Gerry welcomed us into her Tuscan-inspired home (yes, she has been) which she shares with her ragdoll cats and a mute parrot. Once we had cleared up a slight misunderstanding re: car parking and lack of signage, she made us feel very welcome in her home. We had plenty of privacy- Gerry likes to sit in the arm chair at home or do some sewing occasionally. But there are two lounges and two outdoor settings, if you want to keep your distance. Bathroom facilities are ample - the shower unit mimics an orchestra of tubas when in operation- but this could be a positive or negative depending on your tastes.
The one slight problem we had is that Gerry likes to reserve the air conditioning for times when the temperature reaches 35 degrees or more. Understandably, she is trying to reduce her carbon footprint but it did make our afternoon naps a little sweaty. Nothing that the tuba-shower wouldn’t fix though. I suppose the parrot is acclimatised to the heat but I can’t be sure about the rag dolls.
Overall, a lovely stay with a couple of minor hiccoughs.
