Feux d'artifice non autorisés. Silence extérieure à respecter à partir de 22h.
Une location NON FUMEUR
Nous demandons à nos hôtes de bien vouloir respecter la consigne NON FUMEUR dans les intérieurs comme stipulé dans le contrat et à l'entrée de chaque espace de vie. De nombreux cendriers, et pots remplis avec du sable pour les mégots sont mis à disposition en extérieur.
Savoir consommer avec MODERATION
Les beuveries ne sont pas les bienvenues dans ce gîte! Nous invitons les consommateurs occasionnels d'alcool à ne pas boire dans l'espace de la piscine afin d'éviter tout risque de verre brisé dans l'eau ce qui pourrait être dangereux pour les baigneurs. De même dans le jardin où les enfants aiment à courir pieds nus.
