Useful information about our properties
Welcome, dear guest. In order for you to feel at home in your holiday rental
and to ensure you are ready for a great holiday, we have put together an
information page about the properties in general.
Linen/Towel
Please bring your own linen and towels. If you would like to, you can rent
linen and towels from us in our
customer area
on our website. Access information to our customer area is detailed in our
contract. Linen for one week costs 10 €/week and towels are 5 €/week per person.
If you are staying two weeks, then the price is halved for the second week. This
service however is not offered for all of our properties. In order to find out
if this service is available, please check the information under the
calculate price
link on our website for individual houses.
Kitchen
All of our properties are equipped with general kitchen utensils.
There are ample plates, glasses, pots and pans to provide for the number of
people indicated by the maximum occupancy of the specific property. Generally,
wine glasses and other less common utensils such as cheese graters, garlic
presses etc are not categorized as general kitchen utensils and thus
must be brought with if you intend to use them.
Most houses have an espresso machine as is typical in this region. If there is
a coffee machine it will be noted in the accessories part of our house description.
Kitchen towels are not provided, unless you have ordered towels through us.
Otherwise it is your responsibility to bring one.
If the property has a automatic dishwasher, it will be noted in the accessories
part of the house description.
Grill
If there is a grill, it will specifically be mentioned in the appropriate
part of the house description (barbecue). If the description states that
there is a grilling possibility, this means that grilling is allowed but does
not necessarily mean there is a grill present.
Charcoal grills are customary in Italy, but this does vary.
Garden furniture
The outdoor furnishings for the terrace/balcony/garden generally includes
chairs and a table. If there are sun beds or other furniture beyond what was
mentioned above, it will specifically be stated in the appropriate part of the
house description. Cushions for the sun beds are not provided for reasons of hygiene.
Washing machine:
A washing machine is not categorized as general equipment. If there is one on
site, it will specifically be noted.
Specific features of a property:
Should the house have any specific feature such as a pull out staircase
or a very steep driveway it will be noted either in the house description,
in the special features section, or will be visible in one of the photographs
of the house.
Parking
If there is a parking area associated with the house, this will be noted
in the description of the house. Should you have a larger than normal vehicle
(van, bus etc), please talk to us before your arrival so we can make plans to
accommodate the vehicle.
Fenced lots
Should you need a property which is fenced in, please talk to us beforehand.
Pets
Generally pets are allowed if „Pets upon request“ is in the description.
This does not mean that all pets are allowed and we do require information
(what, how many) about the animal(s), as we will still need final approval
from the landlord of the house.
Extra Costs
Energy costs are generally more expensive here than in the rest of Europe.
If there are any extra gas or electricity costs it will be noted in the
contract, as this can vary from house to house as well as from season to season.
Heating costs(if any) are always charged separately.
Electrical outlets/adapters:
For grounded plugs (3 pin) you will need an adapter in Italy. These are
generally available in some supermarkets here in Italy, but it is advisable
to purchase a suitable adapter for your electric appliances before you arrive.
Garbage:
Garbage is generally sorted beforehand and is divided in 3 categories.
Green containers are for general garbage, blue containers are for paper
and cardboard and the beige containers are for plastics.
These containers are normally found periodically spaced on the side of the street.
Should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us or

frequently asked questions
