Therefore, a few rules apply during your stay: 1) Except for phones and laptops, do not plug in any electrical devices other than those provided on site, as this could damage the solar system. It is therefore not possible to use, for example, your hairdryer, a hair straightener, or a raclette grill. 2) Wastewater is filtered by plants: you are asked to use only the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dish soap). 3) Dogs are allowed in the accommodation for an additional €30, provided they are clean. Maximum 1 dog per stay. It is forbidden to allow your dog on the bed, or to leave it alone in the accommodation when you are not present. Outside, it must be kept on a leash at all times (other animals are present on the premises). If your dog is wet, please dry it before bringing it inside. Any damage will be subject to an additional charge.
