During your stay
Linen/towels/Cleaning
Your bed linen and towels are changed every 3-4 days, and the kitchen and bathrooms cleaned. The cleaners arrive between 1100 and 1600. We have a large number of apartments under management and approximately one-third of them to change in that time, so bear with us if it seems a large time window! Cleaners do not do the washing up.
If you do not need fresh towels or bed linen, just let our cleaners know.
Cleaners are not responsible for the removal of garbage or emptying the dishwasher.
Beach towels may be hired from Staysitges at a cost of 3€.
Noise & disturbance
Apartments under our management and care are often in residential buildings and, while you may be on holiday, other residents in the building may be working, we ask that you respect this and take reasonable care of the property and its contents.
If StaySitges receive complaints from other residents or the Communidad (building administration) they may and can ask that you vacate the accommodation, without any recompense, immediately. If the Communidad complain to the police, they may take a far firmer line, not only removing guests from the apartment but throwing them into gaol while the complaint is investigated.
Accidental damage, lost keys, wear & tear and costs
Damage
Where and when we can StaySitges will make reasonable efforts to correct faults and deficiencies in the accommodation but weekends, public holidays and out of working hours this cannot be guaranteed and we ask you to bear with us or help us all by accepting any reasonable alternative or temporary solution that we will try to deploy to mitigate a situation.
Accidents happen!! If something untoward does happen to you during your stay in one of our apartments that results in damage or injury then please inform us as soon as possible.
An appropriate charge will be made to your credit card for any more serious accidental damage, or to cover any costs incurred as a result of unreasonable neglect, theft from or abuse of the property. This is extremely rare, and 99.5% of bookings do not result in further charges.
Keys
A spare key is held at the office, , loss of keys result in our having new keys cut and therefore a charge incurred. Please be careful with your keys. Please DO NOT leave keys in the back of the door as this means the door can not be opened and results in an expensive locksmith callout.

Air conditioning
Most of our apartments have air conditioning. We would ask that you switch the air-conditioning off when you leave the apartment, as it is very expensive in terms of water and electricity and the environment. All the a/c units are new, or under 4 years old, and are serviced on a maintenance schedule regularly and very effective in cooling rooms in 5 to 10 minutes.
Electricity, gas and water
All amenities are included in the cost of your apartment. Occasionally Sitges is prone to power surges in the electrical supply and you may experience a slight flickering of the lights or a short duration power cut. This is quite normal. A power surge may cause the trip switch on the fuse board in your apartment to operate. This just has to be switched off and then on again. You will be shown where the box is.
The water supply in Sitges is good, though we would recommend you do not drink the water. Again, sometimes there is a variance in water pressure. Occasionally, should everyone in the building be using showers simultaneously, water pressure drops and there is insufficient pressure to ignite a gas boiler or in a block with central hot water there may be no hot water remaining. We suggest you leave the shower for 5 to 10 minutes then try again.
