.... Volunteering in a Renovation project ....

Looking for healthy single or couple who enjoy a physically active lifestyle to volunteer long term or for a minimum of one month.

We are a small Co Living Community near the Spa Town of Monchique in the Algarve mountains.

You would enjoy a stunning location, a rustic self contained spacious attic with kitchenette for self catering .... and the use of hot and cold showers in the garden, plus a laundry machine in the mainhouse.

You can enjoy pure mountain spring water, dip in the plunge pool, sauna, vegetable garden and hiking trails up into the mountains.

Only 1km from the town of Monchique with a supermarket, a local weekly market and a selection of cafes.

This is a drug and alcohol free environment.

We would love some help with a variety of building and renovation projects, requiring any of these skills; carpentry, construction skills, stone work and plastering. A desire to learn more skills and an open mind welcome....

You would work for 15 hours per week and are welcome to join our weekly community meeting and gatherings.

There may be a occasional paid work available locally.

Please only contact us if this feels like a good fit:
* You are ready to start by mid September 2025.
* You would love to live in the Monchique Mountains of Portugal.
* You feel 15 hours work per week is easily attainable.

I’m grateful to the suffragettes who, in the 1880’s bravely campaigned for women’s rights which gives me the freedom
I have today

🦋we call this Abundance room.

We like to fill our rooms with unique character and charm. They should be cosy but not crammed.
Your cocoon is ready, are you ?

🌿✨ Is the slow life the secret to true happiness? ✨🌿

There’s something magical about slowing down and reconnecting with the rhythm of the land. 🌱 Out here, in the countryside, life feels simple but full. From growing our own food, to taking time to be truly present with each other, it’s a reminder that the best things in life aren’t things at all. It’s about genuine connections, deep self-reflection, and living sustainably.

2025 what’s one small change you can make today to start living more intentionally, let me know below 👇

Why I love this time of year 🍂🕯️✨🎄🦡

The huge oak moon – the last one of 2024 – reminds me to slow down and embrace the season. By 5 PM, I’m inside, lighting the fire, putting the kettle on, and slipping into my coziest clothes. It’s that perfect time to shift into winter rhythm.

This season is all about bracing hikes, blood-red sunsets, cozy movie nights with the community, and gathering around the table to craft and create.

The decorations are up, and the guest list for Christmas lunch is growing. Our little feral family is a beautiful blend of 6 nationalities, each bringing something special to the table. 🌍 🍽️🔥🥂

Wishing you all warmth, love, and joy this season.🕯️

With love,
Kate

🌱From dream to reality: Our veggie garden journey 🌱

We made our very own veggi garden from scratch a can’t wait to show you how ! 💜

✨For years , I’ve dreamed of having a thriving vegetable garden to grow my own food. I believe the veggi garden is the heart of a community- mourning both the soul and the stomach. This September that dream came to life. We transformed an overgrown, bramble-covered terrace into a beautiful space, preparing 5 raised beds and building new compost bins.
The hard work is done, we are excited to plant our first crops in October. 🥕🧅🥬

Come and join us. Open for new residents from mid November. 🏡

🌞 Summer vibes at home 🌿

Lazy afternoons staying cool inside the thick stone walls. Getting fresh in the mountain water pool 💦

Enjoying the long evenings bathed in golden light 🌅

And every time I drive up the mountain from the coast I’m so grateful to come home to our lush green Oasis 🌳 💕 ✨ ⛰️

Where is your favourite place to spend summer ? Let me know ⤵️

Harvesting figs from our trees, to make compote so they can be enjoyed all winter. Added to warm porridge, or fresh goat cheese from our local friends. I love them with creamy yogurt.
