    Description

    About us: We are a family of four, Xelo, Fede, Carme and Blai. Xelo grew up in Valencia, Spain. Fede in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Carme is our daughter, she is a 4 years toddler. Blai is our son, he is 6-7 months baby.
    We are a vegetarian family (whole food plant based), nature lovers, and we carea about environment and homemade things.
    We like cultural diversity, cooking (Mediterranean, Indian…), languages, philosophy, outdoor activities, cycling, music (we have piano, guitar, drums…), Montessori education and respectful parenting.
    Due to our lifestyle and parenting style we thought it would be nice to have some help.

    About our home: We live in a three room, 100sqmts luminous apartment, near “Ciudad de Las Artes” and Turia garden. There is a guests room and a separate bathroom for guests.

    About our city: Valencia is the third biggest city of Spain. The land is shallow and cycling friendly with plenty of bike lanes to reach almost any spot in the city by bike. Valencia is by the beach and is one of the few cities surrounded by farmland at only 15 minutes from the city center.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    As we described earlier, we live in an apartment in the city. We a have a guests room with a double bed and a cupboard. There is a guests bathroom just across the corridor which we use also for Carme’s and Blai’s stuff and laundry.
    Common areas like living room, dinning room and kitchen are accessible.
    Our idea is to share meals but everyone can eat whenever they want. If we prepare some meal, we do it for everyone even if others are eating in a different time.
    Since we are vegetarian (almost vegan), guests should be comfortable with this kind of food. We try to avoid having meat products at home.

    Weather in Valencia is most of the time sunny and warm. Cultural, gastronomical and night offer is good. There are a lot of hiking to do around and there is always the beach as an option. There’s metro, bus, bike sharing services to move around.
    We like to go biking, hiking or spending time outside whenever we can.
