The following Terms and Conditions stated form the basis of your contract with the owners of the Villas
Security Deposit
The properties have a fully refundable security deposit, charged at €300.- Euro. This is used to protect the owners against any breakages, negligence and/or wilful and wanton conduct, loss or damage, extra housekeeping costs, unpaid local charges or any other charges where applicable. This deposit cost may vary depending on the age group and owner specification and the cost of each customer’s deposit will be stated on their booking confirmation and must be received by the owners at the check in. This amount will be refunded at the check-out, if there is not any loss, damage, unpaid bills, additional housekeeping etc. In case that any damage occurs, the owners reserve the right to deduct the funds from the deposit amount. If the property is abused in any way, the customer will need to vacate the property immediately and move to alternative accommodation at their own cost. If the customer’s deposit proves inadequate to fully cover any costs that arise, the owners reserve the rights to ask for additional payment.
The properties are inspected before and after each reservation by a member of staff and any damage caused prior to the customer’s arrival will be noted inside the brochure of the property. Any other noted damage found by the customer must be reported to our office within 2 hours of their arrival.

It is extremely unlikely, but the owners of the Villas may be forced by “force majeure” to change or cancel the customer’s stay after their arrival date and before the duration of their rental.
