🏡 Property Features:
- 🔲 Layout: Single-story house (60 m²) with no interior steps or level changes.
- 🛋️ Common area: Spacious 32 m² dining-kitchen-living area allowing for easy movement.
- 🛏️ Bedroom: The bed height is 50 cm from the floor to the top of the mattress.
- 🚿 Bathroom: Walk-in shower (144×70 cm) equipped with a sliding screen.
- 🌅 Outdoors: A 16 m² porch on the same level as the house, and a parking area located right in front of the entrance.
⚠️ Physical Restrictions and Architectural Barriers:
- 🚪 Doorways: Doorway widths are narrower than standard regulatory accessibility measurements.
- 🔄 Manoeuvring space: Some areas do not have the turning radius required for comfortable wheelchair manoeuvring.
- 🛗 Support elements: The property is not equipped with grab bars or safety rails (e.g., in the bathroom or entryways).
- 🚫 Access: The entrance from the outside of the house has a few stairs and does not have an access ramp.
- 🌾 Surroundings: Being a rustic countryside house, the outdoor terrain surrounding the property is natural and uneven.
House rules and coexistence
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house and in the garden. However, it is permitted exclusively on the outdoor terrace. We kindly ask that you always respect the surrounding natural environment.
- 🚽 Septic tank: The house features an ecological wastewater system; therefore, do not flush personal hygiene products or plastics down the toilet.
- 🥛 Potable water: The tap water is safe to drink, although it has a high limescale content. For this reason, it is better to use bottled water for drinking and for electrical appliances, as limescale can damage them.
- 💧 Water saving: Water is a scarce resource in our country. Thank you for using it responsibly.
As this is a country house in a natural setting, there are no rubbish bins on the property. Guests must manage their own waste, and dispose of it at the recycling points located at the entrance of Palafrugell, Llafranc, or Calella.
⚠️ It is very important not to accumulate garbage bags inside the outdoor storage shed or outside the house, to avoid attracting animals and causing bad odors.
