Victoria

Thank you for another great stay. This time I had the chance to experience the place for almost four weeks during spring. Perfectly sunny and not too hot yet. A little gardening was to do during this time of year, but not much at all. Fay gave me lots of tips for places to explore. There are some real gems in the mountains and beyond. Stunning views and nature. I was often alone with the dogs when hiking. Tourism was still quiet. I felt blessed to have it all to myself. Although there are villages and people nearby always. I saw lots of animals which I enjoyed tremendously. Highly recommend!

Another great week in the Spanish mountains. Fay Victoria is very hospitable and cooked up one of her nutritious soups. I was lucky to try her locally foraged fresh nettle soup. I stayed in different accommodation on the property this time. It was equally cosy and heated for comfort. The nights can be cold once the sun is gone even in spring, bring layers. I especially enjoyed long hikes in the forest with the dogs Lucky and Nelly. They are the cutest and were very playful. We even had sheep guarding dogs visit for cuddles and playtime. What a special experience. Highly recommended. See you soon Fay!

I loved my pet-sitting experience with Victoria . The location is absolutely gorgeous. You are surrounded by beautiful nature and excellent views. Boñar is a friendly village that has all the basics. It is really just a short walk away, which made things easy. I also had Victorias car available and there is Boñar train station to explore further away. I was already familiar with off-grid living. But Victoria is a wonderful host who explained everything and made sure I am comfortable throughout my stay, even remotely. The animals were happy, super sweet and affectionate. I took care of four cats and two dogs. The cats are quite independent and kept mice away which was perfect. And the dogs Lucky and Nelson are real characters that are easy to fall in love with. But both very sweet and a real help staying safe when exploring out in the wilderness. I stayed solo for one month into November and the weather was still quite mild. I even had enough WiFi out there to get some work done. If you love nature I can wholeheartedly recommend this stay. Thank you! I already miss the animals.

If you think the property is dreamy, it is. Mountain views, trails and endless harvesting at your fingertips! Forest, garden, here, there, everywhere! And Fay knows all the spots for this, that and a good time (like the secret lake!). Then there's there is the gang! I cannot! Too perfect and cute to put into words! Adventure cat Mimi is a baddie but a softie she's not having an identity crisis of whether she's a cat or dog, she's an adventure cat and always! Nelson is the love of my life. Kiss that head. But Lucky I identify with. Cute AND quirky! They are the best most amazing gang to ever be a gang! But Fay, she's perfect in every way! Food, vibes, facts, my witchy fairy godmother. Come to.vanderland, give, receive, it's the best vibe!
