Electricity and water consumption

The price includes normal use of electricity and water. Guests agree that unnecessary use of electricity, such as not switching off lights, air conditioning units and/or other electrical appliances, will be avoided in their absence.

Guests are aware that there is a serious water shortage in Andalucia and agree that excessive water consumption will be avoided. If the water supply is unexpectedly limited and/or disconnected by the (local) government, we cannot be held liable for this.

For sustainability, electricity and water use is monitored. Guests are aware that excessive consumption of electricity and/or water may incur a surcharge.

Shared outdoor living

You won't be staying in a standard holiday home but in a charming, small-scale casita, directly connected to our own house. Here, you'll enjoy peace and a personal atmosphere, without other guests around. We, the owners, are present to ensure that your stay is as pleasant as possible, offering both independence and a warm, homely ambiance!

Around the property, you’ll find several terraces, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and our seasonal plunge pool. Please note that all outdoor areas are shared spaces, which we, as the owners, also use when we are present. We kindly ask you to enjoy these areas with the same care and consideration you would in your own home, so everyone can make the most of them.
