There may be other guests leaving the house the same day that you arrive or the same day you leave and the cleaning crew has to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

About the fireplace: Please be extremely careful if you use the open fireplace in the living room, this should be done only by adults and must be attended at all times. You must leave the room open for ventilation and be sure there is no furniture or clothes near the flames as they may easily catch fire. Do not burn garbage, oils or plastics, it is dangerous and will leave bad strong odors in the house. This same recommendations apply when using the charcoal barbeque outside and the firepit.
About candles: DO NOT USE CANDLES. The floors inside and terraces are cover with handmade terracotta tiles and wax drippings are extremely difficult to clean. Please use the LED candles we provide if you want to create a romantic fell. Any costs for cleaning wax drippings will be deducted from your deposit.

About the upstairs shower: Instead of a regular cold and hot water controls you have on the left the control of flow (more or less water) and on the right a knob to set the temperature you like. There is an additional knob to direct the water to the fixed overhead or to the hand-held one.
