Terms & Conditions

1. A reservation deposit equal to 25% of the rent is payable to the Owner at time of booking. This deposit is non-refundable, except in cases covered by Clause 6 below. Bookings will be confirmed in writing, after the deposit and a signed copy of the Terms and Conditions have been received by the Owner.

2. The balance of the rent plus a refundable security deposit of £250 per week’s rental, are payable 6 weeks before arrival date. In the event that the date of booking is less than 6 weeks prior to arrival, the total rent and security deposit are immediately payable. No interest is payable on the security deposit. Failure to make final payment by the due date gives the Owner the right to cancel the booking with the reservations deposit forfeited. If the Tenant wishes to cancel the booking after full payment, no refund of the rent will be made unless the Owner is able to re-let the villa. The security deposit will be repaid in full.

3. Rent does not include the cost of telephone calls, loss and breakages. From October to April, rent does not include cost of electricity consumed. These costs will be deducted from the security deposit.

4. The Owner does not accept any responsibility for any injury suffered by the Tenant, the Tenant’s family and/or guests. For this purpose, the property includes the villa, the swimming pool, the grounds. The Tenant agrees that the Owner will not be held responsible for any such injury, however caused. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to take out insurance to cover his party for any risk, particularly illness, accident, or cancellation.

5. The Tenant agrees to take good care of the Owner’s property, including the furniture, and in particular to avoid any risk of fire (from discarded cigarettes, the barbecue, etc). Although a final clean is included in the rent, the Owner reserves the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional cleaning costs if the Tenant leaves the property in an unacceptable condition.

6. The Owner shall not be liable to the Tenant for any temporary defect or stoppage in the supply of public services to the property nor in respect of malfunction of any equipment, plant, machinery or appliance on the property, nor for any loss, damage of injury. In the event that the villa becomes so damaged that it is uninhabitable and the Tenant is obliged to vacate the property, the Owner will make a pro-rata refund of the total amount of the rent for the period affected (provided that the damage was not caused by negligence or malice by the Tenant or one of his party). In the case that in the Owner’s opinion the state of the villa has been rendered unfit for occupation, the Tenant will be forewarned and refunded in full. In all situations, the Tenant agrees that the Owner’s liability is limited to a pro-rata refund of the rent.

7. The Tenant agrees that no more than 10 persons will reside in the villa during the tenancy, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Owner.

8. The Owner reserves the right to inspect the property as necessary during the period of tenancy, giving reasonable notice to the Tenant, except in cases of emergency and/or urgent repairs.

9. The period of tenancy will commence at 1600 hours on the first day of the tenancy and end at 1000 hours on the final day. Tenancy period run from Saturday to Saturday unless otherwise agreed by the Owner.

10. The charges to be deducted from the deposit shall be estimated by the Owner, and such estimate will be final and binding on the Tenant.

11. These conditions and any contract to which they apply are governed by English law, and English courts only shall have jurisdiction in the event of any claim or dispute arising from them.
