Needs and animals

Many plants | Big garden | 2 Dogs | 1 Cat | 6 Farm animals

Our podenca Lien is 9 years old and is super calm and basically sleeps all day (except if you leave some food at reach, she will make all possible tricks to try and steal it lolol). The shepherd Ori is a 4-year-old male and constantly looking for human company, so will follow you wherever you go (possibly to the toilet as well). He will need to be on the leash during the walks as he tend to wander around.
They are also used to stay alone in the house so if you are planning to spend the day outside they will be perfectly fine.

The job is very simple:
- Taking the dogs out for a little walk either in the morning or evening (very easy as we live in the countryside and there are no roads/cars)
- Feeding them at night.
- Making sure the water bowls are full
- Feeding the cat in the morning and in the afternoon (he lives outside the house).
- we also have 6 chickens that needs feeding
- Keeping us informed of the state of our dogs and the house :)
- Keeping the house tidy.

That's it! If you like gardening you will be very welcome to spend time in our …

House

A full house all for yourself! 2 double bedrooms, 1 studio with nice big working desk, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, a wood burning chimney that will heat the entire house+plenty of already chopped wood, a washing machine, a decent internet connection that enables work from home (is not the fastest but we are able to work with it or watch movies) and a very big garden. You are also welcome to borrow our 2 bikes and to use our car (Berlingo) if you don't have your own. You will be able to use whatever food/condiments you find in the kitchen and will only need to buy the fresh products.

There's a little market in the close by village on Tuesday (Soncillo) or on Monday in Villarcayo. Main supermarkets are 25 min drive.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We think the place would be a great fit for a couple who loves nature and are not afraid of cold winter days. We expect you to come and stay in our place for 2-3 days before our departure so we can explain everything and share some time knowing each other.

Tourism and Leisure

The town, Villavès, is at 800mt altitude meaning that the winters can be quite cold and the town is quite small (60-70 houses) without shops nor bars, although groceries, bread, veggies and frozen fish are delivered by different by vans through the week.

The nearest towns are the cute Puentedey which has 2 bars, and Pedrosa de Valdeporres with a small shop (10 min drive). Otherwise, Villarcayo is 17 km away and has all kinds of supermarkets and shops. Unfortunately, there is no public transportation but we will leave our car for use in case you have a valid driving licence. In front of our house, there are different hiking paths, so it is a perfect place if you are a nature lover. The region also has several beautiful spots to be discovered: Hermita San Bernabe, Monasterio de Rioseco, Orbaneja del Castillo, Espinosa de Monteros…

We had such a wonderful stay at Daria and Guillermo’s place. Looking after Xena, Ori, and Lien was an absolute joy—and the chickens were a highlight too! We honestly had the most delicious eggs we've ever tasted. The location is stunning and mountainous, tucked away about 20 minutes from the nearest shops and villages. We spent our time hiking and truly soaking up the mountain lifestyle. A fantastic experience all around!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Daria et Guillermo ! Ils ont été très accueillants avec nous. La maison est très agréable et en pleine nature. Nous avons adoré nous balader avec leurs deux chiens très chaleureux: Ori et Llen. Merci pour tout! Nous serons ravis de revenir une prochaine fois :) Vincent et Valérie
