(No) Smoking policy
Please respect that this entire complex has STRICTLY NO SMOKING policy. This includes balconies and the pool area. Thank you.
Electricity
Electricity is VERY EXPENSIVE in Cyprus. A couple of years ago there was an
explosion at the power station and the cost of the damage is being recouped at the
residents expense with vastly increased electricity rates. We would like to ask you,
kindly, to be very mindful of electricity consumption, especially the air conditioning. If
run all day and night the electricity bill will run into hundreds of pounds per month so a one hour operating limit has been set.
We would therefore ask you to be mindful about lights and air conditioning and particularly
not to leave the air conditioning running in the property if you are outside with the doors
open. Air conditioning should not be used at night as very effective ceiling fans have
been installed in both bedrooms. Full instructions of how best to use the air conditioning
and fans will be available in the apartment.
Cleaning
The property will be cleaned prior to your arrival and after your departure. However, you should leave the apartment in good condition with all rubbish removed.
The owner reserves the right to deduct an additional amount for cleaning from the deposit if the
apartment is not left in a clean condition.
Special requests
We will always do our very best to help with these provided they are made well in
advance of your stay. Please email [email protected] with any requests.
Complaints
In the unlikely event that you have a complaint about the apartment or its contents whilst
on holiday, it must be reported immediately to the local property manager who will
take steps to resolve the matter. We will have no liability for any complaint submitted
after completion of the hire period.

illness suffered by you or any other person occupying the property booked by you.

articles retained at the property are kept there at the guest’s risk.
