Now I only find Time to write my recommendation. My first week after the language stay started very busy and I think longing for Torquay and the good times in the house of Sabrina and Josy. I had a nice, clean and quite privat room with bath, there I was abel to recover well.
I shared the common dinner with the interesting discussions about economics and politics and the funny moments when we laughed a lot. It was a good time and thank you a lot.
August 19th, Eveline from Switzerland
Lovely place to stay. Very friendly owners, Sabrina and Josie look after your every need. Beautiful setting, would highly recommend.
I was really happy in your house and I had a beautifyl room with my own bathroom. Sabrina and Josie you were always helpful when I had a problem.
It was a wonderful time in Torquay, at TIS and with you and your cats.
Sabrina and Josie are the best hosts you can get! Thank you for hosting me for 2 weeks. I had such a nice time in Villa Pasqua, a beautiful house and my bedrooom with in-room bathroom was very nice, comfortable and clean as the whole house. Villa Pasqua is really close to the TIS school although city centre, just a few minutes walk. Sabrina and Josie were very friendly and welcoming and helpfully. We always had dinner together and Sabrina is an very good and excellent cook. See us next year;))) Cheers, Marion
I would like to say a lot of thanks about everything. Everyday, I was happy and interested in Torquay and Villa Pasqua! After leaving Villa Pasqua, I miss Sabrina, Josie, Arianna, Torquay, TIS, friends, foods and so on. So, I enjoy ale and Plymouth gin so often in Japan thinking about those things!
I hope to go again to Torquay and Villa Pasqua with my family! Please give my best regards to Josie and Arianna.
To Villa Pasqua again? yes, yes

Thank you very much for hosting me even just for a week. I had such a lovely stay in Villa Pasqua.
You have a beautiful house and my suite (Oak Room) with in-room bathroom was very nice, comfortable and clean as the whole house.
An important advance is that Villa Pasqua is really close to the city centre, just few minutes walk.
Sabrina and Josie are a really nice couple. They were very friendly, chatty and welcoming and we always had dinner together. Sabrina is an excellent cook.
They also have two sweet cats.
I really enjoyed Torquay even if my stay was too short, that's why I would like to come back again and of course I would like to be hosted in your house.

Dear Sabrina and Josie!
Thank you very much for such a lovely stay in Torquay. Not only have I improved my English a lot, but also I have learned a lot about the history, politics and other countries! That was especially because of the perfect dinner times with you both.
It was a great pleasure staying in Villa Pasqua especially because Sabrina and Josie are very friendly, chatty, welcoming, clean and open minded. Not forgetting the delicious food! I felt like at home during my 6 weeks stay.
Best wishes and hope to see you both in the future!
Take care,

Dear Sabrina, dear Josie
Thank you so much for having me at your beautiful house. Each dinner was such a pleasure and delight, no only because you are an excellent cook, Sabrina, but because we also had extremely interesting discussions about politics and of course all sorts of topics.
It is too sad that the two weeks are already over, but whenever I've got the chance I will come back!
I wish you all the best
David
This was my first stay in the UK on an homestay and I must say, Sabrina and Josie set the bar high in their Villa Pasqua.
I was staying with my hostesses for one week and I was really happy that they were able to accomodate me on short notice.
Sabrina and Josie are wonderful, friendly, helpful, amazing, open-minded and knowledgeable women. They made me feel right at home from the first moment.
The dinners with them and the other guests were a highlight every evening - the always fresh prepared meals anyway.
The house and my oak suite with in-room bathroom were very nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. The location was perfect for me, very close to the Riviera English School and to the town centre.
I wish, I could have stayed longer in Torquay and definitely at Sabrinas and Josies homestay. I would highly recommend this homestay.
Thank you both so much. Take care.
Best regards
Volker
Beautiful house, big room, good food, very clean and (most important!) amazing people! I loved it to stay here for three weeks in April/Mai 2016. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for all you ever do for me Sabrina and Josie!!!

