Final cleanings have an extra cost, which depends on the size of the various apartments and it goes from 10 euros to 50 euros.

As the cost of energy (heating cost) is very high in Italy, and to avoid that you will be unpleasantly surprised when settling your bill, we decided – against the usual practice here in Tuscany – to enclose the cost of “normal” energy usage during the cold season, which is from mid-October to the end of April. Only on very cold winter, for the apartments with fireplace, the wood needed for the fireplace itself,  will form a small additional cost,which will be determined at the time.

On request we can supply a child’s bed (cot) and / or a child’s (higher) chair (both free of charge).

Then the use of a washing machine, ironing board and iron is included in the price. All will be supplied in the common laundry room.

Moreover the use of the apartment towels outside of the apartments (e.g. pool) is not permitted.

If requested, where it is possible, we could supply one or two additional bed with a cost of 10 euros a person a day. The sofa-bed is to be considered an additional bed too and (where are present) it could become either two single additional beds or one double unique additional bed. Of course, all with the relative addition of bed-linen and towels for bathrooms.

We also offer the possibility of Wine Tastings at a cost of 15 euros a person.
