House-party in the Pyrenees - Return to Listing
We have been running these holidays for almost a decade and, every year, have the privilege to welcome such delightful guests and to share a week of their time. The greater the diversity of people the better, and we warmly welcome people of all ages and walks of life. Many people choose to come on their own and it is a personal challenge to create a warm and open atmosphere where everyone can feel at home. Part of this is our open-house philosophy, so please help yourselves to food, wine and washing machine whenever you want. (By the same token, do remind me to water the flowers or raid my dwindling stock of English teabags if we run low!). Although all meals are catered for, and we often have lunch at a local restaurant, don't hesitate to join in if you want to, but only if you want to. Help serving the wine, laying the table or making the salads is always happily received and we do find that the more our guests get involved, the more everyone gains from the experience. As far as the Spanish language holidays are concerned giving a hand cutting the garlic or making a tortilla can be a great vocabulary exercise!
