Terms and Conditions

It has been recorded and agreed:

• The duration of the Tenant’s occupation of the Premises will be as below on Page 2.
• The number of occupants of the Premises during the period shall be as below on Page 2.
• It has been agreed that in order to confirm the provisional reservation the Tenant must ensure that the property manager receives the deposit referred to above, in cleared funds, by way of electronic transfer or international wire transfer together with a duly completed and signed copy of this agreement.
• The balance of the total amount owing in respect of the reservation shall be settled in cleared funds, by way of electronic transfer or international wire transfer at least 30 days prior to the arrival date.
• Cancellations: In the event of cancellation of the confirmed reservation more than 30 days prior to the agreed date of arrival, the property manager reserves the right to retain the full amount of the deposit.
• In the event of cancellation of the confirmed reservation less than 30 days prior to the agreed date of arrival, the property manager reserves the right to retain the full amount of the rental cost.
• We highly recommend that every person included in the booking has travel insurance for the entire duration of the Tenant’s occupation of the Premises as the Owners Insurance does not cover guests. Which might also cover guests for their Deposit.
• The refundable deposit will be withheld on the tenant’s credit card or in our account to cover damages to the property, excluding fair wear and tear. Within seven days of departure Property Manager or Agent shall provide the Tenant with invoices and proof to substantiate any damage claim prior to being drawn from the deposit. In our experience this happens very rarely, and we are not overly concerned about a couple of glasses broken but we will act in the best interest of the villa (Premises) and its owner to repair any damage.
• Please be further advised that the Tenant’s liability for damage to the property and its contents is not limited to the refundable security deposit.
• Events and parties are not allowed at the villa unless prior arrangements have been made and confirmed by Owner.
