May we contact you by phone?
 
We speak an understandable English, we just require you to speak very slowly, using simple and clear words. Giulia speaks also French and an understandable German.
We ask you to contact us by e-mail: it is the easiest way to correspond at you questions. If you want to speak directly by phone this is possible but not advisable for our first contact or for setting any agreement. Anyway if you want you can ask us our phone numbers. At the time of your stay you will have all the phone numbers necessary to have any type of assistance.
 
Which is your refund policy in case of cancellation?  
 

We can not refund the deposit paid if you are going to cancel the reservation. We can not refund the entire amount paid in case of cancellation within six weeks. Anyway in such cases we try to have a friendly approach trying to give the opportunity to recover the amount paid according a further reservation during low season periods in Ca' Lisciano or Marsala Apartment in Bologna. We will refund all money paid if something as a result of force majeure or any other occurrence outside our control shall oblige us to cancel our agreement. You will be responsible for informing us of any complaint and allowing us a reasonable opportunity to remedy the problem during the rental period; failure to do so will void any claim following the rental period. Occasional problems to Internet connection or other technical appliances do not constitute an adequate cause for a refund.
To prevent any scam, exceeding amount erroneously paid shall not be returned without due warrants.

 
Can you give us some services in the house during the stay?  

 

You will find the farmhouse clean and tidy and linen and towels will be available as the whole housing equipment. You are required to leave the rooms clean and tidy as you found it and no extra fee is required for final cleanings. Weekly maid service is included if your stay is longer than a week. In case of emergency, a person of our staff will be available for helping you.
 
 
What can you do in case of an emergency?
 
We are not organized to give you a prompt solution in case of emergency and for this reason we strongly recommend to purchase a trip insurance before your arrival. This can also be useful in those cases prohibiting the depart from your home (a classic feared event in every family: the last minute fever of a child). For any problem arising on the use of the apartment you have just to contact Paolo and leave him a reasonable time to solve it.
 
 
How can I get more information about your rentals?

 

Paolo's Facebook page collects many people who have appreciated our rental service; you can visit it and ask friendship if you are interested to maintain the contact with him or just a window on our rental issues. Paolo's blog "Archirent News" is also a place you can visit and get information about topics of the managed properties. We are proud to offer a positive vision of tourist rental. Administrating apartments is not our sole profession but the way to allow us to maintain our familiar properties offering also a serious professional service to third parts.

Your place looks fine but don’t you think a swimming pool would enhance its value?

 

Our place is absolutely genuine; pieces of furniture are those of the owner’s family, all the context calls for a standard of living simple and faithful to the local traditions. In our canteens there are still the old vats used for generations. A swimming pool would have represented something excessively de-contextualizing. The sandy beaches of Palm Riviera are only at half an hour by car. Ca’ Lisciano is a place for tourists aiming for contemplation, traditions, culture and silences. After a stay in Ca Lisciano, we suggest a stay in our Trullo della Luna if you do want a relaxing stay aside a swimming pool without loosing those aims.

 

 
 

Is there a danger due to earthquakes?

 

Actually Apennine Mountains are particularly risky by this point of you. If you exclude Apulia and Pianura Padana all the rest of Italy is under the threat of an earthquake. If you consider the map of the seismic risk of Italy you will see that few places are reasonably free from this threat. Actually Lisciano is normally classified as “medium risk area” even if relatively close to the area of Gran Sasso, which is one of the most active in our peninsula. There is also another factor: most of the architectonic heritage of the past has not been built with modern technologies, which can prevent serious damages. Ca’ Lisciano doesn’t make exception. Anyway the theoretic risk level of staying in Lisciano, as shown in most of the maps, is the same you have staying in Siena or Florence. In any case we can’t accept any liability in the unforeseen case someone has any type of damage by geological, atmospheric or radiological effects or for causes not directly under our direct control, in the same way as in any other places you can find for rental in Italy.

 
 

Is there the possibility to go trekking in the wild nature of the surroundings?

Yes, there are plenty of tracks and beautiful natural sites to visit on daily tours, once for all Colle San Marco. Also biking can be fun. We know someone who will be able to guide you for a daily trek up on our mountains. Just ask for information if you are interested.

 
 
Will we meet in person once in Italy?

 

Normally this will not happen: Paolo goes to the various properties just to supervise the organisation or for emergencies but consider we delight to meet our guests in our home in Bologna, so if you think to visit not only Marche but also travelling to Bologna, please contact us: accordingly with our other working tasks, we may find a little time for having a chat, an ice-cream or even a lunch together. At Ca' Lisciano you'll have assistance through our local staff. We just administrate the rentals in Ca' Lisciano and also the owner, Fabrizia has her home in Bologna. It would be nice to meet all together.
 
 
You require us to send a fax. What can we do if we have not a fax machine?
 
To finalize the booking process we require to have the contract signed back to us. Normally the fastest way is using a fax machine but if you a have difficulties to find such type of machine you may scan the signed printouts of the contract and send them as attachments by email. If you are booking far in advance you may also put the signed printout into an envelope and post it to our address by snail mail; in this case you have to let us know it as the delivery takes normally some days.
 
  We would like to pay the entire rental amount on arrival, is it possible?
  Actually not. We require a 50% deposit to be paid through credit card on-line process within a week from booking. In the case of last minute deals we are ready to consider any particular arrangements to fix any problem with the booking/payment procedure. For these reasons late minute deals are for us more expensive and some extra fees may be applied. Due to our organisation last minute deals don't represent a reason for offering a discounted price.  
   
  Is there a parking place?
 
Yes. We have the parking space on the back of the building for one or more cars. The parking is enclosed into the Ca' Lisciano property but not in a fenced area. So you are invited not to leave items of great value into the car. No extra fees are requested for using it. The car is absolutely a necessary if your aim in mind is to visit the surrounding amenities.
 
   
  Is the garden for our exclusive use? Is there a barbeque? Is there heating/air-conditioning?
 
The garden is for your exclusive use. There is an always-ready barbeque and all external equipment for relaxing moments (see our photo gallery). The kitchen-living room is directly facing the garden. All rooms are heated so winter stays are possible. In the kitchen-living there is also a fireplace where barbequing is acceptable also in cold seasons. There is not the air conditioning but being Lisciano up on a hill (415 metres above the sea level) rarely the weather is really hot.
