No planning, no stress — just good food and a warm, relaxed atmosphere to enjoy during your stay.
Poppet & Scruffy
Get ready to meet the most hilariously mismatched, yet perfectly matched, duo: Poppet and Scruffy! Poppet, our sassy Jack Russell type, clearly had a dramatic start to life. Found as a tiny puppy, she was literally tied to a radiator in an abandoned building in Didim, Turkey – talk about a warm welcome! And then there's Scruffy, our shaggy Tibetan Terrier, who was also a street dog from Didim, seemingly discarded like a toy that nobody wanted to play with anymore (their loss, our gain!). Despite their rather unfortunate origins, these two have blossomed into the best of friends. Their main mission in life? To engage in never-ending, high-speed chase sequences around the house, proving that all you really need in life is a buddy to run circles with.
