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%!

Nuestra estadía en the home de Jose y Pili fue excelente! Siempre están dispuestos a ayudarte en lo que necesites. Desde el momento en el que llegamos siempre fueron muy atentos. Nos llevaron a conocer Santander y algunos pueblos de Cantabria. Viven en un lugar soñado. Tuve un accidente y no pude hacer actividades por varios dias. Ellos supieron entender y me han ayudado en todo lo que estuvo a su alcance. Son personas muy bondadosas y realmente maravillosas. Gracias por esta gran experiencia ❤️

Hermoso lugar para desconectarse del ruido de la ciudad. Pillo y pili fueron unos excelentes anfitriones, me trataron como si fuera su hijo y el tiempo que compartí con ellos fué excelente. Respetan tu horario y tus días libres, te comparten todo lo que puedes hacer y conocer cerca de ahí y de Santander. Totalmente recomendado.
