Mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches and other insects are endemic in warmer climates, particularly in rural areas. Villas are treated at the start of the season with an ant repellent; however it is not 100% effective. The only way to keep ants at bay is to have a zero tolerance approach to food crumbs. Mosquitoes can be kept at bay by a good repellent purchased either in your country or the local chemists/supermarkets. Many of the villas are surrounded by scrub-land and neighbouring gardens and field mice and other rodents are therefore common. Local dogs are also often left to roam abroad, and general are kept outside. All these types of aggravations, together with late night noise are unfortunately unavoidable and out of our control, we therefore ask for your patience when they occur. None of our villas accept pets and we ask you not to encourage the local wildlife by supplying food and water during your stay.
