CHECK-OUT TIME

Check-out time is strictly 10am. Should you require a later check-out we will do our best but you need to let us know beforehand. If we have guests arriving that day it will be almost impossible to offer a late check-out due to the cleaners needing to prepare for those guests. In that case, you can spend as much time as you like at Sunday Hotel in Ixia (near the airport) using the pool area for free. (Pool and shower towels provided at the reception). Directions provided on next page.

CLEANING

You will find the house clean on arrival but please let us know if you are not satisfied. For stays of 1 week there is no cleaning service. After you depart our cleaners will perform that for the next guest. If you are here for two weeks there will be one clean, usually on the middle of your reservation dates. They have a key and will access the house at some point during the day, but not before 10am. If you need a cleaning service more often, please let us know and we will arrange this. An extra payment will apply. On departure it is very important to leave the house (particularly kitchen contents and bbq/grill) clean and tidy. No need for you to perform a full clean! Attention! If you leave behind unwashed dishes or garbage you could be charged with extra cleaning fees.

ABOUT THE ACCOMMODATION

APPLIANCE INSTRUCTIONS / INFORMATION

AIR CONDITIONING

Our home has the benefit of air conditioning. Every bedroom has its own AC unit easily handled by remote controls that are located on the bedside tables. Please ensure that all windows and outside doors are closed whilst the AC is running to ensure it operate to maximum efficiency. We recommend a setting of [72F / 22C] which we find keeps the place sufficiently cool. Please acknowledge that operating AC units in lower temperatures for many hours continuously will damage the units causing expensive repairing costs as well as not being able to enjoy it until a specified technician fixes it. That could take more than a day.

You can use the AC units to warm efficiently every room.
