House rules Borgo Poggio dei Fiori

Rules. Who wants to hear them? I'd rather not, but there are a few. I try to exploit an eco-friendly resort as much as possible. That also means that from 2025 you can count on fresh products including vegetables and fruit from our food forest. Everyone is free to walk through the food forest and the garden. If you are interested in the background, the planting and the permaculture methods, I will be happy to give you a tour.

Waste

That means that we like to separate our waste into:

  • Plastic
  • Food leftovers
  • Paper and cardboard
  • Organic waste

I am mainly interested in the organic waste that you can dispose of on our compost heaps. I collect it myself at a central location. This compost is returned to our food forest during the annual maintenance in the winter months.

Arrival and departure time

You are welcome from 4:00 PM on the day of arrival.

I kindly request that you plan your departure before 10:00 in the morning in connection with cleaning work.

I currently do not ask for a deposit and would appreciate it if you make careful use of the available facilities. Before departure, please check your apartment again so that you do not forget anything.

Please discuss any special wishes.

Events, peace and quiet

There is no room at the Borgo to organize large parties or events, other than with the group you are staying with. We ask everyone to respect silence and rest after 23:00 in the evening.

Children

Children are welcome in the apartment "Mare" on the first floor where a sofa bed offers the possibility to stay with a maximum of 4 people and the apartment "Olive" where a 2nd bedroom is available with 2 box spring beds that - if desired - can be placed separately.

Due to the presence of a swimming pool (1.40 m deep), we accept children from 6 years old. If one of your children is younger, please contact me in advance. Under all circumstances, sufficient swimming skills and optional armbands are required when using the pool.

Use of facilities

Washing and ironing

We have a laundry room with washing machine available for normal use (once a week). If you want to wash more, please contact me personally or leave a voluntary contribution in the "tip jar" at the reception. I can then regularly replenish detergent and fabric softener.

Communal toilet

There is a communal toilet on the outside terrace. Easy. Then you don't have to walk to your apartment every time. I try to keep it clean as much as possible every day. If you miss something, please let me know

BBQ/Swimming pool/Hob

Please take other guests into account as much as possible when renting separately.

We only have BBQ facilities available on the outside terrace with plastic cups and wine glasses.

Please do not use glass in and around the pool.

Communal area/Library/Wine bar

You will find our communal area on the complex. I use the kitchen myself to prepare aperitifs and other snacks. In consultation I can provide a meal. Kitchen use by guests only in consultation. All apartments are completely self-sufficient.

In the library you will find books, which you can of course read freely if you are interested. If you have any nice books yourself, you can always leave them for other guests.

In the wine bar you will find a collection of beautiful and tasty wines, which are available for a fee. Would you like to take a nice batch of wines home with you? I can recommend a number of attractive winegrowers in the area, where you can buy them directly.

Pets

We allow pets after prior consultation. You are responsible for your own pet. I prefer not to have very large dogs and certain breeds because of our other guests.

Pets must be house-trained and you must bring your own food bowls, baskets and sleeping facilities.

Hope to see you soon!
