We had a wonderful experience staying with Hannes in Ireland. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel right at home with their warmth and hospitality. The house was beautiful, cozy, and filled with lovely details that made it even more special. They went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, taking us around the area and sharing fascinating stories about the local culture and history. Every day, they treated us to gourmet meals that were absolutely delicious. Not only were they incredibly tasty, but they also showcased Hannes talent and dedication in the kitchen

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect and Hannes is an amazing host. He made us feel very welcome and cooked absolutely delicious meals every day, some of the best we've ever had in our lives. The house is cozy, clean, and very comfortable. The beach is only a 3-minute walk away, and the area is full of beautiful places to explore. It's the perfect spot to relax, enjoy nature. We're so grateful for the experience and would love to come back someday. Highly recommended!

Hannes is everything you could hope for in a host and more. He is welcoming, patient, generous, knowledgeable, kind, respectful, caring, and overall just loves life. I will unapologetically stay on trend with other reviews and mention that he is an outstanding cook. The food was simply too good to be true. As for the tasks, I loved the variety and welcomed opportunities to learn new things (especially about bees from Elena!). Hannes shows you what he'd like done and trusts you to da good job, that's all he asks. So do your part! 10/10 recommend this place. I am so grateful to the Hermanns!

My stay with Hannes and Elena couldn't have been better. Hannes is the sweetest man and companion in the world; we became best friends. I explored nearby towns, drank the best Irish beer, met amazing people, and had so much fun accompanying him on all his activities. The property and house are beautiful and the views are breathtaking. He's truly the best chef. I'm going to miss them both, along with the sweetest Ida 🐶 and the mischievous Tosko 😽. See you soon, friends! 💜

Getting to know Hannes, his home and family was a wonderful experience. He was by far the best host I have ever had, always very attentive and grateful, very direct and respectful, I love being able to recommend him, he knows how to be a true host. A good man, a great friend and a spectacular chef. If you are skilled (handy) and you like haute cuisine, I am sure you will enjoy this experience PS: if you like bees or at least you are not afraid of them hahaha, in your free time you can learn a lot from his wife Elena, a wonderful woman, a dedicated teacher and true lover of hives. 🫡✨
