the season).
  
  Please note, a car is very important to reach the Quinta — we are in a quiet, off-grid place. The closest town, Viseu, is about 20 minutes by car, and Porto Airport is about 1 hour 40 minutes away by car. The last 2 km to the Quinta is a rough road, perfect for experienced drivers who enjoy a bit of adventure on the way here!
  
  If you don’t have a car, it will be harder to get here, but it can still work with some planning. There is a small shop like a mini market in the next village.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Sure, we can host digital nomads. There is WiFi available here. It is not everywhere on the land, but it is strong near the houses, so you can work without problems. It is a wonderful place to balance work and nature.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  Sure, we can host Workawayers traveling in campervans. You can park your home on a private terrace next to the river. We also traveled as Workawayers in a van before and loved the experience, so we’re happy to welcome you here!

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  We can talk about bringing your doggo with you to see if it’s a good fit. We have chickens, a dog, and maybe goats in the future, so it’s important to think about how your pet would get along with them.
