A very nice experience at Casa de Moinho. The hosts were immediately welcoming, sharing their space and home (including home cooked food that was plentiful, delicious and made with care). The work expectations were reasonable and clearly defined. The animals were calm and friendly ( a tribute to the caretakers). Many opportunities for learning including farming techniques, and vineyard care, all in a really beautiful part of the county! Thank you Pascale and Jean Louis, for a great wwoof experience and all your hospitality!

Mata House was a wonderful experience. I am beyond grateful for everything I’ve learned and everyone I met. I can honestly say that I’ve never been in an environment so welcoming and accepting. The work was enjoyable and diverse. Everything that is offered at Mata house is offered with the idea of “only if you’re comfortable”. Even if this is a new experience, you will be able to try what you’re interested in and you will feel no judgement if you decide not to participate in something. This was an unforgettable experience for me and I’m so grateful to Nimrod for creating this environment and the other volunteers I got to know. Thank you! ♡

I can only but agree with Melissa, Mathias and Simona who were my co-WWOOFERS for some weeks. I am very glad to have made my very first WWOOF experience at O Lugar do Arjuna. I also had the “honor” of being the last WWOOFER of the year 2025 before the winter closing. I enjoyed those last November days although the chilly weather, cold nights and rainy days were not easy since it was not possible to work outside. However, Arjuna managed to keep us occupied when we had to stay inside most of the day. O Lugar do Arjuna was my very first WWOOF experience, and I couldn’t have wished for a better place. The regular working hours helped me to find me a day structure. Likewise, the regular meal hours were always something to look forward to. Especially, since our host prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us on most days. This was not only a treat because of Arjuna’s fantastic cooking, but also because it is by far self-evident that a host cooks for his WWOOFERS. I am ever so glad to have made the experience of working outside (most of the time), of hard work (sometimes), of spending time in the vegetable garden and picking olives. I believe that it was over all the daily meditation and yoga that kept me going through the days. Can you wish for more than a host that gives you meaningful work to do, prepares delicious meals, meditates and does yoga together with you? I sincerely think that Arjuna should be nominated as the host of the year!

Superbe séjour au sein d’une famille dynamique et motivée pour concrétiser un beau projet de vie. Dans cette quinta, les jours sont ponctués de réalisations concrètes, de repas partagés et de rires communicatifs; le tout dans un cadre exceptionnel….J’y retournerai avec un immense plaisir.

Working with Anni and Miguel at Quinta Shiva was a truly remarkable experience. Guidance, support and level or organization were excellent. It was also a great opportunity to learn, practice, and ask questions about permaculture and rural life. Overall it was an exciting, enjoyable, and enriching experience. I definitely endorse their project with the highest possible degree of recommendation.
