Our Love Story

The tale of the Love Story Guesthouse started a long, long time ago.

In the distant town of Romani, lived a beautiful gypsy girl. She was a fortune teller by day, to the Countess of Parma, but at night time disappeared to visit her secret boyfriend. Her family would have put a spell of death on her love if they ever would have found out about their affair.

Her magic, card reading and beauty were known throughout the woods. Travelling from village to village, the showing of gypsy magic was not enough for her. She longed for a life far, far away with her secret man, whom she loved so deeply. So, every day she would create garments of distinction and practice the airs and graces of the Countess. Eventually, she was satisfied with her transformation. Not knowing where to run to, she blindfolded herself and pinned a place on a map. She fled with her love to the pinned town of Paul Roux.

The small town of Paul Roux was their hiding place where they opened an Inn and called it “Love Story”. In Paul Roux, they wove a tapestry of love tales. A glamorous Contessa was born where she still to this day lives in secret, happily ever after with her secret lover.
