Maritxu

My house is a very old house, it does not look sexy but many people, when they get in, feel something special...it is special, a 600 years old soul can only be special. I am 16 min from Biarritz airport, 10 min from the train station, 10 min from the ocean, with some of the best places to surf in Europe!! 1h away from the first ski resort in the Pyrenees, 30 min from the spanish border.

I will do all I can so that the volunteer will enjoy to stay here. I've been travelling myself quite a lot, I speak 4 languages fluently, 2 others on the learning curve. There is always an experience to share.

I had a great two weeks in the Basque Country staying at Maritxu's house.
The work and work hours were exactly as agreed upon, and the breakfast and lunch was yummy and wholesome - local and in season.
After work and in the weekends I could use the bike to see many different places around the area, and otherwise I could chill at home and/or enjoy Maritxu's company. She has lots of interesting things to tell and is very kind. She made sure I was at ease :)
I especially enjoyed practicing French and learning a lot about Basque culture, history and more - great immersion. Also: cute dog

Maritxu is very welcoming and lively and wants you to feel good and secure. The area is so so beautiful and the sea is 5km away. The house is very old and not in the best condition, but for me that was no problem after getting used to it, it was mostly interesting to live a little different. If you’re not too sensitive about the living situation, I would warmly recommend this experience to everyone!!

We came to her place looking forward to a renovation project of an old farm.
Maritxu told us in advance that her house is minimalistic and in renovation.

Yet, we honestly didn’t expect the state of the house, since there are absolutely no pictures of neither the kitchen or bathroom online.
We are not picky, yet were surprised at the current state.
If you can’t stand a pee toilet (for women since man go to pee outside) that stinks incredibly, a dirty kitchen sink and bathroom, spiders and holes everywhere, I wouldn’t recommend you to go.

Maritxu lives impressively sustainable.

Had a wonderful experience staying with Maritxu! She’s an excellent hostess and has lots of cool projects going on around her home. She was an amazing teacher and offered us bikes to ride to the nearby oceanside. The Basque Country is a true gem that I recommend everyone experience.

Maritxu is a very nice person who will make you feel welcome in her home. She has lived a very eventful and interesting live in multiple countries and therefore has a lot of interesting storys to tell and many fields of interest. She speaks many languages and can help you very well improving in them. The work is as described and can be a bit repetitive, which is just something you need to be aware of.
The village is very calm and quiet surrounded by nature and the coast is more touristic.
I wish Maritxu all the best with her renovation plans and the many more ideas she has.
