Testimonials

A quiet retreat in a comfortable house surrounded by a lush garden.

Spending 16 days in Ale's & Lea's house was a wonderful respite from travelling, The photos don't do it justice. The house is comfortable & visually appealing, decorated colorfully with a variety of art work. .All windows overlook the lush, productive garden.......not typically Swiss. A serene oasis in a suburban setting, close to all amenities & transport. The work involved requires regular watering via hose & pump system, of garden & pot plants. Necessary in hot weather, but not too time consuming. Fruit & veg need to be harvested also. An ideal housesit for garden lovers.