I spent two weeks at Villa Pasqua in August 2015. As I hadn't had a closer look at the website before, I was positively surprised about this wonderful house with its luxurious rooms and well-kept diverse garden.
But most of all I was amazed about my two friendly, heartful, open minded and intelligent hosts! At dinner we had a lot of interesting, inspiring and joyful talks in a friendly, nearly familiar atmosphere. I learned a lot of interesting facts about English history, the educational situation of British optometrists, British pop music and TV comedy Sabrina’s cooking was delicious and she even adapted it to my dairy intolerance, thank you very, very much! Furthermore she was a caring host in all situations, accompanying me on my first walk to school, being helpful when it was raining and ever interested in my daily experiences - a little bit like a true Italian mum. ;-)
I will keep my first visit to Torquay and stay at the Villa Pasqua in good memory and am excited to read about the new rising star in the theatre sky in the near future. ;-)
Kind regards,Ralf
I have spend three wonderful and funny weeks in Villa Pasqua. It was my second time here in Villa Pasqua and i felt very happy.I loved my room with TV (OAK Room)and is definitely my favorite room :-).
This house is very close to the Riviera School and Town.The Food was every evening fresh and excellent. I had very enjoyed. Thank you so much for delicious cooking Sabrina :-)

Dear Sabrina and Josie
How time is running… However, I want to thank you cordially for everything you have done for me. I enjoyed my stay at Villa Pasqua very much and the interesting and hilarious conversations at dinner have helped me to get more familiar with the English language.
A huge thanks especially for the big surprise at my birthday! It was a big pleasure to celebrate my birthday with you, Tracey and Conchita. And the fantastic food and handsome blokes at the greek restaurant were kind of extra benefit ☺
I have fond memories of my stay at Torquay and Villa Pasqua and I’m going to keep them in mind thoroughly.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you again somewhere sometime, who knows…
Monica
Dear Sabrina ! Dear Josie!
What can I say?............
1st : Thank you!
2nd : Thank you, again!
3rd : It was a pleasure for me to stay with you last Week. New Impressions about your Country and a very warm Home

to get an new Input about the People where there live and the Opportunity to talk about everything what really happens
in the World, in English of course!
You as my Host Family have setting a very high Standard of Fairness and Hospitality.

Being vegan was a burden to conquer but you mastered it great! Thanks a tone to have accustomed to it, which enabled me to spend my two weeks with a host family!
Our evening were great, all the great food, the laughs, jokes and talks we had..... what a great time!
I'm already looking forward to staying with you two again! Everyone who is allowed to stay with you can call him/herself lucky!!

But the best were the evenings. You always took your time to prepare a nice dinner (very good food) and have interesting discussions with us. So we could improve our English while enjoying our holidays.
We wish you a lot of great encounters with new students and
hope to see you again

