Further Information

Services:
Electricity is on mains with a limit of 6.0 kw – normally ample for year-round use. Gas is from external tank and serves central heating, hot water boiler and cooking rings. Water is from artesian well and, subject to prudent summer use, has always been dependable and is excellent for drinking.

Equipment, fittings, furniture:
Ample provision has been made for up to twelve people.  Two sets of sheets, pillow cases and towels are provided. (Towels are not to be taken to the pool – swimmers should bring their own towels.)  There is a washing machine provided for private laundry requirements.  Most beds have mesh nets over for those susceptible to insects, but this is not normally a problem.  Blankets are available but are not generally required in the summer.  Television, including satellite and DVD facilities, available in both downstairs and upstairs living rooms.  There is also a sophisticated audio system downstairs.  Telephone and internet connection is available, but visitors are urged to bring their own mobile phones and computers.  It is assumed that visitors will be prudent with the house's telecommunication equipment, which is provided with the rent.

Caretaker:
The caretaker’s team comes every Saturday to clean the house and every fortnight will change the bed linen. On Saturdays when there is to be a change of occupants, departing tenants are requested to LEAVE BY 10am and new tenants to ARRIVE AFTER 4pm to allow the team time to prepare for the next arrival.  Visitors are required to remove all rubbish (incl empty bottles) on a regular basis and ensure all receptacles are empty at departure.  Bins are provided by the council along the roadways.  The external areas are also kept tidy on a weekly basis, and the swimming pool will be checked regularly; generally the pool operation is automatic, but it would be appreciated if visitors could check the pool surface on a daily basis and remove any debris with the net provided.  Although the main part of the garden is automatically irrigated, in high summer we would also be grateful for brief daily watering of courtyard trees and shrubs and the vegetable garden in the evening or early morning.

Insurance:
All visitors are advised to consider insurance needs in relation to travel, accident, medical and personal cover; the owner, Topmost Consultants Ltd, can not accept liability for any accident, injury, loss or damage sustained by visitors.

Payment:
50% of the total rental is payable as deposit on acceptance of booking. The remaining rental will be paid no later than two months before the let.  Each payment will be made in Euros, or other currencies to be agreed, by banker’s remittance to a bank account to be notified in Italy.  If the booking is cancelled at any time, the net proceeds of a re-let, if available, will be refunded, up to a maximum of 80% of the total already paid.
