Covid 19 cleaning guidelines for guests

We recommend: Bringing your own linens, towels, and furniture coverings. Although everything has been cleaned with the appropriate products, if you still feel uncomfortable, please consider covering them with your own linens. We provide a tablecloth. IMPORTANT: Please do not use any cleaning products on the furniture, including the antique dining table which has an aged patina. Nothing but mild soap and water (NO BLEACH) and a gentle cloth should be used on it. Removing your shoes when entering the property and leaving them at the entrance (if possible, outside).
