● We live on-site with 2 guardian dogs (a maremma sheepdog & a maremma/border collie). They will more than likely make their way over for a quick visit during your stay. They're well-trained & very friendly. ● Bring water to drink (the water here is from a well; it's fine for showering & doing dishes). ● Located on an island. Access is by drive-on ferry. Getting on costs $10/vehicle but leaving the island is free. There are only houses on the island so please plan your trip accordingly. Be sure to bring all your groceries with you!
