Frequently Asked Questions
Security Bond, Cleaning Fee & House Rules
Itemised on your booking shopping cart, and due to Covid 19, a cleaning fee is payable on all bookings. A security bond is mandatory and payable on booking to secure your dates. The balance is due 5 working days before arrival. The bond is fully refundable post checkout within 10 working days, pending observance of the House Rules. House Rules Details You Must Read. When booking for a group, please ensure everyone reads these rules. You don't want to be stuck being penalised for one of them :)
When can I check in?
We are very flexible with check in and out times. Most of the time the house will be ready first thing in the morning, and late check outs are common. This makes us stand out from the crowd where you are OUT by 10am on the dot!
The exception to this is when we have back to back bookings in which case check out
is at 11am.
Can extra people stay?
The house can accommodate eight guests. Please note, unless otherwise stated, rates are based on four guests.
Only the number of people who have booked are permitted to sleep in the house. Due to strict Covid 19 cleaning protocols, other bedrooms will be locked. Booking additional guests once you have arrived at the house is possible. See Security Bond and House Rules. Or see www.trybooking.com/YCAN

• Bread and any food you will eat.
• Layers of clothes inc. hat, scarf, gloves, sox, closed shoes, jacket
• Homecooked Italian Meals for our additional meal options available for purchase.
