THE STAFF

Ana, Freddy and Alison, their 7-year-old daughter, have a separate apartment below and are available to make your stay a memorable experience.

With seventeen years experience, Ana will prepare local specialties or together you can plan the meals for the day. Ana keeps the house, cooks all the meals—except for Sundays—and does the laundry—both household and personal. It is not Ana and Freddy’s responsibility to do the grocery shopping, but some guests may enjoy their assistance. Prior to your arrival, upon request, they will stock sufficient items for your initial meal. There will be a charge for the items requested plus a small fee.

Freddy is responsible for maintaining the pool and the property. Both Ana and Freddy are native to the area. So, if you need any directions, don’t hesitate to ask. Ana is fluent in English.

The staff is available six days a week. Sunday is their day off—no exceptions. We suggest that you experience one of the several excellent restaurants in the area on Sunday.

If you feel that Ana and Freddy have treated you with extra care and have gone beyond the call of duty to make your stay extraordinary, a gratuity would be welcomed.
