Welcome to Planetrees life! Genevieve, your host, is a passionate creative (artist and trained architect) who spent the past fifteen years building this amazing lifestyle paradise. Drawing on inspirations from her years of travel in Europe and her passion for creating beautiful environments, her vision here was to create a magical garden property to share with those who desire and enjoy nurture in nature. We invite our guests to make this haven their own for their stay. We are keen to provide assistance when needed (offering lots of useful tips!) and at the same time respect your independence and privacy.
