Long-Stays

We're excited to offer our property for long-stays, available monthly from mid-September to mid-May! Ideally, we would like to rent the whole period to one family; however, we will consider monthly rentals. The hot tub will be available, but the pool will be closed during this period.

As a long-stay guest, you'll be responsible for the utilities consumed —gas, electricity, and firewood. You will only pay for what you use.

We manage the utility bills and pay the standing charges from the utility companies: water, TV license, internet (50 meg), council fees, and refuse collection. Bills are calculated monthly in arrears, making it easy for you to control your expenses.

Villa Ariola is well insulated and features modern heating, but, being a spacious home with high ceilings, winter fuel bills can be significant if not managed well. 

These figures are from January, February, and March 2025. They give you an indication. The gas-fired heating was programmed for three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening. The Log fire was used occasionally. Obviously, your bills will depend heavily on the temperature you require in the house and the weather outside. The heat pump runs on electricity, providing AC in the summer and heating in the winter (only in the bedrooms). It is less efficient when the temperature drops below zero. Log fires are a lot of work, but they are definitely the cheapest way to heat in cold weather, and I personally love heating the house with the fire.

The long-stay guest pays the variable charges.
LPG € 137 / month
Electricity €35.30 / month
Firewood € 30 / month
Previous Monthly Total €202.30

We pay the fixed monthly charges.
Enel quota fissa €30.06
Water €12 / month
TV licence €9 / month
Internet 50 meg € 36 / month
Council & Refuse €42.58
Monthly Total €129.64

Final Cleaning Fee €180
Laundry charge for all bed linen, throws, and towels € 85
Total €270

I will require one month's rent paid in advance plus a returnable deposit of 2 months' rent to cover bills and damage/breakages.

Reach out to us before booking. We must speak on the phone before you book. We look forward to talking to you! The pool will be closed until June.
Cheers, Bill.
