We have been hosting guests for over 10 years, mainly people who have just moved to Portugal and need a place to land and settle in.

My husband and I are both self-employed—he works with biological technology and effective microorganisms, while I’m a wedding celebrant, planner, and therapist. In between, we enjoy a bit of homesteading and tending to our space. Our 17-year-old daughter also lives here.

We love meeting new people and sharing our experience of living in beautiful Portugal. If you’re looking for a welcoming place to stay for a few months, we’d be happy to host you!

We're passionate homesteaders at heart and have done (or are still doing) many of the things homesteaders do—making soap, gardening, fermenting veggies, drying herbs for tea, cooking (mostly vegetarian), homeschooling, and more. These days, we have to juggle other responsibilities as well, so homesteading has become more of a hobby.

My husband’s main passion is gardening and a healthy lifestyle, while mine leans more toward alternative therapies and the mind-body connection, such as psychosomatic approaches.

When we relax, we enjoy meditating, going for walks, sitting by the campfire, or checking out local events. In the summer, you’ll often find us at festivals, both for fun and work.

My husband loves to draw and paint, and I enjoy singing and playing the guitar (a little).
