I have been on many farms and the most beautiful one is retiro no rio in the near of porto. i know, a lot wwoofers are just searching in the algerve (like i did). but so you really missing nice farms up here. and the weather is as beautiful as in the south.
this farm is quiet, no party but wonderful nature, directly on a river. its not a real farm, they rent apartments. you can use the pool, kajaks, kanoes, bikes, go hiking. and you only have to work for four hours a day - whenever you want. and you eat with the guests from the apartments - so its high-standard.
i think this is like the "luxury-version" of woofing.
and the dutch couple (they speak english) is very friendly and loveable.
so come over and help them in the garden, painting or picking olives.
I have to leave on monday...

Katharina is right, most Hosts in South are overbooked and usually it is much easier to find a place on Central and North Portugal.
