Originally from Switzerland, we spent the last 25 years traveling the world from Africa, to South East Asia, to Europe and South America with our four children. We then decided to realize a long held dream and settle down here in Portugal on our farm amidst the olive trees, cork trees and sheep. ​ We have always loved to meet people from all walks of life, to host and to share the wonders around us. Now we have two houses that we rent for families, small groups and also for retreats. We speak German, French, English and Portuguese. ​ If this sounds appealing to you, we look forward to hear from you. ​ Andreas & Andrea
