Your cooperation in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

(Please note due to the self catering nature of this property, amenities will not be replenished during your stay. You are welcome to purchase should you run out.)

Due to the nature of the construction of the building, it can get quite loud when the rain POURS down. Normal gentle rain is not too loud. The roof also expands and contracts when it heats and cools down. Ear plugs are provided if you find the noise too intrusive. The metal roof expands and contracts as it heats and cools which makes it sound like rain.

If you are allergic to cats, please reconsider booking this property as the cats do come up to say hi and we cannot keep them locked inside for the duration of your stay.

Felt like a home away from home. It was well maintained and comfortable. Laurette and her family are incredibly welcoming, warm and helpful. There was an excellent laundry service. Highly recommended and definitely subject to repetition!

Our stay with Laurette was very pleasant. The listing is as described. The one bedroom is integrated into the main room and separated only by two ‘walls’ that do not really block out sound or light. That wasn’t quite so clear to us from the description. Otherwise, we felt very comfortable and had a pleasant stay. The tips on day trips and food were great.

The owner greeted us safely, was kind and responsive! The house is wonderful, especially the living room with its casement windows. There's also a pool and jacuzzi on the property, which was very welcome after long flights and walks. Thank you so much for your hospitality, for helping with laundry, for the treats, and for your shopping recommendations. The only downside we noticed was the noise on the roof in the mornings, but that's part of living in a picturesque area, with lots of birds. We rented car, so the hills wasn’t problem, or we use taxi.

Laurette and her husband were kind and helpful. Laurette has a folder with everything you need to know and good suggestions of local restaurants categorised according to needs. The area is safe and serves as a good starting point wherever you want to venture. There is decent playground 2min away by car.

Unusual, but very nice, comfortable space. Huge ceilings, lovely big bathroom and large balcony with mountain view were all a plus. Laurette and Ryan were very welcoming. She went out of her way to accommodate our late check out and flight. The welcome gift was a lovely teachers. Would definitely stay there again.
