Galini & Halcyon

Induction hob: touch the power symbol to wake it, select a zone, then slide up to your heat level. Induction only works with magnetic pans — all the pans provided are the right type. It heats very fast, so start lower than you would at home. The surface locks if liquid spills on the controls — wipe it dry and it resets.

Combi oven (with built-in microwave): this single appliance does both jobs, so there is no separate microwave.

· To microwave: select the microwave mode, set the power level and the time, then start.
· To bake or roast: select the fan-oven mode and your temperature, and give it about 10 minutes to pre-heat.
· Combi mode uses both together for faster roasting — handy but optional.

Please use only microwave-safe dishes in microwave mode — no metal or foil — and be careful with the door and interior, as they get hot in oven mode.

Nespresso: lift the lever, drop in a pod, close it and press the cup button. Dishwasher tablets and a starter set of coffee, tea, salt, oil and sugar are provided.

Galini has its own washing machine and tumble dryer — no need to go out.

Detergent is provided. Load the drum, add detergent, choose Cottons 40°C for a normal load (about 2 hours) or a Quick programme for a fast wash.

The dryer works the same way — the everyday setting is Cupboard Dry. Please clean the lint filter after each use; it dries much better that way.

Apple TV: turn on the TV and select the Apple TV input. Sign in to your own Netflix, Disney+ or YouTube account — and please sign out again before you leave.

Galini has two LG units — one in the bedroom, one in the living area — each with its own handset.

To cool: choose the snowflake mode and set around 24°C. To heat in cooler months: the same units heat, so choose the sun mode and set 22–24°C.

They can also be controlled from the LG ThinQ app if you prefer. Please keep windows and the balcony door closed while the A/C runs, and switch it off when you go out.

Galini has electric underfloor heating — lovely on a cool morning, and the reason the apartment stays comfortable well outside the summer season.

You don't need to programme anything. We set the schedule up before you arrive, so all you do is put the thermostat into automatic mode and forget about it — it warms up and switches off on its own.

There are two thermostats — one in the living room and one in the bedroom — so the rooms are heated separately. If you'd rather not heat one of them at all, just leave that thermostat off.

Underfloor heating warms the whole floor slab, so give it an hour or two to come up from cold — that's normal, not a fault. Please don't cover the floor with thick rugs, suitcases or boxes for long periods; the heat needs somewhere to go.

In summer you won't need it at all — the A/C is the one you want.

A walk-in shower, with the WC in the same room. Hand soap and shower gel are provided, along with a starter supply of toilet paper, and there's a hairdryer.

One bath towel per guest is provided. Please bring your own beach towels — the resort asks that apartment towels aren't taken to the pool or the beach.

Please also see the note below about the toilet and water — it applies to both apartments and it matters.

The couch in the living area converts into a comfortable double bed:

· Clear the space in front of the couch — the bed needs room to unfold.
· Find the handle at the front and pull it towards you.
· Once it's out, pull it up and the bed unfolds into place.

To close it, push the base down and slide it back until it clicks. Spare bedding is in the apartment.
