GAS/ELECTRICITY/WATER
Due to the significant increase in the cost of gas, electricity and (drinking) water, we are forced to ask you to avoid waste.
Therefore: 3 abundant showers a day or doing the washing machine with 2 t-shirts are unjustified. Same as the air conditioning turned on with the windows open or when you are on the beach.
We count on your common sense !

STARS
Stars are given to the property itself, not for the distance to the beach. The price of a one star property near the sea could have the same price as another property with 3 or 4 stars but further from the beach.

ECONOMY - Typical holiday accommodation, functional and equipped with the necessary. For the tourist for whom the price is more important than luxury.

list_special VALUE - Holiday property with more attention to furnishing and equipment.

DISTINCTIVE - For the more demanding tourist, where quality and comfort are a priority. A good choice for families with probably space for meals outside.

SPECIAL - Particularly well-looked after property, attractive and comfortable, further attention given to equipment and outside spaces.

EQUIPMENT:
All villas are provided with
- (Italian) TV
- almost all have a freezer compartment over the fridge
- all have hot and cold running water
- a gas cooker with a gas or electric oven (if otherwise stated)
- if there is a washing-machine, dishwasher, airconditioning, internet or microwave, it will be indicated.

Beds are provided with:
- spring mattresses (sometimes foam rubber or dunlopillo)
- mattress covers
- pillows with pillow covers
- counterpanes.
Waterproof mattress protectors are not provided but can be requested.

We try to provide everything necessary for a given number of people in the way of kitchen and dining equipment. Small electrical appliances are NOT provided (hoover, filter-coffeemachine, hairdryer, mixer).
Please ask if something important to you needs to be in the house.
