The word “meraki” originates from Greek and is pronounced mA-‘rak-E. It literally translates to “the essence of ourselves,” encapsulating a concept that transcends a single word—it embodies the idea of putting one’s soul, creativity, effort, and love into everything one does.
In their latest life chapter, Simone and Patrick wholeheartedly invest themselves in their passion project, Quinta Nere Maitia Refuge. With profound dedication to nature, they unite people through shared interests in gastronomy, oenology, culture, and history.
Since discovering the Quinta, they have tirelessly pursued their dream, infusing Quinta Nere Maitia with heart and soul. In Basque, “Nere Maitia” means “Our Love,” symbolizing their deep commitment to this endeavor. Together with their devoted team, Simone and Patrick approach their work with meraki, imparting this profound sentiment to all who visit their cherished refuge.
