- Why do we ask you to contact us after booking through Abritel, and to receive and accept our house rules before confirming your booking?:
Because some malicious individuals make requests that are completely unrelated to what we offer (number of people not respected, plans for parties, etc.).- Are you flexible with arrival and departure times?
Yes (we live next door). Upon request, we welcome guests at any time from 5:00 PM (earlier when possible) for arrivals, but for our cleaning schedule, the latest departure time must be respected. Only upon request and with our agreement, we may be able to advance the arrival time and/or advance or postpone the departure time (without any obligation on our part). For weekend stays (2 nights), check-in is from 5:00 PM and check-out is around 5:00 PM (other times are possible upon request).
- Do you personally greet guests?
Yes, we always greet guests for key handover and the inventory check, which we complete together.
- Can we contact you by phone before booking?
We are sorry, but many people ask us for phone contact for more information, but unfortunately, the Abritel website prevents us from communicating with you, and it is not possible for us to see your phone number through this site until you have booked. After booking, we can provide you with all the information you need, and you can always cancel if it doesn't suit you.
- What is our strength and what sets us apart from other rentals? Unlike houses with multiple bedrooms where bathrooms and kitchens are shared, at "Mas des Lucioles la Gaude" you can choose to be together in the 65 m² common room with its kitchen, TV, projection screen, etc., or enjoy complete independence with your family in one of the fully equipped apartments in the same house.
