Company information

I bought the house in 2018 and renovated it. A lot of hard work and this is where it's at. Every time I stay at the house I add extras to make the house more inviting and enjoyable for my guests. So yes! if you book I hope you will enjoy it as much as I and others do. Also, If you are lucky you will see the monkeys that pass through the garden occasionally ;-)
