LOCAL ASSISTANCE:
Saran Propiedades are our local managing agent. Their office is located across the road and to the left of the apartment, as you leave the front door, at Local No 7, Tramontana I (at the end of the colonnade across the road).
The office is usually open on Monday – Friday from 10.00 to 13.00 and in the post-siesta period and on Saturdays in high season - check opening times on door of office where details of an emergency out-of-hours contact number will also be found.
Messages for you can be left with them - there is no phone in the apartment, but there is a public call box about 100 yards from the front door to the right as you leave.
Saran will assist with any problems you may encounter and also have a key to the apartment in case of emergency.
AT THE APARTMENT:
There are two locks to negotiate. The Chubb lock and the Yale style one. Both should be used if you are going out. Although a safe and friendly island, summer visits from thieves have been known.
Behind the front door are the electric mains switches. Throw the mains switch for everything to come on, but individual switches are labelled in case of difficulty. If the fridge does not come on, check the socket switch behind it.
The cleaners should have moved the balcony furniture out onto the balcony, and the sun loungers out to the front patio (loungers marked K4). Please bring in covers to save from damp and sudden winds.
Feel free to use up any food/drinks etc left behind by previous occupants and any sun creams, shampoos etc in main bathroom. I
f any are time-expired goods, please throw these out. If any basics run out during your stay (e.g. sugar, salt etc) please ensure a replacement supply. Take care to clean up after every meal/snack ants are constantly on watch.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Water is not drinkable - it’s OK for cleaning your teeth or washing salad, but buy bottled for drinking (hot or cold) and ice cubes. Whilst there will be sufficient hot water for your needs, please schedule use of the showers to avoid too much demand within a short space of time.
If the flow of water from the taps is low, unscrew the filter on the end of the spout and remove the inevitable grit which accumulates therein. This should solve the problem.
In each bedroom, is a plug adaptor suitable for the insertion of “tablets” to kill off any overnight mosquitoes. The tablets should be found under the sink in the kitchen – Baygon or Bloom brands effective and recommend their use nightly in occupied bedrooms. Please remove the plug when you arise in the morning, to prevent overheating, (as this causes burning of the paintwork and sockets) and ensure there are some “tablets” left for anyone arriving after your departure. Do not leave windows open as this encourages flying visitors.
Golf:
Son Park is a 9 hole golf course and is approximately 10 mins drive.
Other Activities:
Bird watching, boat hire, boat trips.
