Useful information about our properties

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.
