the final clean.You can change the bedding during your stay if you wish but

to wash the bedding that you are replacing so it is ready for
the next guests. Alternatively book an extra maid visit
during your stay.
Q:Villa rental prices?
A:We are very competitive, but please do not get
caught out by some of the cheaper villas. Cheap means cheap. Try
and avoid

try our best to offer you wonderful accommodation at a very reasonable
price. And
don't forget we are backed up by excellent Management Agents.

Q:When do we take out the Trash/Rubbish?
A:There are two collections per
week. It is usually collected early Monday and Thursday morning. You can put
it out
the night before but the wildlife/raccoons, can get to it. Please DO
NOT feed the raccoons, it will only encourage them
to come looking in the
bins for more food, which they then tip over. The trash collectors will not
pick up the contents
of an over turned bin. On a few occasions where guests
have arrived at the Villa to find trash/rubbish all over the front
garden.
So please dispose of as much trash as you can before the end of your stay,
by making full use of the trash
collection days nearest the end of your
vacation date. Thank you.
