The sending of the booking form confirms your acceptance to pay for any damage of any kind caused by your occupancy of the property. The cost of repairs and/or replacements will be deducted from your security deposit prior to the return of the balance. The security deposit will be fully refundable 2-3 weeks after your departure from the property, providing there are no claims against it. In the event of any excess damage of any kind, excessive cleaning costs by our agents or excessive use of electricity (caused by leaving external doors open with the air conditioning on) the named person on the booking form will be held responsible for all additional costs which exceed the security deposit.

If we have to cancel your booking due to events beyond our control, we will do our best to find you alternative accommodation with our US Management Company. However, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever in respect of any loss or damage sustained by the hirer in these circumstances.

The party must treat the property and its furniture, fittings, utensils and other facilities with respect. Any loss or damage must be reported immediately to the Management Company.

As the property has a swimming pool & hot tub, the owners do not accept liability for injury caused as a result of the use of the pool. Guests are specifically requested not to allow unsupervised children to use the pool, which is around 5 feet deep at the deepest end. There is a safety fence fitted around the pool and we strongly recommend that this is used.

For the safety and comfort of all our guests smoking is not permitted within the property. No pets are allowed.

The property is cleaned prior to your arrival and after you have departed. Although it will be cleaned, we ask that you leave it in an orderly state and all kitchen utensils should be washed. Should the property require extensive cleaning then the owners reserve the right to withhold any monies from the security bond to pay for the extra cleaning.

The villa will be available for occupancy from 4.00pm on the date of arrival and must be vacated by 11.00am (prompt) on the day of departure.

We strongly recommend that you take out holiday insurance, prior to your holiday dates that will enable you to recover any deposit/rental payment, should circumstances make it impossible for you to travel, whether through ill health or cancellation by the Airlines, or the owners.

In order to minimise this please keep doors closed at all times, this will also allow the air conditioning unit to function more efficiently.
