House rules Upon arrival, leave all your worries Behind. Give in to our motto: retox. Detox. Relax. The Annex is a non-smoking property. If you are a smoker, please smoke outside; we have ashtrays in the white cabinets on the terrace Please keep consumption of all food and beverages to the kitchen, living/dining room and poolside. Poolside beverage service is glass free. You can find glassware suitable for succulent wine and cocktail consumption in the white cabinet on the terrace. There are pool towels available in the treasure chest in the grand hall. Bath towels are provided separately in your assigned bathrooms and/or rooms. We strive to be green, so please be conscious and please reuse and recycle. The keys given to you are for group use. A replacement fee of €150 will be charged should you lose them. In case of fire, there are extinguishers and fire blankets located in the kitchen, hall and upstairs landing. An escape ladder is also behind the latch door in the upstairs landing. Should you want to curl up by the fire, ask us if you need help. The electric shutters in the hallway and living room are an original feature that we'd like to preserve. Leave them open at all times and just enjoy the view. We love all our design details and products and took great care in selecting only the best.

There will always be a light on at night to welcome you back home. No need to worry about switching anything on. Please feel free to enjoy our Sonos system, utilizing your OWN Spotify or Apple Music account. DO NOT change the names of any speakers, alter any configuration or settings. Doing so creates hours of work for us and takes away the pleasure for future guests. And gives you the pleasure of having to pay for our time. Help yourself to what is in the pantry. If you do, please pay it forward and replenish. We couldn’t bear the next guests not having the pleasure of plentitude as you did. The Annex is secured with cameras for your protection and ours. They are not monitored, merely there to ensure that everyone and the villa is safe and sound. Breakage and damage can happen. Should this occur, please let us know.
