Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | 2 Cats

We have an elderly cat - 17 years old - who is super friendly and demands lots of attention and cuddling. He needs 3 medications a day and is used to take them. If possible, he would love to sleep with you. He is free to go outside when he wants (cat gate).
Recently, we adopted Lilou, a mysterious and elegant lady aged 13, she is very shy but enjoy human attention, at her own rhythm.
Unfortunately, due to Horus' heart condition, we cannot accept guests with dogs (or cats).
We have a couple of indoor plants which need watering every 3 days (automatic watering for the garden in the summer).

Un excellent séjour dans un cadre magnifique. Isabelle et Roberto ont pris le temps de tout bien expliquer en amont et la maison est confortable et bien organisée. Lilou est une chatte adorable et sensible avec qui il faut être patient et doux . Merci pour la confiance et la communication fluide.

Mon séjour chez Isabelle et Roberto bien que très court a été très agréable. La veille de leur départ nous avons passé une soirée sympa autour d'un bon repas qu'avait préparé Isabelle. La maison est très bien située, agréable à vivre au calme, avec vue sur le lac Léman et le Mont Blanc...et les randos sont multiples. Horus, leur chat est âgé mais encore très vaillant. Je l'adore. Je recommande ce séjour.

Despite some issues with our car, Isabelle and Roberto were very kind and welcoming. We were able to spend good moments together and have enriching conversations. Additionally, Horus is a calm, affectionate cat who is really easy to take care of, so honestly, it was a fantastic stay. I recommend 100%
