Allow yourself to relax...
And for the moment unwind!!!

Our only functional clock on the property

Advanced notice is required for groups up to 14 guests. Prices and menus are available on request. Meal preparation is possible with advance notice.

Also living in the studio apartment are two very cool hypoallergenic pure breed SPHYNX cats that are available for visitation upon request... these are a unusual breed that enjoys guests and is unique to touch and feel (they are hairless cats). Their names are giZa or sometimes spoken giZella & kYro-karnaX, named from the pyramids and great cites guarded by these colossal recumbent stone figure sphinx of egypt.. giZa is a blue tabby sphynx while kYro-karnX is all red... (as a pair they are referred to as XYZ).

We wish you the most wonderful of stays
