Please send a message saying how many you actually are! The upstairs dining table and the balcony patio tables sit 8 people comfortably. More than that and you have to squeeze. Shoes are prohibited in the house. We have a large selection of slippers you can use; or bring your own. Please don't put drinks on the oiled wood surfaces. The barn has a big boiler- however it takes a while to reheat and larger groups need to stagger showers (ideally some in the morning and some the evening). The internet modem is connected with a SIM card. Mostly it is good and at other times it is really slow. We are waiting for a broadband connection but it is not yet available. We offer no refunds if it is slow or not working. If you are staying in the winter then you must make sure your car has winter tyres and snow chains. The road up to the barn is on quite a steep hill and if it snows the road becomes slippery. Rent a 4X4 if you are staying at a particularly snowy time. The heating is set to 20C, and we also have two Stube (the traditional wood heaters), they give off a lovely heat and make the rooms warmer. We fill them in the morning and evening (instructions in the house manual). The heating is set at 20 degrees. If you want it hotter; either use the Stube or you can pay for the extra heat: €10 per day for each degree. Let us know and we can arrange the details. There is a high cleaning fee. This is because the availability of cleaners is limited in the mountains and we have to leave two days on either side of the booking to accommodate this. For bookings of one week or more there is a 15% discount which more than covers the cleaning fee. Registration Details IT025014B45U2VQD9R