Our short stay (14 days) in Torquay was great! We really missed nothing and felt free. The Villa Pasqua is new and very nicely furnished. Each room has its own toilet and shower and there’s even a whirlpool in the garden. The well-tended garden has different spots to stay for a short time. Because the weather was always good, we used the opportunity to do the homework there (We went to school in Torquay). It rained only once in two weeks.
The food we got there was always fresh and home-made, it was usually Italian and we really enjoyed it. We always had an interesting talk during and after the dinner.
The centre of Torquay is very close to the Villa Pasqua; it takes only about four minutes on foot to get there. The way back is a bit longer as it goes up the hill.
Our hosts were very interesting, open-minded and helpful people to stay with. We felt extremely …
Everyone who can stay there is very lucky! We are looking forward to meeting each other again and wish Josie & Sabrina all the best.
Dear siajbanireso,
(since I realy didn't know which name to take first, I decided to just take a random mixture of both of your names :-)),
(Sorry, but I can'T continue like this with the text).
These three wonderfull weeks I spent in your house have now gone, definitely.
What a shame!
I felt here like (now I can use what I learned at school!) it was sth. with "home" -- let me look up "home" in my own dictionary on my laptop....ah! here: "nothing to write at home about", no, no, no, it's the wrong hit! just a minute! "next hit": Yesss! That's it!: "a home away from home", right!
Your house was my home away from home! Sounds nice and is absolutely "SPOT ON" (another new phrase)!
I just won't forget our nice "meetings" in your lounge after dinner, when we were talking about everything and had a lot of fun.
I also felt very comfortable in my room when I was working for hours.
I was surprised to get such a good food in England!
Sorry, but I had heard quite bad things about english food.
OK, could be still true in general but here the cook is Sabrina and she knows some good tricks.
I'm not going to discover more here, check it yourself;-)
You'll be surprised, no, now not any more...
Both of you have contributed a lot to making the best out of my stay here.
Dear Josie and Sabrina,
Thank you so much for the wonderful time here at Villa Pasqua.
I felt comfortable from the first moment - everything was perfect.
It was not just your warm and welcome beautiful home - it was the friendly atmosphare and the inspiring conversation which we had at the delicious dinners.
In short - a perfect place to relax after a long day at the language school.
Very best whishes - see you ;-))
Stephanie
Dear Josie and Sabrina,
thank you so much for everything, I had a wonderful time! I so enjoyed staying with you and felt very welcome and at home from the first minute. I love your house and "my" room, just perfect to relax after a day at the language school and how lucky was I to be able to do my homework on the sunny seaview-patio! And always the prospect of a delicious dinner with great conversation and fresh herbs from your own garden - my favourite two weeks of this year :-)

And thanks for that great food...wonderfull!!
I hope see you in Spain and be able make a Spain Paella for you!!

How time is running… However, I want to thank you cordially for everything you have done for me. I enjoyed my stay at Villa Pasqua very much and the interesting and hilarious conversations at dinner have helped me to get more familiar with the English language.
A huge thanks especially for the big surprise at my birthday! It was a big pleasure to celebrate my birthday with you, Tracey and Conchita. And the fantastic food and handsome blokes at the greek restaurant were kind of extra benefit ☺
I have fond memories of my stay at Torquay and Villa Pasqua and I’m going to keep them in mind thoroughly.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you again somewhere sometime, who knows…

What can I say?............
1st : Thank you!
2nd : Thank you, again!
3rd : It was a pleasure for me to stay with you last Week. New Impressions about your Country and a very warm Home
at Villa Pasqua. I guess it was necessary to come back after almost ten Years, not only to improve my English but also
to get an new Input about the People where there live and the Opportunity to talk about everything what really happens
in the World, in English of course!
You as my Host Family have setting a very high Standard of Fairness and Hospitality.
I wish you the Best and all your Dreams will come true ! Vineyard in France or South Africa? Who knows?
Take care and hope to see you again!

What a great time!! I enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you sooooo much for vein able to spend this great experience with both of you (and Tracey). You're both awesome people and so much fun to be with.
Thanks for the great room I was able to stay in and the lovely house you keep so well.
Being vegan was a burden to conquer but you mastered it great! Thanks a tone to have accustomed to it, which enabled me to spend my two weeks with a host family!
Our evening were great, all the great food, the laughs, jokes and talks we had..... what a great time!
I'm already looking forward to staying with you two again! Everyone who is allowed to stay with you can call him/herself lucky!!
Bacione,
Sandra
Best wishes and thanks for everything.

