The Experience

GIRLS ONLY Yule is a Nordic festival celebrated for twelve days, from December 21 to January 1. Each day is dedicated to a god or group of gods, with simple rituals, grand banquets, gifts and wishes for the new year. For many years we have opened our home to those who want to experience Yule from within, as part of a calm, warm and authentic home. Here Yule is not performed: it is lived. Would you like to experience it? ♥️

Laura and Javi are an excellent couple; their tasks were clear. I learned to be more confident with the animals; the way they treat them, as well as with us, was very good. I learned about their cultures; also with another volunteer, Wendy, incredible; it was a pleasure to be with her. Thank you very much for everything.

It was a wonderful experience; Laura and Javi are very loving and fun.
Their three children are very well-behaved and respectful.
Despite being a large family, including 13 cats and a dog, it is not chaotic at all; the cats have their own space and it's also very easy to clean with the system and the products they have at home.
If you want to feel at home, this is it.
P.S.: Laura cooks delicious meals.

The tasks to be carried out in the house are very simple, but there are no habits of order and cleanliness in the house, so I was cleaning the kitchen and/or bathrooms all day, in addition to the dogs' pee and poop.
It was extremely frustrating to finish cleaning, and have to start again since if someone went to the kitchen, everything became dirty again, disorganized and with pee.
In the app, a private room is promised, but it is shared with another volunteer.
It would be very useful to put photos of the house in the app as well.
Anyway, the people who live there are kind and friendly.

I'm 100% sure that what you were looking for was a simple place to spend a month in the summer, and that's why meeting the minimal tasks that were required overwhelmed you.
The kitchen, yes, it gets dirty, but it turns out that among the few tasks you had, keeping it clean was one of them. What, you clean the kitchen and the bathrooms all day? Of course you did—since you were at the beach.
Anyway... Not much more to say. In this house you were treated very well and we were very transparent from the start. We are rescuers and we have animals.

A fun family, amazing, kind and super intelligent children. A peaceful atmosphere; I was free to cook my own meals and also share with the family enjoyable moments over lunch and dinner. Daily activities with two days off. Thank you for the stay. Culhera is a very beautiful village, with stunning mountains for those who enjoy trail running. Hugs
