These are pictures are to share with those of you who would like to visit us but can't. These are of our ca. 300 year old cottage, the garden, our plant and animal passions and the cattery spaces. Enjoy. Queste foto sono per voi che vorreste visitarci ma non potreste. Queste sono dalla nostra Cottage (che ha 300 anni!), del giardino, e delle nostre passioni per animali e piante, e dei spazi per i gatti. Buon divertimento! Diese sind Bilder für diejenigen, die uns gern besuchen würden, aber können den Abstecher Richtung Norditalien nicht machen können. Diese sind von unsrem 300 jahre alten Cottage, vom Garten, von unsren Leidenschaften für Tieren und Pflanzen und auch von unsrer Zwingern. Enjoy!     Please feel free to call us for an appointment to see the cats or to inquire about the availability of kittens. We do not accept visitors to the cattery without appointment. Si é pregato di telefonare per un appuntamaento per l'allevamento. Siamo molto lieti di ospitarvi qui a Casa Rocca, ma é importante fare un'appuntamento prima. Senza appuntamento non permettiamo visiti al'allevamento. Bitte, ruf uns für einen Besuch in der Zuchstätte an! Es wäre uns eine Freude, euch in unsrer Cattery begrüssen zu dürfen! Besuche ohne Anmeldung sind untersagt, da wir auch ein privates Leben führen. :-)!

Details of our garden. Movement and elegance are an important part of the concept.

 

 

Persicaria "Red Dragon" - a favourite foliage plant.

Spuria irises, Hemerocallis and other summer perinnerials 

The "Shady Walk" along the back cat play areas (above and below the border).  

A part of our grassery. We really love the movement and low-key colours of greens on greens with touches of white, yellow and red variegation.
