Villa holiday safety and security

In particular...

• Ensure you know the whereabouts of any fire extinguisher or fire blanket. 
• Check the layout of your accommodation so you can escape easily in an emergency.
• Ensure you use the fireguard if your property has an open fire.
• Check for any dangers in the garden e.g. pond, steps etc. that could put children or any one else at risk.
• Keep young children off balconies.
• If you are unsure how to use any electrical appliances or think they are broken, contact the owner/caretaker.
• Check all appliances are switched off when you go out or go to bed.

Also, if there's a swimming pool at your property:

• Check which end is shallow/deep - don't go diving straight in.
• Always supervise children or anyone else who may be at risk.
• Check for lifejackets or other buoyancy aids.
