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

Gran experiencia en el alojamiento! Si buscas contacto con la naturaleza, explorar el Pais Vasco y conocer la cultura local este es tu sitio! Sula es un fenómeno, comprometido y trabajador, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. No tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Ana pero si a sus padres e hija y son todos un amor =) El trabajo es diverso, no te aburriras!

Desde el primer día,me sentí increíblemente cómodo y acogido.la comunidad que me encontré no solo me recibió con los brazos abiertos, sino que también me hizo sentir como parte de la familia. La calidez y la hospitalidad de las personas que conocí fueron genuinas, y rápidamente me integré en la vida cotidiana del lugar. Ana, una persona increíble que se convirtió en un pilar fundamental durante mi estancia. Su generosidad y amabilidad no conocían límites. No solo fue una excelente anfitriona, sino que también se preocupó por cada uno de nosotros como si fuéramos parte de su propia familia

The lodge es estar en familia y en hogar. Te nace entregarse a fondo para aportar ese granito de arena en lo que es una casa con alma muy bonita. Ana es generosidad en estado puro, sabe lo que quiere y siempre está abierta a escuchar nuevas ideas de mejora. Es fácil sentirse parte de the lodge y su historia. Soula es ejemplo de entrega incondicional y de liderazgo silencioso. Eder el contador de historias nato que hace más amena y divertida la estancia. Y el pequeño Amets que conquista con su risa auténtica e inocente. Ah! Y se come de lujo: todo del huerto, saludable y de proximidad. Gracias❤️

Tener a Javi entre nosotros ha sido extremadamente positivo y enriquecedor. Es una de esas personas con la que conectas nada más verla. En seguida percibes el corazón inmenso que posee y su sentido de responsabilidad a todos los niveles. Le distingue su habilidad para sacar lo mejor de las personas en cada encuentro. Siempre da más de lo que se le pide. Amoroso, amable, honesto, confiable, resolutivo, proactivo, dedicado y cercano, son solo algunas de las cualidades que lo describen.
Te deseamos mucho éxito en tu camino y que recojas todo el amor y magia que has sembrado en nuestra familia.
