Pets - terms and conditions

Also be advised that this villa is a pet friendly countryside house that accepts up to 3 pets from our guests.
The owners have one very friendly white cat that lives outside, but sometimes gets into the house during daytime where he takes a nap. The cat has his own space outside where he gets food twice a day and also fresh water. Guests do not need to feed him but may pet him if they wish as the cat is very sweet. We also appreciate that guests don’t leave food, or any leftovers, outside as this may attract other pets from the neighborhood and can become a nuisance and a problem.
