"We booked this villa 5 months before staying. I asked him 5 months in advance if the pool was private and he confirmed it was. Fast forward, 5 mths, were are in Italy and 48hrs before our stay, we received a message from the owner, which I couldn’t believe and was shocked by, he told us there were “swimming pool rules” and he would “check about (our) sun creams” and they can’t contain “silicon oil..:::because they ruin the liner of my swimming pool”. He informed us to have a “shower before to swim every time”, we couldn’t use the pool if we had sweated, pool opening times and then informed us of a list - “no glass food or dishes from the house in pool area, i like my guests when they use their swim suits and i suggest to wear the pool sleepers, no cotton or t-shirt in the water, if you don't use slippers, wash under your feet after been walking on the grass….no inflate beds or things if they are not necessary to swim, no splash no splash championship and absolutly no bomb splash! ...we have to keep the water in the pool not outside”. He also informed us he uses the pool and “the common parts of the garden (parking area, tennis table, entrance way) and the swimming pools have video surveillance systems to know about any accidents, damages and know if guests are respecting my property”He informed me he sent this rather long message to all his guests, so this provides a pre-warning to all families with small children wishing to book. He should put this in his VRBO ad"
