2.2. When you submit a booking to us, this does not mean we have accepted your booking. Our acceptance of the booking will take place as described in clause 1.3 (when a binding contract is entered into).

2.3. If we are unable to fulfil the booking, we will inform you of this and we will not process the booking further.

3. Prices

3.1. Prices quoted on our website are those in effect at the time of viewing only. Prices are updated from time to time and are only guaranteed once the deposit (see clause 7.1 below) has been paid (although we reserve the right to change prices at any time in the case of error).

3.2. All prices quoted include all taxes.

4. Accuracy

4.1. We endeavour to ensure that all the information on our website is accurate; however, occasionally errors occur and we reserve the right to correct details in such circumstances.

5.1. If you wish to change the booking in any way once a binding contract is in place between us (see clause 1.3) we will at our sole discretion decide whether to allow such a change to the booking. Making changes to a booking will not always be possible.

5.2. Any request for changes to a booking must be made in writing by the person who made the booking. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an administration fee based on our increased costs as a result of any applicable rate changes and any other costs or charges incurred or imposed by third parties that we work with. The amount of the fee will be notified to you before you choose to proceed with any change. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the arrival date that changes are made and you should therefore contact us as soon as possible.

5.3. Where a change in the booking is not possible and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking, we will treat this as a cancellation by you and there will be no refund.

6. If we make changes to your booking (including cancellation)

7.1. It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your confirmed booking arrangements or cancel them. However, occasionally we may have to make changes after bookings have been confirmed.

6.3. If a significant change (see below) or cancellation has to be made to your booking arrangements by us we will notify you as soon as possible. You may then either:

(a) accept the changed arrangements; or

(b) accept an offer of an alternative villa of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). If you reject our offer of an alternative villa of comparable standard then you will not be entitled to an alternative villa of a standard that is far superior. If in these circumstances you request a villa of a far superior standard, you will be required to pay any difference between the cost of the original villa booked and the alternative villa which is of a far superior standard; or

(c) cancel your booking completely, in which case we will refund you all monies paid by you.

6.4. “Significant changes” include change of villa or villa location for the whole or a significant part of your time away. Please note that not all villa changes will constitute a “significant change”.

7. Paying for your villa

7.1. At the time of your booking you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit in cleared funds of between 20-50% (you will be informed of the amount) of the full amount payable (excluding any security deposit or accidental damage insurance fee) in order to secure the villa and selected dates (unless at the time of booking your arrival date is 60 days or less away, in which case clause 7.3 applies).

7.2. The balance of the villa cost plus, where required the accidental damage insurance fee (see clause 9) must be received in cleared funds by us no less than 60 days before your arrival date. If we do not receive full payment in cleared funds in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case there will be no refund.

7.3. If your arrival date is 60 days or less away on booking then the full amount including the villa damage insurance fee if required, must be paid on booking.

8.6. The security deposit (if required), will be refunded to the original payment card once the property has been checked following your departure. If this payment was not made via debit/credit card, a member of our team will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method, such as check or bank transfer.

9.3. In the event that damage is caused to the villa during your stay we shall, at our absolute discretion, make a determination as to whether the cost of any repair and/or replacement should be deducted from your security deposit or whether the damage is sufficiently minor and accidental in our opinion to be covered by the accidental damage insurance cover under this clause 9.

9.4. Intentional damage or gross negligence is not covered by accidental damage insurance.

The consumables supplied vary from villa to villa and should be adequate for the first few days of your stay.

12.3. You and all members of your party agree not to use the property for any illegal or commercial purpose, including subletting.

12.4. On departure you should leave the villa in a reasonably clean and tidy condition so that it can be efficiently prepared for the next guests.

Excess rubbish left on your departure day will be charged at the rate agreed by the individual homeowner. Excessive cleaning required will also be charged at the rate agreed by the individual homeowner. All charges will clearly be displayed in the guide located in the villa.

12.5. If excess rubbish must be cleared or excessive cleaning of the villa is necessary following your stay, any charges will either be:

(b) invoiced to your postal address;

and you agree to pay such charges.

14.2. Many of our other villas are also situated in residential areas where refurbishment work may be happening on a neighbouring property over which we have no control. In the majority of cases, we are not given prior notice of such work to neighbouring properties. If after you have made a booking we become aware of such building works and it may reasonably be considered that such works will seriously impair the enjoyment of your holiday, we will offer you the opportunity to transfer to alternative accommodation. Where the alternative accommodation would constitute a significant change to your booking, we will offer you the option of cancelling without penalty.

15. Pest control

(b) invoice you for the additional charge that would have been payable by you had you sought our prior permission to hold the event and such permission had been granted. Such invoices shall be payable by you to us within 14 days of receipt.
