Rentals of one week or greater will have a complimentary weekly maid service. We do not permit towels or linens to be taken from the house.
Swimming Pool
Attention: Please be careful when using the pool, especially after consuming food or alcohol.
Please always be careful when the floor around the pool is wet to avoid slipping.
Children are not permitted to use the pool without adult supervision. The pool is not fenced. When using the pool, remember there are risks associated with this facility. Use at your own risk.
Fireplace: The fireplace is wood-burning. Guests must ensure that any fires are out before leaving the house or going to bed.
ΒΒQ
There is both a wood/charcoal and propane gas ΒΒQ: During the summer (late April- late September) and especially on high wind days, only the propane gas BBQ is permitted for use.
The guest must ensure that flames are extinguished and the propane valve is turned off when not in use.
In all the above uses, guests must ensure that fires are completely extinguished before leaving the property or going to bed.
Water and Septic:
Although water is drinkable and high-quality, guests are free to decide if they will drink it.
The house is on a septic system. The septic system is effective but will clog up if improper material is flushed.
Please do not throw toilet paper or other items - like feminine hygiene products - which could block the sewage system. The plumbing pipes in Greece are too narrow to deal with paper, so you could cause a blockage right away.
Check-out procedure
Prior to check-out, guests we ask you kindly do the following:
- Empty the fridge and freezer of any food items.
- Turn off all lights, fans and air conditioning.
- Be sure that all doors and windows are locked.
