Area is beautiful, mountains nearby, green meadows,… read more

I stayed over a month at Jan's place. It is a really nice property in an amazing environment. I felt great there. Jan lets you be free to organize your work so I had plenty of time to go cycling in the sunny Spanish Pyrenees. I cannot come up with any negative feedback, so that says it all. Thanks a lot!

Lovely surroundings, very quiet and piecefull, good accomodation. I stayed there for 2 months and could have stayed there longer if I didn't have any obligations at home. It was good for me to have my car so that I could go out when I needed to connect to 'the outside world'.
I did different types of jobs, always work I felt comfortable with. I… read more

A spectacular place out of all the fuss and madness, if you want to find the contact with the natural this is the right place. I thank Jan Brigitte and Raymond because they are unique and special people who can make you feel at ease with yourself.

THE WELCOME
Jan was since the beginning very kind to me. When I arrived in Figueres, there was no more buses to Cantallops. I get in touch with him to tell I was sleeping in the city and he and Jack (the dog), went there to pick me up.
When we arrived at his place, we shared a glass of wine and talked about many subjects. It was very pleasant and… read more
