Does the house have a laundry?
Each house has its own Washer, Dryer, Ironing Board and Iron; complimentary washer tabs are supplied but you would need to bring extra or buy locally.
Does the pool need to be heated?
If you wish to swim, you should be aware that these are outdoor pools and therefore subject to nature’s elements. In our experience almost all guests would want the pool heated during the months of November through to March. October and April can be marginal but generally need to be heated also; the rest of the year the pools would not need heating. Pools are heated to an internationally accepted standard of between 82 and 85 degrees. You may however wish to have the spa (where appropriate) heated even during the summer, this can be arranged separately.
