We want you to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing holiday.
All we ask is that you take care of Villa Franca and its spaces, treating them with the same respect you would show your own home, and following these simple house rules.

**1. Taking care of the house**
Please treat the house, its furnishings and all equipment with care, and let us know promptly if you notice any damage or malfunction. If you need to move any furniture for your convenience, we kindly ask you to put everything back in its original place before check-out.

**2. Number of guests**
The house can accommodate a maximum of 4 guests. Additional guests are not permitted without prior approval.

**3. Parties and events**
Parties, events or any activities that may disturb the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood are not permitted.

**4. Quiet hours**
Please respect the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood, especially during the evening and night, by keeping noise and loud music to a minimum.

**5. Swimming pool**
The swimming pool is for the private and exclusive use of our guests. Please use it responsibly and never leave children unattended. The pool depth ranges from 150 to 180 cm.
Running around the pool or using glass objects in the immediate pool area is strictly prohibited.
Please be aware that the flooring around the pool can become particularly slippery when wet, including from water splashes during swimming. Always take care when moving around the pool area: walk carefully and avoid running, jumping or making sudden movements.
We recommend wearing flip-flops when getting out of the pool and walking around the wet poolside. However, please remain careful, as the floor can still be slippery even when wearing footwear.
Please also take particular care when entering or exiting the water and always supervise children.
Before entering the pool, please rinse off any sand or salt using the outdoor shower provided. We also kindly ask you to avoid applying sun creams or oils before swimming.
Any damage resulting from failure to follow these instructions may be charged to the guests responsible.
To help keep the pool clean, a convenient pool-cleaning robot is available for your use at any time during your stay. Please handle it with care and carefully follow the instructions we will provide to ensure it works properly.
Should the robot be damaged due to improper use, compensation will be requested in proportion to the actual damage identified and documented.

**6. Garden and outdoor areas**
Please take care of the garden, outdoor furniture and equipment provided, and put everything back in its proper place after use.
In particular, please remember to move the sun loungers off the lawn in the evening, as the automatic irrigation system runs during the night.
The garden is maintained weekly by a gardener, usually on Friday mornings, to ensure that the outdoor spaces remain tidy and pleasant throughout your stay. The visit lasts no longer than one hour and is carried out discreetly, with respect for your privacy and the tranquillity of your holiday.
In the outdoor areas, especially during the warmer months, you may come across bees, wasps and other insects. This is a natural presence that cannot be completely avoided. Please take care, particularly if you have any allergies or sensitivity to insect stings.

**7. Smoking**
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house. Smoking is permitted outdoors, but please use the ashtrays provided and never dispose of cigarette butts in the garden.

**8. Waste sorting and recycling**
As a matter of common sense, hygiene and respect for local regulations and for everyone who uses the house, we kindly ask you to separate your waste using the designated bins and dispose of it according to the local recycling collection schedule and the instructions provided in the house.
It is a small gesture that helps keep the house clean and pleasant for everyone.

**9. Air conditioning and heating**
Please switch off the air conditioning and heating whenever you leave the house, and keep doors and windows closed while these systems are running.

**10. Toilets and drains**
To avoid plumbing problems, please do not flush toilet paper, sanitary products or any other items down the toilet. Please use the bins provided instead.
If a blockage occurs due to improper use of the drains, the actual cost of the necessary drain-clearing service may be charged.

**11. Countryside surroundings**
Villa Franca is surrounded by the peaceful countryside. We kindly ask you not to leave crumbs or food scraps inside the house or in the outdoor areas, as this may attract insects and wild animals.

**12. Washing machine**
The washing machine is available for washing your personal laundry only. Please do not use it to wash the bed linen or towels provided by the house.
Should any of the house-provided linen be damaged, compensation will be requested based on the actual damage and the corresponding replacement cost.

**13. Bathroom mats**
The bathroom mats are intended for indoor use, next to the shower. Please do not take them outside, so that they can be kept clean and in good condition.

**14. Barbecue**
The barbecue may be used with care. After use, please leave it clean by emptying the ash and removing grease from the grills.
If you prefer not to take care of the cleaning yourself, we kindly ask you to leave €25 to cover the cleaning service at check-out.

**15. Damage and lost items**
Please take care of the house and all the equipment provided, paying particular attention to more delicate items such as the pool-cleaning robot, household appliances, remote controls and indoor and outdoor furnishings.
If anything is damaged or lost during your stay, please let us know promptly.
Compensation will be requested in proportion to the actual damage or replacement cost, duly documented and in accordance with VRBO procedures.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep Villa Franca a pleasant and welcoming place for everyone.

**We wish you a wonderful holiday in Sardinia!**
