MOST IMPORTANT POINTS
The house is located in the very heart of the village within the ancient historical centre. Houses are embedded in one another and noise can travel far depending of the winds. The deep calm of the village can not at any point be disturbed by excessive noises from the garden. During the very hot summer days village people in the South all tend to open their shutters at dawns to let cool air inside and often keep windows open throughout the night.
Therefore the following points must be acknowledged prior to booking our property so you can fully relax and enjoy your stay:
NO NUSIC to be played outside and particularly around the pool area day or night.
Whilst the little ones ( and older one's too) can fully enjoy and have a great time in the pool & the trampoline, all excessives screams must be controlled and addressed by the parents.
If you fancy a midnight dip in the pool we will encourage you to do so but NO jumps, cannonballs, ball games or loud conversations.
And whilst some can fully appreciate the silence and the beautiful bright night sky, the night owl can have a great time inside the house playing pool, board games and enjoying a night cup without disturbing anyone sleeping upstairs or our friends and neighbours.
It is paramount that the above points are understood and followed.
1/ The swimming pool is heated from Early May until End of September.
2/ Flying drones is very regulated in France. It is therefore prohibited to fly drones in our garden without specifics authorisation by local authorities.
3/Please let us know if you come with electric bikes as charging them indoor can be a fire hazard.
