Gisella’s unique and extraordinary Victorian cottage is situated on a nearly 10 acre estate that she has lovingly restored. She tends to every task, every plant and every creature here herself. She also generously shares the grounds of the “Big House” with her guests, where you will find a pristine swimming pool, flowering shrubs & fruit-bearing trees, and her banyan tree filled “jungle”. The spacious, private cottage is nestled on the grounds and is discreetly decorated with Asian colonial style furniture imported from Indonesia. There is simplicity and attention to detail through out. On arrival we found one of Gisella’s stunning tropical flower arrangements on the dinner table. The original, refinished wood floors were clean and shiny. Everything was impeccably clean. The kitchen was well- equipped with imported pots, pans and dishes. The linen was high quality cotton. The appliances worked exactly as they should. Everything was “just right”, in the best sense of the word. I wanted to sit on the cottage veranda for the rest of my life. Gisella, in her friendly but quiet and efficient way, made all of this possible. I won’t forget her or this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
