Descripción
With the help of her nephews and the three Espada sisters, Aunt Lola will open the doors of Colonel Charlebois' majestic Old House to visitors from all walks of life. But they will soon realize that running this small hotel is not as easy as they initially thought. And even less so when everything seems to indicate that there is someone trying to sabotage their plans!
Could Aunt Lola and the children discover who is behind the plan for the bed & breakfast to fail? Will Aunt Lola's family and friends manage to organize a surprise birthday party for her in the colonel's own house without her suspecting anything?
