House rules

No pets. No smoking indoors. Parties, stag and hen celebrations and events with outside guests are not permitted. The pool is unsupervised: supervision of children is the responsibility of the occupants.

Stays with very young children

The house is an old building: stone staircases, changes of level, open terraces and a pool at ground level. It was not designed for very young children, and we are not able to adapt it.

If your stay includes a child under six, we ask you to contact us before booking, so that we can describe the layout of the house to you in detail. The decision to come is yours; we simply want you to make it knowing what the house is like.
