"Casa Kura Kura" Before & After

On November 21st, we go back to start working on the property.

New owners, new name, “Casa Kura Kura” it is! A Guest House / retreat center, Agathe is the host and manager. Kura Kura means Turtle in Indonesian a heart-shaped note to Agathe’s years in Bali

We will spend 2 months there, with a 2 weeks Xmas family vacation in the middle. Vacation very much appreciated, we are exhausted after emptying the house, cleaning, etc…

When we go back the, the Casatita is ready for Agathe but Pierre & I can’t stay in the Casa anymore, it is partly being torn apart. We move into a rental next door.
