February 2019

Louisa has worked for us for around 8 or 9 years now. We book her in May, June, 5 weeks in the summer and in September.  She is wonderful (and I am highly critical and have a heightened attention to detail …!!).

Historically she does lunch and dinner for us. Our villa sleeps 11. We often invite friends for lunch or dinner so the numbers go up but Louisa is not remotely phased by any number of people.

Louisa is always organised and always delivers perfectly cooked and prepared food on time, with a smile!

Her food is delicious. We tend to eat relatively plainly and healthily, eg fish and salads, fresh fruit platter for lunch, some sort of meat/poultry and veg/potatoes for dinner, but she always comes up with new ideas, based on what we like. I know she cooks much fancier food for many of her clients!

I honestly can’t think of one bad thing to say about her (you don’t know me, but trust me, that’s pretty unusual coming from me …..!!!).

She does all our shopping (including me asking her to get things like more loo paper, washing powder, tonics etc). I virtually never go to a supermarket, which is bliss!! She also knows where to buy the best meat and the freshest fish, etc.  She makes excellent bread, chutneys, pâtés, bolognese,  etc. In fact, anything we ask for, she can do, and do very well!!

She is totally reliable and honest (she has had a key to our villa for years), always punctual and has a great sense of humour.

I’m sure you will find her amazing and having her will ensure you get a real holiday. I remember those days back in the distant past when I had my head either in the oven, the fridge, the dishwasher, or stomping round a very crowded supermarket. Having Lou with you for the week eliminates ALL of that!!
