Simply Fantastic
Suzanne was lovely, Very welcoming, spoke excellent English, and was more than accommodating. The house had beautiful views, warm at night, cool in the day, good amenities, all clean and tidy. Very rural and peaceful. Dogs and Cats were very friendly and well behaved and very loved and looked after. We would definitely recommend, and hope to come back soon.

Lot of pets , lot of love!
Taking care of Suzanne’s pets was very nice, they are all lovely 🥰 We arrived 1 week before Suzanne had to leave, so we had the time to get to know each other, everything about the house and the pets and ask all the questions. It really has been very helpful since there were many things to keep in mind. We’ve spent a month surrounded by the love of the dogs and the cat, in a really beautiful place!! We really recommend to stay at Suzanne’s and enjoy the company of Ashlyn, Saana, Flora and Zeus!!
