TERMS OF RENTAL
HOUSE RULES
Furnished Holiday Rental
This is a short term furnished holiday rental and not a tenancy agreement. You agree that the address provided on registration is your permanent residence.

The property sleeps a maximum of twelve guests, including all adults and children of all ages. There can be no exceptions to this rule. Additional visitors are permitted during the day but not in excessive numbers and they must not stay overnight. No parties or events without prior permission from the owner or manager of the property.
Insurance
Please remember to take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, luggage, health, etc. The property owners take no responsibility for damages or accidents of any nature occurring within the boundaries of the property, its pool or use of any facilities and equipment.

As a courtesy to the people arriving after you, please replace whatever you use. At the end of your stay, please make sure that all washing up is done, even those items in the dishwasher. Please clean out the fridge and dispose of any perishables.
Exterior safety
Children must be overseen at all times – but in particular around the fountain and swimming pool.
The swimming pool has an electrically-powered cover for security and to conserve water and electricity – this must be closed whenever the pool is not in use. Please ensure your group is all water-safe or, where young children are concerned, they are supervised by a responsible, water-safe adult at all times. The use of the swimming pool is entirely at your own risk. No glass or breakables are allowed in or near the pool.
The pool is closed from the start of December until the start of April.
Whenever they are not in use, and if it is windy, please make sure that all parasols are down and secured closed with their straps. The mistral can blow quite suddenly without warning and airbone parasols can cause injury and damage.
