Notes on accommodation
Shuttered, double-glazed, well-insulated house remains cool in summer. Mobile air conditioning unit for living room, fans in bedrooms. No smoking, please, inside the villa. The garden is totally enclosed with lockable gates; however, as the villa is our home for 48 weeks a year, equipped and furnished to a high standard and not toddler-proofed, it is not really suitable for guests with children under 5. The following items are provided: washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets, hand soap, kitchen rolls, toilet paper, salt, pepper, herbs and spices and many other useful household condiments and consumables. A welcome pack (tea, coffee, milk, sugar, butter, wine, orange juice, baguette) will be waiting on your arrival. Additionally we can get in a little extra shopping for you, if you would find it helpful.
