Hi, I’m Giles. Originally born in the maritime city of Portsmouth, UK, I have spent much of my life traveling and living across the globe. Before finding my slice of paradise here in the Catalan countryside, I spent years living, working, and immersing myself in the cultures of Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and even Saudi Arabia.
I am a graduate of Leeds University. During my academic years, I spent a wonderful period studying in Granada, which sparked my lifelong love for Spain. After graduating, I lived and worked in Valencia from 2004 to 2007, working briefly in real estate before retraining as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher—a profession that has allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life.
Alongside education, my other great passion is food. I spent years working in the catering industry, serving as a sous chef in multiple restaurants. After a brief period living back in Manchester, UK, I decided it was time to return to the Spanish sunshine and embrace a completely different pace of life. Six years ago, I moved here to establish this beautiful, off-grid ecological finca in La Fatarella.
My Hosting & Lifestyle:
As a host, I am very laid-back, independent, and deeply respectful of my guests' privacy. Because I live on-site in a separate, completely independent area of the land, you will have total freedom to enjoy the premium glamping dome, the private swimming pool, and the kitchen areas entirely to yourself. Your space is fully decoupled for your exclusive enjoyment.
At the same time, I am always around if you need a lift to the supermarkets, need help changing a gas bottle, or have any query. As part of my commitment to a premium, hospitality-driven stay, I also gladly take care of all your weekly laundry and clothes washing for you, completely free of charge. Whether you are a digital nomad looking for a quiet nature sanctuary to crush your remote workload under reliable 5G, or a traveller wanting to experience world-class stargazing, you will find a warm, peaceful, and professional welcome here.
