Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | Vegetable patch | 2 Cats

We expect our house-sitter to take care of our two cats: Billie and Mitzi. They are 10 years old and are very friendly and sociable. We have developed a fusional relationship (!) with our cats over the years, and it's very important for us to ensure their well-being. They need water (especially in summer), food twice a day (Mitzi has a special food because he got kidney stones in the past), and a clean cat litter. If you can play with them they will be thrilled :)
We will also need you to water our garden, located at 8 min from home walking (it's a communitarian garden).

Additional information about these dates

These dates might change by a day or two. I also wanted to specify that we started to renovate the house and removed the paperwall in some of the rooms so it's not exactly as in the pictures. There is no need to water my garden during this stay.

House

Old house in the city center of Tavira (5 min walking from the train/bus stations, 10 min from the boat going to the Tavira island and beaches). The house is full of history with a lot of character. It has Wi-Fi, television, hot water, washing machine, dishwasher, but some of rooms need extensions to get electricity and don't have much light at night. Important to be careful with the facilities in general, it is old and fragile! We recently started a renovation and some of the rooms are a bit rough. The house is extremely quiet and has an internal terrace with plants.
We also have a community garden 8 min walking from our place and usually ask house-sitters to take care of it as well.

Our house is very quiet and spacious. We have high speed internet and a Thermomix if you like to cook!

Small and quiet street in the old town of Tavira. Supermarkets, bars, restaurants and bakeries very close to our place. Everything is accessible at walking distance.

Après le très bon accueil de Mélanie, nous avons passé un agréable moment de convivialité en sa compagnie et avons fait la connaissance de Billie et Mitzi. Mélanie nous a ensuite donné toutes les informations pratiques ainsi que les consignes nécessaires au bon déroulement de notre échange. Ce séjour a été un véritable plaisir, dans le cadre touristique d’une belle petite ville de l’Algarve, avec une grande demeure traditionnelle, pleine de charme et très pittoresque, avec quelques travaux. Après une semaine passée dans cette belle région, c’est avec beaucoup de bons souvenirs que nous l’avons quittée. Une personne, des animaux, une demeure et une région que nous recommandons vivement.

Super séjour : petits chats adorables, très bonne communication avec Mélanie et destination charmante. J'espère répéter !

Mélanie est très accueillante et sa maison typique portugaise avec ses magnifiques carreaux de faïence, son fer forgé, vitraux très pittoresque même si actuellement en travaux. Mitzie et Billie sont des amours, Billie est plus demandeuse de calins et Mitzie est malin, il a des croquettes spécifiques à prendre et arrive toujours à se faufiler pour aller piocher dans la gamelle de Billie. L'appartement est situé dans le centre historique, c'est superbe et pour les amoureux de l'océan, l'île de Tavira et ses immenses plages de sable blanc à 20 mn en ferry. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le séjour, d'autant plus que ma fille m'a rejoint pour un moment privilégié mère-fille dans un cadre bien sympathique avec la compagnie de deux adorables chats.
