I really enjoyed the weeks in Villanueva. Pilli & Pillo are two really warm people who make you feel like a member of the family. The work was really little and also varied, you had more the feeling of helping out a little than actually working. I worked together in the garden mowing the lawn, digging beds or painting the house. Even with my poor Spanish, I didn't miss Pilo's jokes, which were quit amusing. There was plenty of time to explore the area. I really enjoyed the nature and tranquillity of the place. Ideal for switching off and getting back to yourself a little.

Jose and his wife are really great persons. Despite I didn't speak that much spanish, I tried hard to understand and to speak in it and it counted a lot for them. Showing willingness of integration can really connet you with your host. Thay had a lot of patience speaking to me slowly and with easy words. Thanks to them my spanish is now much better ! The working hours were respected. There are usually in the afternoon but Jose is flexible about that. The place where i lived is perfect: a place whare you can sleep, a kitchen to make your own food and a shower. Recommend 100%!

Wow, what an experience it has been to live with Pili and José. They were like parents to me, and I am still grateful. I got to know Cantabria firsthand, with endless stories and a very interesting local perspective. It allowed me to understand and contribute to their vision of the world and their projects. Beautiful place, easy communication, volunteering offers great independence, and the hosts give you a lot of facilities. It is one of the best deals you will find on world packers.

An incredible experience with José and Pili as hosts, very welcoming and respectful throughout the stay. Flexible work hours as agreed, focused on maintaining the garden and the orchard, helping José with house chores, while Pili treated us to coffee breaks and sweets, very tasty! They taught me a lot about Cantabria and its surroundings, its landscapes and history, allowing us in our free time to cycle around the area. The 'casita' had everything needed to be comfortable, independent, and I am completely grateful to them and their hospitality.

Pili y pillo fue increíbles, para una primera experiencia de voluntario no podria buscar una mejor host. Me ayuden a visitar Cantabria, la casita está super bonita para dormir y disfrutar. Aun que no hablaba bien español, me ayuden a mejorar mi nivel y a diferenciar el cuchillo y la mochila. Los cafecitos en la merienda eran super para descansar y el trabajo de jardin no era tan dificil. 5/5 para todo. Muchas gracias a vosotros!
