WE PROVIDE SELF-CATERING ACCOMMODATION
The style and standard of our properties will inevitably differ across resorts and destinations, ranging from individually owned properties, furnished to the owner’s taste, to purpose-built holiday homes and resorts. The renting of the residence is without any personnel, apart from offering the usual housekeeping services (maid).
We endeavor to give an accurate description of each villa and provide you with interior and exterior photographs, as up-to-date as possible. Please note that the furnishings are subject to change, without prior notice, to allow for repair, cleaning, and replacement of broken items, and there may not be sufficient time for us to update the property’s photographs.
There should be adequate dining, seating, beds, cutlery, etc. for maximum occupancy in the villa. Villas will be supplied with sunbeds, but these belong to the owner and can vary from property to property. Owners are not obliged to supply sun umbrellas.
It is important that you not only read the individual descriptions but also speak to us to obtain a better understanding of each villa and the surrounding area.
If you have specific requirements, please call us or email us so we can ensure you are choosing the right villa for your holiday/vacation.
PRICES
The information and prices are not ‘live’ and are updated from time to time. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information, availability, and pricing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur.
We may change any aspect of the property or its content, including the availability, features, information, or other content, at any time without notice.
You must, therefore, ensure you check the price and all other details of your chosen arrangements with our representative at the time of booking. All basic rental rates include taxes (unless otherwise stated).
PAYMENT
When the chosen payment method is by credit card, we will collect all necessary credit card details in accordance with applicable legislation. Information collected by us about the credit cards used will not be further processed or stored and will be destroyed once the payment has been processed. In the event of balance payments being made by credit/debit card or PayPal, we reserve the right to charge a non-refundable 2.4% (AMEX 4%) charge to cover processing costs.

The security deposit less any such charges will be refunded by bank transfer, or credit card as soon as the owner has completed its inventory and occupancy report. Usually refunded within 14 days after your departure from the villa.
At the time of booking your rental, you must give us debit or credit card authorization to debit your card on behalf of the owner up to the limit of your Security Deposit for the property, to cover any loss (such as breakages) or unpaid charges incurred during your accommodation. Charges will be made to your card without prior consultation.
We reserve the right to pursue payment if your card is not authorized. Please note that the security deposit does not cover you for willful and negligent behavior. If the amount of the Security Deposit is not sufficient to cover the costs the owner is entitled to recover any additional costs from you and an additional charge will be made locally.

Maximum Occupancy must not be exceeded except by our prior written agreement. Infants in cots may be accommodated on request even if the total number of persons exceeds Maximum Occupancy.
The Maximum Occupancy is quoted for each villa and is determined by the authorities. Please note that the contravention of the above will render your booking void and all money will be forfeited.
We reserve the right of immediate eviction from the Property if you exceed the Maximum Occupancy without our prior knowledge and written consent, or, at our absolute discretion, to exclude any additional persons from the Property or to make a supplementary charge. Camping and parking of caravans are not permitted under any circumstances on the grounds of the Property.

Additional guests will be asked to vacate the accommodation. If applicable an additional charge of € 75 to 225.00 per person per night for guests in addition to the maximum as stated in the property will be assessed.
You should, on departure, leave the accommodation in a reasonably clean and tidy condition so that we can efficiently prepare it for our next guests. If additional cleaning is necessary, a charge will be made locally, or an invoice will be paid to you at the property.
PROPERTY RE-ARRANGEMENT AND REPAIR
You must take good care of and respect the property and report as soon as any defects in its equipment and facilities occur. In particular, you agree to clean thoroughly any item that has had substantial usage during your holiday, related to ovens, grills, and refrigerators.

The owner reserves the right of immediate eviction from the property if any serious abuse of the property takes place.
RENTAL PERIOD
The Rental period begins at 15.00 pm hours on the day of arrival and terminates at 11.00 am hours on the day of departure (unless otherwise stated or permission has been granted for early check-in or late check-out).
