Can anyone tell me what is happening at Da Donato's near the water tower. One of our favourites..maybe just closed for renovation but will be sad to see it change too much as it had a really good atmosphere.

Thanks everyone for that information. The Maid has now agreed with the Management Company that she does not expect any more wages until she returns to work. She has been paid 2 months already. It all seems a rather complicated system with no set rules. We hope she will be getting some compensation f...

We like her very much and would be sad to loose her. The temporary maid is not quite so good