The house is beautiful and cozy and my room was big, clean and confortable. We had good food every day and we told a lot during dinner time, it was very very funny.
Thanks Josei and Sabrina for every thing, and I look forward to seeing you soon in Barcelona.
Dear Josie
We would like to say a big THANK YOU fort two wonderful weeks in your house.
Your kindness, helpfulness, generosity and hospitality are incredible. We felt so comfortable with you. And we miss you already� also the two sweet cats�
Your house is so big and beautiful and so are the rooms too, very roomy and cosy. All was very clean and tidy and we got all we needed (even more!).
But the best were the evenings. You always took your time to prepare a nice dinner (very good food) and have interesting discussions with us. So we could improve our English while enjoying our holidays.
We wish you a lot of great encounters with new students and
hope to see you again

I would like to thank you for three wonderful weeks that I have past in Torquay!
Your house is amazing, near the school, very comfortable! I loved my room (Oak Room), it is really spacious and cozy.
Thank you for prepare lactofree meals for me. Receive this kind of attention was really important!
I need to write about the food because it is special in Villa Pasqua: everyday we had delicious dishes! Risotto, lasagne, salads...hummm
You are friendly, warm and I welcome! I was really happy there!
When you come to Brazil, let me know!
Hugs,

Thank you so much for the wonderful 2 weeks here at Villa Pasqua. I felt very comfortable from the first moment and everything was perfect in your house. The whole house is very clean and i enjoyed my bright big room with a large bed :-). Every evening i enjoyed very good and fresh food. Thank you Sabrina for cooking!

Many thanks Josie :-) I very enjoyed friendly, warm, helpful, funny People and atmosphere in your house.
Many thanks Josie and Sabrina for everything and great compliment :-)

The food we got there was always fresh and home-made, it was usually Italian and we really enjoyed it. We always had an interesting talk during and after the dinner.
The centre of Torquay is very close to the Villa Pasqua; it takes only about four minutes on foot to get there. The way back is a bit longer as it goes up the hill.
Our hosts were very interesting, open-minded and helpful people to stay with. We felt extremely …
Everyone who can stay there is very lucky! We are looking forward to meeting each other again and wish Josie & Sabrina all the best.
(since I realy didn't know which name to take first, I decided to just take a random mixture of both of your names :-)),
(Sorry, but I can'T continue like this with the text).
These three wonderfull weeks I spent in your house have now gone, definitely.
What a shame!
I felt here like (now I can use what I learned at school!) it was sth. with "home" -- let me look up "home" in my own dictionary on my laptop....ah! here: "nothing to write at home about", no, no, no, it's the wrong hit! just a minute! "next hit": Yesss! That's it!: "a home away from home", right!
Your house was my home away from home! Sounds nice and is absolutely "SPOT ON" (another new phrase)!
I just won't forget our nice "meetings" in your lounge after dinner, when we were talking about everything and had a lot of fun.
I also felt very comfortable in my room when I was working for hours.
I was surprised to get such a good food in England!
Sorry, but I had heard quite bad things about english food.
OK, could be still true in general but here the cook is Sabrina and she knows some good tricks.
I'm not going to discover more here, check it yourself;-)
You'll be surprised, no, now not any more...
Both of you have contributed a lot to making the best out of my stay here.
Thank you so much for the wonderful time here at Villa Pasqua.
I felt comfortable from the first moment - everything was perfect.
It was not just your warm and welcome beautiful home - it was the friendly atmosphare and the inspiring conversation which we had at the delicious dinners.
In short - a perfect place to relax after a long day at the language school.
Very best whishes - see you ;-))
Stephanie
thank you so much for everything, I had a wonderful time! I so enjoyed staying with you and felt very welcome and at home from the first minute. I love your house and "my" room, just perfect to relax after a day at the language school and how lucky was I to be able to do my homework on the sunny seaview-patio! And always the prospect of a delicious dinner with great conversation and fresh herbs from your own garden - my favourite two weeks of this year :-)

Dear Sabrina
For all the days, I have had a big smile on my face because I felt very happy in your family and in your beautiful house.
When I was back from school, you gave me the time to talk and to practice my English.
The dinner was every evening delicious...(Lasagne..mmmmh) special thank, Sabrina!
Thank you very much for all your friendliness. I will miss you!!!
Love
