Rules

In the Villa there are few rules, unchanged for decades, which are the rules of education and civil life of our family.

Below is the list of these rules, which must be followed by all guests of the house, without exception, and which will result, if not followed faithfully, in the immediate removal of anyone who does not respect them.

1) In the morning, when you meet for the first time, you greet each other and say good morning.

2) It is forbidden to go around the common areas bare-chested or in any case wearing inappropriate or disrespectful clothing for others.

3) We all have lunch together between 1.00 p.m. and 2.00 p.m., barring unforeseen circumstances, and we have dinner between 8.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m.
It is not permitted to consume meals outside of these times.

4) You don't talk with a mouthful in your mouth and basicly we follow the galateo rules.
