Pizza Night Algarve

The place to be for party two stage many bench to stay ... Not a place to take children

Great place, with great people. A must visit in the Algarves!!

Absolutely great time, the vibes are getting better all the time. Great music, relaxed but party atmosphere full of generally friendly people

"Flinstones of the new age" - Great party's of techno and trance in open space in the middle of the mountains. Two dance floors between the trees and the bar's building with wood

45euros which includes,pizza, and a wet, muddy field to park our van with 2peoeple. We had to pay for membership and then find out that that was the last party. Abit sneaky

This review is for volunteering/workaway at the Pizza Night place. I stayed 6 days and while I did have enjoyable times and have my basic needs (mostly) covered, I am still left in shock at how this business operates. I write this as a warning to people coming to this place as it is falsely advertised (permaculture farm working toward self sustainable). They call it a community or a workaway. In reality it's a for-profit business model by taking advantage of and mistreating volunteers. The work: They say it's 25hr/week, but this does not include 1-3 meetings per day, and extra shifts during the Weds burger night party and Friday pizza party. In reality the time exchange is closer to 40 hours. They are tricky in the way they make people feel guilty for speaking up about the extra hours. The food: Volunteers are served bread for breakfast and dry cereal without milk, plus some chopped apple. For lunch it is pasta with plain red sauce, the side salad was the same for lunch and dinner all days I was there. While I was there many volunteers got sick and we asked for some vegetables for the meals and were screamed at for asking. The accommodations: If you have a tent you are in a small area they call the "covid area" with your tent a meter from the next tent. Others are housed in old caravans with missing windows or trashed. Cold showers. Mistreatment: In my 6 days we ran out of drinking water twice for 6 hours each. Management did not feel that volunteers working in the hot sun needing water was priority and were shamed for asking for water. We were out of toilet paper approx half of the time. Morning meetings began before sun up and were often quite dark and harsh in their tone. For the Friday pizza party, it was needed to have a few volunteers work 10 hours in order to keep bars open later for more profits. Instead of offering a nice incentive they just made people feel guilty until a few passive people volunteered for extra working. Also, on the Friday morning we had a volunteer test positive for covid. He then isolated but the party went on as normal. This felt not great for the surrounding community. Looking back I do find it quite hilarious that this business model actually works for 8 years going. I don't feel traumatized but more confused.

If you want to go here to have a party, go for it, just don't think this place is a safe place to party and connect with people. Don't volunteer if you want a good experience, these guys don't know left from right and left their brains somewhere in the LSD trip they took in the 80's. This is not permaculture, this is not a community, this place is a business so keep that in mind.

Fun place to go for a party night. Feels more like a small festival than a party. If you want some pizza don't come to late. Usually a laid back atmosphere and different styles of music.
