Garbage Pickup:
Garbage pickup occurs Wednesday mornings. You'll find a green bin off the side of the driveway that must be wheeled out to the road for pickup. We suggest doing this Tuesday evening as they sometimes come quite early in the morning.

Gardener & Pool Cleaner:
During your stay, you may run into the gardener (Wednesday mornings) and the pool cleaners (Thursday). They'll be in and out in no time. We apologize in advance for the disruption.

Damages:
We understand that accidents happen. Please report any damage or breakages as soon as possible so we can address them.

The Drinking Water
The tap water here comes from a state-of-the-art desalination and filtration system and is perfectly safe to drink. In fact, Curaçao’s tap water meets some of the highest purity standards in the world. You can confidently drink from the faucet (no need for bottled water), but try to conserve water where possible, since it takes a lot of energy to produce and locals are mindful of not wasting it.

Electricity:
**To balance comfort, cost, and conservation, Villa Verde provides 40 kWh of electricity per night, which is perfect for evening air-conditioning when windows and doors are closed. During the daytime, we recommend enjoying the island breeze by keeping windows open. If your electricity usage exceeds 40 kWh per night, an additional charge of $0.60 per kWh will apply and this will be deducted from your security deposit. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain sustainable energy use. Thank you!
