For Your Protection

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONARY PROVISIONS *

We no longer “require,” but still prefer and “request” that our guests are Covid vaccinated, for the protection of all concerned.

As an extraordinary precautionary measure,* so our valued renting guests can be, and feel, utmost safe and protected while staying at an AC-Views home, BOOKINGS MADE FOR CASA PACIS, BELLA VISTA, AND ALTA VISTA WILL USUALLY RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES:

  • 24-HOUR SPACING BETWEEN HOUSE OCCUPANCIES: We try to avoid back-to-back rentals and leave the premises unoccupied for a minimum of 24 hours between rentals; but we do occasionally facilitate same-day turnovers.

  • DEEP CLEANING: The housekeepers will include diligent deep cleaning; our vacuum cleaner is equipped with a HEPA filter.

  • MINIMAL BEDDING: The most problematic items from a hygienic/safety point of view have always been blankets. The bedding we typically supply consists of a freshly laundered fitted sheet and a light-weight comforter in a duvet that is laundered before each rental.*** Details here.

  • REMOVE BEDSPREAD: We advise out guests that the decorative bedspread and pillows, which they may find upon arrival on top of the beds, are “for appearance only” and are not intended for bedding and should please be removed upon arrival and deposited in the closet for the duration of the rental.

  • REMOVE DUVET & BRING YOU OWN COMFORTERS: We continue to RECOMMEND** to our guests to bring their own comforters or blankets for bedding.*** If you do so, kindly roll up our duvet, which is underneath the bedspread, and place it also in the closet or wardrobe.**** (We as owners have been practicing this for many years for our own visits: we roll up our down comforters and pillows, in sleeping bag fashion, and put them on the rear seat in our car, and our first action after arrival at our vacation destination — or a hotel — is to roll up the existing bedding, put it in the closet, and place our own bedding on the bed. It’s a small inconvenience with the HUGE benefit that we can then sleep in our very own comfortable bedding).
    (Of course, this is all voluntary, and especially when you come from far away, this is totally impractical and never expected). **
    Note that the master bedrooms in our homes have a CA King-size bed. One other bedroom in Alta Vista and Bella Vista has a Queen bed.

  • TOWELS: We provide one set of towels per rental per person. Our guests are welcome to use more from our supplies, but we then request that they launder these extra supplies before departure.***

  • When you depart, do NOT re-make the beds; leave the rolled-up bedding in the closet, so the housekeepers know you did not use it.

  • LAUNDRY: We ask that, on your departure day, you please put at least one load of our sheets and towels you used in the washer and start the wash cycle. NOTE THAT WE HAVE TWO WASHING MACHINES at Casa Pacis and Bella Vista, and two dryers in Alta Vista and Casa Pacis.
    (This would not only save valuable housekeeping time but, more importantly, protect our housekeepers In the remote circumstance that you are, unknowingly, infected with Covid or a similar challenge).

Thank you for your cooperation.

———————————————————

* If you are not fully vaccinated, please communicate this to us, so we can take best additional precautions at our end, as deemed appropriate to us.
** Please note that this is a “recommendation” only.
*** We understand that, for some guests, this is impractical, and we most certainly do not wish to impose such an inconvenient policy.
**** At Alta Vista you may find the duvet sandwiched between two flat sheets that are laundered between rentals while, in that case, the duvet is only laundered less frequently.
