Descrição
Kaixo & Ciao!
We are a multicultural family of four: Matteo (Italian), Ane (Basque), and our two teenagers, Oihana (2007) and Asier (2010). We are easy-going people who enjoy the simple things in life—mountain walks, natural landscapes, and good chats over a glass of wine.
We live in a 300-year-old traditional Basque country house surrounded by nature, where we run a small, cozy guest house (Abatetxe, if you want to google it). We love welcoming people and sharing cultural exchanges!
Our home is a true peaceful retreat, tucked away in the mountains (1-hour walk or a 15-minute drive from the nearest village, but don't worry—we’ll happily pick you up at the train station!). Here, you’ll experience a genuine off-grid lifestyle: electricity powered entirely by solar panels and a wind turbine, spring water straight from the mountain, heating and from our firewood boiler.
We have 2 hectares of messy land that we are continuously shaping and caring for, which means there is always plenty of rewarding outdoor work. We grow our own organic vegetables in our "rustic" veggie garden and share our life with a lovely mix of animals: donkeys, hens, dogs, and cats.
At home, we mostly speak Basque and Italian, but we are also fluent in Spanish and English—making this a great place for language learning and cultural sharing.
If you are looking for a relaxing, authentic, and eco-friendly experience in nature with a warm family, this is the perfect place for you! -
