We run a certified organic farm. We produce organic extra virgin olive oil and organic honey that, if you wish, you can buy directly from us, as well as wine from our cellar.
You can leave plastic bottles, glass bottles, and paper in the marked recycling containers in the recycling area. Leave the trash in the gray containers outside the gate. Please drink our water, which is drinkable, so as to use fewer plastic bottles! Please, if you smoke, do it outside the house.
When you leave the house: please turn off all lights – please close all windows and shut all doors.
Make sure to check that the windows are locked as the wind here can sometimes cause them to open. This also prevents any potential break-ins…. Make sure the garden lights are off during the day. When it’s warm, it’s best to close the shutters, which will keep the house cool.
The windows are made with a special thermal glass that will retain heat if left closed when you are not there.
Please use the white plastic cover under the tablecloth when setting the table. Please shower before using the pool.
Please leave plastic and glass in the designated containers located outside.
