1) Booking

The booking form must be completed and signed by the party leader (hereafter 

called the Guest(s)) who must be over 18 years of age. The signing of the Booking

Form shall be deemed to constitute the acceptance of the Booking and Payment 

Procedure plus Terms and Conditions by the Guest and shall be a warranty by the

person so signing that they have the authority to act on behalf of the persons 

named on the booking form including any substitutions or additions by any 

subsequent agreed amendments to the booking. The procedures and conditions 

will still apply even if for any reason the Booking Form has not been completed by

the client, e.g. in the case of a late booking request by telephone which 

necessitates immediate commitment The booking is not accepted until the 

completed and signed Booking Form together with the appropriate deposit has 

been received and the Acknowledgement/Receipt has been issued. If the booking

 is not accepted for any reason the deposit will be refunded in full. Amendments to

or cancellation of the booking by the Guest will be subject to the provisions of 

sections 6 and 8 of these terms and conditions. The accommodation cannot be 

shared, assigned or sublet and only those persons named on the booking form are

permitted to stay in the property. Persons/children under the age of 18 years are 

not accepted unless accompanied by parents or an adult.

2) Payment

Deposits and payments should be made in accordance with the Bookings and 

Payments Procedure. Failure to comply with the payment procedure will be 

deemed to be a cancellation by the Guest and will be subject to the cancellation 

charges as detailed in Section 8.

3) Rental Period

Reservations normally run Saturday to Saturday and are for a minimum of 7 

nights, but other periods may be able to be accommodated by arrangement. The 

Villa is available for occupation from 4-00 pm (local time) on the day of arrival 

until 11-00am (local time) on the day of departure. We will do our very best to 

accommodate any required changes in these times, but it cannot be guaranteed.

4) Rental Charges 

The Villa rental charges and the items included are as detailed in the Weekly 

Rental Charges.

5) Price Guarantee 

The rental price you will pay is fully guaranteed once the deposit has been paid 

and the acknowledgement/receipt has been issued.

6) Amendments

The effective date of the amendment is the date on which details of the proposed 

amendment are received in writing. Wherever possible, any amendment to the 

booking requested after the booking has been confirmed will be accommodated. 

Dependent on the nature of the amendment additional costs may be incurred.

7) The Security Bond

The Guest is solely responsible for any damages or breakages that may be 

caused to the property or its contents and also for any loss of items in the 

inventory during their stay. Therefore £150 or $250 refundable security bond 

payable with the final balance, will be held against such an eventuality. The Villa 

is inspected both before and after each occupancy and upon confirmation that all 

is in order, this deposit will be refunded in full. Since it is not possible to check the

Villa before departure, the security bond will be reimbursed as soon as possible 

after the Guest has departed. Charges for damages/losses or any maintenance/

repairs to the Villa, equipment, amenities or fixtures necessitated by misuse will 

be at the discretion of the Owners Management Company and will be deducted 

from the Security Bond. In the event of any damage/loss, which is assessed to be 

in excess of the Security Bond, the Guest will be held responsible for full 

reimbursement of the outstanding amount within fourteen days notice of such 

costs. We would appreciate that the property is left in a orderly state at the end 

of the rental period.

8) Cancellation

Any cancellation by the Guest must be notified in writing directly to the Owner. The cancellation will become effective from the date we receive the written Notification and any cancellations are subject to a charge as detailed below:

Notice given:

A cancellation of a booking up to 8 weeks before departure ______Deposit Only

A cancellation of a booking between 4- 8 weeks before departure____ 75%

A cancellation of a booking up to 4 weeks before departure ________  100%

The owners, at their absolute discretion, may agree to waive some or all of these 

charges if they are able to replace the cancelled booking with another booking on

the same or better terms.   The security deposit will always be returned in the 

event of cancellation..  In the unlikely event that circumstances beyond the 

Owners control necessitate a cancellation of the rental agreement by the Owners,

the Owners reserve the right to cancel any bookings at any time and would only 

be liable to refund monies already paid by the client. In these circumstances we 

would then endeavor to find replacement accommodation.

9) Travel Arrangements / Requirements

No responsibility or liability is accepted in respect of loss or damage, or alterations to the dates caused by flight delays or cancellations, weather conditions, industrial disputes, etc.
