Testimonials

We have a lovely family photo of us all, standing, smiling together here on the grass. This is a rare occurrence! And its a testament to the joy we have found this week in your gorgeous home and gardens.

Thank you for the warm welcome, all the little touches and thoughtful extras- they have made a huge difference to our stay. Mas Feliu is absolutely beautiful- we loved the pool and gardens. We hope to see you again soon!

Thank you Carol, Perry & Sophie for a fantastic holiday.

We all had such a brilliant time- Jude was in his element being able to swim every day and I think he’s going to be sad to be home. Annie absolutely loved exploring and will miss shouting the “neighs” from her window every morning.

It’s been such a lovely time getting to know you and another family. Its the most relaxed we’ve felt being away for a long time! Thank you for all the thought that went into looking after us so well. We hope we will see you again soon!

Carol, Perry & Sophie,

Thank you all for everything! We have had a wonderful week and really enjoyed the beautiful apartment, the pool and all your kindness throughout the week.

We keep saying that this has been THE most relaxing holiday we have had and all 5 of us, and especially our two boys, have been able to relax and have been so happy. This is a very special and unique place, we will be back!

Dear Carol, Perry & Sophie.

Very many thanks for giving us the opportunity to spend a wonderfully restful week in such beautiful surroundings.

I’m sure people have told you many times, but having hosts who understand the challenges autism can bring to a family out of its usual environment is very rare and an immense relief to us as parents. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. It can be the little things that make such a difference- be they food, advice on activities, drinking… a moka pot!!

As you know William has already declared this to be his best holiday and it has certainly been more restful for us than we had anticipated. Very many thanks again.
