Hello, we are Barbara and Tiago, we are finally starting our project, a 14 hectares where we aim to have a sustainable life. Our dream started 4 years ago while working in Africa, since then we have been looking at ways to make this dream a reality. We are currently building our house and an ecotourism business, an organic farm and gardens. At the moment we have running water, hot shower and power, we have a large camp kitchen and a garden strarting to grow. We have planted many fruit trees, still planting more. Let us know if you are physically strong, curious and want to be part of this project by joining us to work on building, upkeep of the veggie gardens and food forest, land clearing, pruning, planting, mulching, animal care and other projects that come up each moment to manage the farm part and the getting ready as soon as possible. we are now starting to build our house in Taipa and looking for help in eco building for spriing and summer 2024. We work 5 hours a day. We will provide food for all meals a day.

Notre séjour chez Barbara et Tiago s'est merveilleusement bien passé. Nous avons été très bien accueillis dans un cadre agréable ! Nous avons travaillés 5 heures par jour, les horraires étaient flexibles ce qui nous a permit de profiter du temps libre. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les échanges et les bons repas préparés par Barbara et Tiago. Au plaisir de se revoir un jour !

Nous étions un groupe de 4 woofeurs chez Barbara et Tiago, nous avons été super bien accueillis ! Ils sont chaleureux et aiment partager leur mode de vie et bon plans. La nourriture est excellente et le lieu est magnifique. Nous avons travaillé les matinées et a des horaires flexibles ce qui nous a permis de profiter des alentours et des supers plages ! Merci encore pour tout ! On espère pouvoir revenir un de ces jours :)

Our time at Monte Rossina was a really unique experience and a completely different pace of life! From our first day, Barbara was always so warm and open; since it’s a passion project, she was really open to hearing our ideas and growing our knowledge together. Our whole experience was incredibly social, we really felt included in Barbara and Tiago’s day to day life and welcomed by their family and everyone we crossed paths with along the way!

I spent just over 2 weeks at Monte Rossina and by the end I did not want to leave. Barabara and her lovely family are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They opened up their home to me and allowed me to have a very authentic unique cultural experience. Barabara and Tiago are absolutely incredible in the kitchen so I ate very well my entire stay. I had a comfortable sleeping arrangement, good wifi and I felt extremely well looked after. They have a beautiful property and have exciting projects lined up. I feel very grateful to have had this experience. I will with out a doubt be back to help again and would 100% recommend to anyone.

Clémence and I spent 2 weeks with Barbara and her family in Monte Rossina. It was our first experience as "woofer" and we don't regret it, it was an amazing adventure. Everyone was very nice and kind. We spent such unforgettable moments with them, it's like a second family for us now. We hope to have the chance to come back and volunteer there ! Thank you for everything.

Barbara and Tiago are beautiful, warm hearted and welcoming people. They will accept you into their world and you will meet friends and family around the kitchen table with many tails to tell. They are both passionate about the environment and are building a very special place at Monte Rossina. The food and accommodation were very good and there is plenty of work to do to move the project on. All facilities were excellent and the WiFi was fast and reliable. My own experience was a very special one and i would certainly return for more.
