— A few gentle rules

The house asks a little of you.

Finca Lavanda is small, hand-built, and quietly off-grid. None of what follows is heavy — it is the way we have learned to share the place so that everyone, including the next guest after you, has the same soft welcome you did.

Arriving & leaving

We’ll meet in person whenever possible. If you’re running late, we can also arrange for a key box.

Check-in 16:00 · Check-out 11:00

Quiet hours

Music inside is welcome at any hour. Outside, please keep voices low after eleven.

After 23:00 · Before 09:00

No smoking indoors

Smoke clings to lime plaster and linen. There is a ceramic ashtray on the south terrace; please use it, and don’t leave butts in the garden — they kill the lavender.

Outside please

The pool

No glass on the deck. Children under 10 with a grown-up only. The skimmer is by the lavender bed if you spot a leaf.

Gently used

Water matters

The house drinks from a 12,000-litre cistern, refilled by spring rain. Long showers are fine; an hour-long one isn’t. The large garden is not watered across its entire area — that would be a huge waste of water.

We are off-grid

Sun powers the house

Solar covers everything in a normal day. On overcast days, high-power devices (washing machine, hairdryer, dishwasher, oven) should be used thoughtfully.

Battery refills at dawn

Rubbish & recycling

One bin under the sink for general rubbish. Plastic, paper and glass can all be separated — the dedicated recycling containers are next to Venta La Raya.

Bins at the main street

Well-behaved dogs

A calm dog is more welcome than most humans. Please let us know in advance, keep them off the linen, and don’t leave them home alone for long — the goats next door object loudly.

If something breaks

Old houses move. Doors swell, taps drip, the front gate sometimes sticks. A small mishap is not a problem — write or call us. We only ask that you don’t try to fix it yourself with tools from the shed.

Tell us, gently

No big parties

The finca is built for the four of you and a few invited friends for a long lunch. Larger gatherings, photo shoots, and events need to be agreed in writing before you book.
