Heating: switched off from 1 April to 1 November (Italian regulations). Sustainability: Please switch off lights and appliances when leaving or opening doors and windows. We are in a National Park — every small action matters.

Environmental note: the property is located right on the cliff edge. At certain times of year, especially in spring, Velella (Velella velella) — small marine organisms — may appear along the coast, a sign of a clean sea. Their presence can occasionally produce a slight organic scent in the air, entirely natural and temporary.

Small and medium-sized dogs welcome (non-dangerous breeds), €70 supplement. Lead required in common areas; not permitted on beds and sofas.
