Questions about arriving
Our flight lands at noon. Can we come early?
The houses are ready at 16:00. Leave your bags in our farmhouse and have lunch in the village or at the cove.
We arrive late at night.
That is fine. We text you the key box code on the day and leave the gate light on.
Can you do a food shop for us?
Yes. Send a list a week before and we fill the fridge at cost.
What do we do on the last morning?
Strip the beds, run the dishwasher and leave the keys on the table by 10:00. No need to clean.
Ask about a week on the hill
Tell us the villa, the Saturday and how many of you. We reply within a day with the free weeks and the price; nothing is booked until you confirm (sample).
