Staying in Jan’s house was a very nice experience, I spent there three and half weeks. Jan is designer and artist and you can feel living there. Everything has its place, organized and tidy. I had my own studio with shower and toilet. I was cutting wood for winter, job was fine, no pressure.
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

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
