About the host
Hosted by Host
We chose this beautiful mountain town as we love hiking and walking and the stunning surrounding views that this area has to offer.
Coming from a building and customer service background, we purchased our Apartment in March 2023. We refurbished it to create a typical spanish rental accommodation adding some english characteristics to the property at the same time. We completed the renovations ready for opening on 11th May 2023.
We have been fortunate enough to be able to travel and work in and around Europe with an English and French camping company which involved meeting and greeting guests from all nationalities as well as preparing their accommodation to a high standard. We were also Maintenance Engineers responsible for the repair and maintenance of mobile homes on various sites throughout Europe.
