Animals at the heart of nature<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Driven by her passion for animals, our director and owner, Pauline Petta, set up this magnificent alpaca park in 2023<\/strong>.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

In 2025, she added two pygmy donkeys<\/strong> called PIPPO & PIPPA.<\/p>\n

\u00abIt is paramount for us to respect the nature that surrounds us and to add animals to our hotel establishment; that was all that was missing for us to be in total harmony.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Six wonderful residents<\/strong> \u2013 Liberia, Fluffly, Oreo, Choco, Vegas and Tacos \u2013 are waiting to meet you in our park.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

A return to childhood, a chance<\/strong> to get away from it all<\/strong>, and a truly memorable experience await you during your stay<\/strong><\/a> and wellness day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The concept of animal-assisted therapy<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

When animals are used to provide a sense of well-being or for therapeutic purposes, this is known as animal-assisted<\/strong> therapy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Animal-assisted therapy is not a form of medicine and does not cure any illness. However, its fundamental principle is based on the fact that the human-animal relationship contributes significantly to improving <\/strong>a person\u2019s mental<\/strong>, physical or psychological health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It helps people to view life more optimistically<\/strong>, promotes relaxation, helps them to break out of isolation, feel loved, reduce stress<\/strong>, socialise, improve their behaviour, and so on\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0The presence of animals contributes to human happiness,<\/strong> and spending time with them can only be beneficial.<\/p>\n

Alpacas are ideal animals for animal-assisted therapy<\/strong> thanks to their gentle, calm and endearing nature.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
