A bit silly I know but, I've done some research on places like slowtrav but I haven't really found the answer - do they provide dish soap and that sort of thing at farm apartments? Its a crazy thing to think about I guess but since I live in Germany and will be driving down I thought it would be cost-conservative to bring some things from home if I needed them..... thanks for any information.

ttt for me!! Anyone???

I was wondering the same thing when I rented an apartment in Paris, so I asked the landlord/agent. They replied that they did, and they did in deed -- dishwasher, kitchen dish soap, washing machine soap, etc.

I always bring my own bath soap (a big bar) & shampoo.

My husband and I have rented apartments
at several Italian agriturismos and all were stocked with the basics for
housekeeping. The only item we bought
was a roll of paper towels. The laundry rooms were also stocked with
soap.

thank you!
