Each evening, Sophie like a food fairy godmother would arrive, and discreetly create another wonderful and mouth wateringly perfect meal. Nothing was too much trouble and Sophie took all requests in her stride. I discovered one evening that she had spent half the day driving around the mountain towns trying to find one specific herb for that evening’s meal ! When we were indecisive suggestions were made and we found that the offer to surprise us so that we did not even have to think about what we wanted, always ended up in another spectacular treat.

For us, not having to shop for food, cook the meal and of course… clean up, made it all worthwhile. Whilst all that was going on we had time to relax with our family and friends. At the end of the week it had all been a great holiday and a true break. If only we could have snuck Sophie home with us !
