ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
HEATING – Heating is available at an additional charge of 30,00 Euros per day and must be paid directly on the spot to the owner or his/her representative before departing. Please note that heating in Italy, when not subject to restrictions by the local Government, is more expensive compared to other countries. If you are looking for a property in the low season, make sure to ask for an estimate of the heating cost. You may be asked for a supplementary deposit for heating expenses.
WATER AND ELECTRICITY – Please note that most of the properties that we offer are not the typical purpose-built Mediterranean holiday villas. Most are converted farmhouses or former manor houses, full of character and history. Water shortages do occur; please use it sparingly during the summer months. At the same time, Italy is probably one of the few countries in the world where the government has introduced a system of electricity limitators to contain national consumption. This means you must be careful when using more than one appliance at once because the limitator will shut the electricity off.
