The Experience

We are a 55-year-old couple. We like to get along, meet people, relax, read, walk and travel. We need help with maintenance and garden, wood work, arrangements, and paintings. We also need help with some bike tours and sports activities. Plenty of work, so the time will fly and in your free time, you can enjoy the natural beauty of this stunning area, the wild beaches and the silence.

Ana and George received me from the first moment with open arms. Their hotel is their home and you can really feel that. You will be treated respectfully, warmly and will have no problem getting on with the daily tasks. If you like nature, reading time and biking, this is the place for you. Thank you Ana and George!

Oh Ponte Pedra! What an the hotel place. I have made memories to last a lifetime during this experience, the place is beautiful beyond belief and Ana and Jorge really are so special. The place itself is a credit to them both, they are the most welcoming, patient, genuine people and both have brilliant sense of humours. Ana is so so funny, I will really miss her. The work was always enjoyable for me, very varied and plenty to do so the time flies and equally plenty of free time to enjoy the calm atmosphere of the surroundings and the complex itself. Highly recommend, don't even hesitate, just go!

Ana and Jorge are the loveliest people I've ever met; everything in Ponte Pedra was the hotel, starting from the place: the turism is completely surrounded by the wonderful countryside and not far from it you can easily reach the beach by bike. But most of all I enjoyed the atmosphere: I felt like I was home and the people there make you feel like you're in a big family.
