regulations
If you are currently staying at Casa Caravan, on the way, or thinking of booking with us, we let you know our rules and regulations. Their goal is to make our home a happy, safe and respectful place for guests.
We remind you that Casa Caravan is a “plant-based” space, this means that our proposal is free of animal cruelty. Why? Because we are convinced that if we want to see a change in the world, it has to start with us. We hope we can be an inspiration and not an “obstacle” in your journey. You can ask us all any questions you want before coming. If this is something that doesn’t resonates with you, and you’re not open to learning, we kindly ask you to cancel your reservation.
