Learn spanish in Spain with Lourdes

Welcome to the house of Jose and Lou.

WE ONLY OFFER ACADEMIC STAYS

Hello! I'm Lourdes, Purchasing Technician. I live with my husband Jose in Silla, 12 km from Valencia, Spain, and we have four children: Eric, Alba, Daniela, and Lara.
Eric has become independent, and we offer his individual room for your stay.
We are a friendly and active family who enjoy traveling whenever we can. We welcome you to our home and look forward to sharing the experience of living as a family during your stay. We live in a townhouse in a residential area, which we share with our two dogs, Hook and Kyra.
Valencia is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain and is one of the main tourist destinations in Europe, thanks to the perfect combination of its temperate climate, beautiful beaches, countless artistic expressions, excellent cuisine, and an endless life, both day and night. In recent years, it has become the most sought-after destination for European students in university exchange programs, as it is also a safe city that offers fantastic value for money, providing an excellent quality of life.
Valencia is truly amazing; we are used to welcoming people. In fact, we are very proud of our place and our local culture. We will speak Spanish all the time, of course, but our daughters are also fluent in English, so communication will be guaranteed.
You will enjoy our outdoor lifestyle and the cultural offerings of Valencia, with some weekend getaways to nearby places (Sea, Mountains depending on the season), or cultural visits, museums, exhibitions... We are experienced travelers and also like to find the best deals, oriented towards children.
Valencia has a lot to offer, but we also have a second residence on wheels: our motorhome. We travel with it anywhere, city, countryside, sea, mountains.
We enjoy hiking routes, practice Nordic walking, and do outdoor activities.
Jose is a fantastic cook (we like healthy food and care a lot about nutrition). He cooks everything, but his specialty as a good Valencian is our Paella, Fideúa, Arroz Negro… He is the official cook.
Alba is very homey; she likes being at home and loves children. She works as a teacher in an Occupational Center. Daniela loves going out with friends, going to the movies, shopping… she is studying for a degree in Business Administration. Lara loves volleyball and also going out with friends; she is studying for a degree in Aesthetics and Beauty.
We are committed and have family in the area. We usually gather at home some Sundays and make a Paella for everyone to eat.
I have a flexible work schedule and work from home three days a week. Jose is at home as he has a disability, which means there is always an adult at home. We like to treat guests as we would like our children to be treated when they go with a host family abroad.
We look forward to welcoming you to our home! We will take care of you as if you were one more person in our family.
Best regards, Lou
