The following is normally available to guests:

  • 1 high chair free of charge
  • 1 travel cot free of charge, including an inner mattress

Cots are provided without children's bedding, bed linen or towels, so guests are asked to bring their own items for children aged 0–2.

At some properties, only smaller dog breeds are permitted due to the nature of the property, its furnishings or the owner's requirements. Other apartments and houses do not allow pets at all, for example to protect the interior, maintain a high standard of accommodation or accommodate guests with allergies.

A refundable security deposit is always required when staying with a pet. Its amount may vary depending on the property and number of animals. The deposit amount and any other conditions are always shown during the booking process and in the detailed description of the property.
