CONVENTO SAN ROQUE

We are a very special place: a meticulously preserved 17th-century convent. Located in a medieval village and surrounded by nature, it also has good access to the city center, which makes it an ideal location. The surroundings are quiet; we host few guests, only 20 rooms, and the pace of the place has a unique soul.

The team is young, composed of great professionals in the field; some are locals and others come from farther away, but all bring significant human value to the team. As the host, I ensure they have what they need to work in good conditions, and thus the guest feels comfortable during their stay.
Volunteers have a private room, with a bathroom and shower in the room, and free access. There are simple rules of conduct, such as keeping quiet at night (no parties, no noise, etc.), cordial coexistence, camaraderie, and taking care of the facilities (it's a very old building, it must be protected).

We can also provide meals, with breakfast and a varied menu, as we are a restaurant, and we can adapt if they have any needs.
For us, the volunteer is a fellow coworker; both the team and I, as manager and host, seek full trust and a good atmosphere.

My first volunteering experience was excellent. IƱaki is a genius and is always 100% attentive to the volunteer, giving flexibility in the schedules and explaining everything in detail. The work team is also wonderful, always trying to make you feel comfortable and providing you with all the help possible. Regarding the tasks; they are situational, they depend a lot on the hotel's situation, whether there are events or not, etc. The main thing is to be attentive and want to help, thus one feels useful during the stay. Otherwise, I only have words of gratitude, it was a great first experience! Best wishes, IƱaki!

I really enjoyed the volunteering experience. The place is extremely peaceful and the team welcomed me warmly from day one. The tasks are simple. A small detail to improve would be the description of the duties in the profile, since customer service plays a secondary role to the rest of the activities. Still, I’m leaving with a fantastic memory and I would totally recommend it.

Beautiful experience at the hotel the hotel in the small town of Balmaseda. IƱaki is an excellent host, always attentive to the volunteers. I highly recommend hiking in the surroundings and visiting the Hermitage of the hotel SebastiƔn and the hotel that has very beautiful views. It is also very well connected to Bilbao; you have buses all day.
