We have a permit for 4 households of normal electricity. To be sure that you do not go over the allotment, and loose power temporarily, it is wise to turn off lights, air conditioning, or other appliances when not in need. You may experience a power outage while in Italy during a storm or other related interferences, which is fairly normal in Italy and elsewhere in the world. Also, the telephone system can also experience outages at times, which is also fairly normal in Italy and elsewhere in the world.

For your convenience there are also wood stoves and fireplace inserts for additional heating. Please understand at time electrical outages may occur are totally out of our control. If your experience a problem such as this, please contact our property manager who will report it to the authorities immediately.

We cannot make refunds due to happenings such as these during your stay.
