Villa Thalassa/ecology

The tap water in Villa Thalassa is high quality and 100% drinkable. There are glas bottles in every room to fill up, as an ecological and inexpensive alternative for plastic bottles from the supermarket. Please collect the used espresso capsules in the recycling canister intended for them. Please throw the toilet paper into the bin beside the toilet and not (!) into the toilet, because the ecological sewage system in this region of Crete is not made for toilet paper and would clog up. The bins are emptied almost every day. Roomservice is available until 1pm, if you prefer your privacy, you can renounce it. The cushions and outdoor mattress for the stone benches on the terraces of the rooms Sunset and Sunrise can be found in the space under the mattress of the bed. To access them, pull up the mattress with the small plastic handle on the foot-end of the bed. Please close all windows when leaving the room. Please also turn off off the lights, ceiling fan and air conditioning when leaving the room.
