Indoor Areas

The Villa is completely furnished and decorated; it should therefore be left in the same condition after the guest's departure. The guest should at all times act carefully with the furniture and equipment and should not touch or move the art and paintings.

Any furniture, linen and towels out of the house should not be taken into the garden. Special garden furniture and pool towels are available for outdoor areas.

When leaving the Villa the guest must lock the doors to the apartments/rooms, switch off the lights and all electrical appliances (TV, air-conditioning, gas stove...) and turn off the taps.
