My stay at the lodge was very tranquil and peaceful. Ana was very accommodating to anything I needed as a guest in her home and I enjoyed our time together. I was asked to do many jobs in any way I could help the community and I was glad to do it! Definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for place to enjoy nature and peace. Thanks for everything Ana!

The experience was nice overall and the little towns are cute but there's not much really happening. It's good to disconnect from big cities and tourists and connect with nature. Great for biking around. Don't hesitate to contact me for further details.

Thank you Javier for the review, thank you for the recipes you made in our house, they were good times. I am very sorry not to practice English, it was difficult for me, and seeing that there were other tasks at home.... Many kisses and I hope we stay in touch

Es un lugar tranquilo y apartado, la casa se lleva en conjunto los voluntarios con la anfitriona. El trabajo varía y hay días muy locos y días nuy tranquilos, pero se pueden gestionar con la correcta organización

Gracias, Daniel, por tu paso por aquí y por compartir tu experiencia. Como bien dices, este es un lugar tranquilo y apartado, donde la vida y el trabajo se gestionan en conjunto entre los voluntarios y yo. El ritmo puede variar bastante, con días intensos y otros más relajados, pero una buena comunicación y organización —como la que tú has mostrado en todo momento— marcan la diferencia.

Agradezco mucho tu disposición, tu actitud abierta y tu manera de adaptarte a lo que iba surgiendo.

Estuve de voluntario en la casa rural el alojamiento, en Azpeitia, y fue una experiencia increíble. Ana, la anfitriona, fue muy atenta y siempre estuvo pendiente de todo. Sus hijos se hicieron mis amigos y con ellos conocí la cultura vasca y lugares hermosos. Cada semana hacíamos una lista de comida que Ana nos daba para cocinar, y con la tarjeta de transporte pudimos movernos por la zona. Aprendí mucho, hice amigos y viví momentos que nunca olvidaré.

Una experiencia maravillosa. La casa muy acogedora. El entorno es simplemente hermoso, ideal para desconectar y disfrutar de la tranquilidad, aprender de la cultura vasca y su idioma. Además, la anfitriona Ana fue siempre amable y con excelente disposición para ayudar en todo momento. Sin duda, un lugar al que me encantaría volver!!! Gracias por todo 😃
