    Description

    We have 8 cats. We would like someone to care for them while we are away.

    Minimum 1 month.

    Rural location. Separate field , small but with parking for a camper if you preferred to not live in the small house. Nice enclosed terrace with shade from sun or rain. Need someone reliable. Excellent for people who like hiking, beautiful quite valleys which meander along the river side. The main village is a walk, 30 minutes or 5 by car, a little longer by bike. There are bikes available for rent in the village. A beautiful serene spot. Depending on when you visit feel free to pick olives or grapes/press them. Only needed for a short time throughout the day to make sure our cats are happy. A vacation for free with a time for cat cuddles! If you want to walk the cats some happily walk on an harness. Any questions please feel free to ask. As we won’t be onsite no meals provided. Our terrace is perfect for star gazing or you can use the traditional Portuguese BBQ on the terrace. Full kitchen for anything else. A local coffee shop for essentials a 2 minute walk. Perfect for people looking for peace.
