The Guesthouse
Stonehouse from 1933
Before I became mother I worked for the IFS in
Austria and accompanied teenagers who
struggeled hard in their life on a 10 week
project to Rumania. This experience was very
profound for the teenagers, but also for me.
Being a mom I could not do this work anymore,
but offer my land in Portugal for these projects
to take place here.
1-3: So this terrasse was created. We called it
“The Camp”. It was avery simple place with
wooden huts, caravans and composting toilet.
We built it together with the teenagera and
their supervisors. Also thanks to my brother
who supported us with builing the huts!
We had the pleasure to host many teenagers
from Austria and also Germany. I loved the way,
these young people found selflove and
positivity again.
But as it happens too often, these wonderful
projects stopped, because of the lack of
money…
4: In 2017 a forrestfire hit our land and also
burned down our Camp. It took us quite a while
to restart on our land after this shocking
experience.
5: In 2021 my husband built “Casa do Corvo”
for me to work as a healer again and in summer
2023 we had the idea to revive the former
camp.
6-8: So we are busy now with building an
outdoorkitchen and the composting toilet.
When this is done, we will start our wiking
huts.
