Let me begin by saying the property was exceptional. I'm a retired airline pilot and have stayed in a number of villas, hotels, with the hospitality business. The check in and check out procedure has you contact the property manager and schedule an appointment with him. Don't bother, All he wants is for you to sign the information sheet that you have checked in and out. Oh by the way, the info sheet on the villa is in German. Don't count on a warm and welcoming feeling while you stay there. You will be penalized for exceeding the daily Kw hour electrical consumption as well as not using linings in the garbage containers; as well as not cleaning the grill after use. There are do not touch signs around the property warning you that the alarm is on. You will also have to bring toilet paper, paper towels, bar soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap , bug spray for the flies, etc. This is one of the finest properties on vrbo that you will find. Just be prepared for the little things that will become a "burr in the saddle".
