⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No superlatives will suffice. The cats were loved, our home was superbly taken care of and we received (often more than) daily video updates. And Nathalie and Hans-Peter did so much more than that: work was being done on a part of our house and we were always kept informed of progress. And of arising problems and we had a few: a limping cat whom they took to the vet, a leaking roof after heavy rain, a broken strimmer which they had repaired so they could cut the grass, a dirty car which was washed inside and out. Nathalie's and Hans-Peter's generosity of spirit is inspiring: they arrived bearing gifts, they departed leaving gifts, they were a gift to us and will be to anyone who is fortunate enough to welcome them - as friends.

✨ Where time is measured in purrs and (mostly) sunlit naps ✨

Sophie and Chris were the kind of hosts dreams are made of. Not only did they generously share their adoooooorable cats and their beauuuuutiful home, but they were also incredibly hospitable, absolute delight to communicate with and such fun too.

Now, let's talk about the real stars of the show: Pico and Rosie. lt's impossible NOT to fall head over heels for this sweet duo. They're not just cute, they're full-on characters! With their effortless charm, they taught us the art of living at the leisurely, yet oh-so-elegant, pace of winter on Elba Island. 🐾😻😽

A huge thank you to Sophie and Chris for opening their home to us 🙏. If the opportunity ever arises to experience another slice of this purr-fectly wonderful life, we wouldn't think twice.

Until next time, keep the purrs coming! 😊
