When you ask us to confirm your booking we will allocate you your chosen property and confirm your reservation.

Please ensure that payment is made within that time otherwise we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled, in which case you could be liable to pay us the cancellation charges detailed below. If you arrange your holiday within 6 weeks of travelling then full payment is due with your booking.

5. If You Cancel Your Booking
If you wish to cancel your booking you must do so by sending written confirmation. The person who signed/submitted the booking form must also sign the letter.

Holiday and travel Insurance, including cancellation cover, is essential for your own protection and we strongly recommend that you and all members of your party be suitably insured.

7. Party Size
At no time must any more persons occupy a property than stated on the booking form, except with prior written agreement. Property owners or their agents reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed.

8. Problems With Your Property
If you have a problem during your holiday, immediately inform the local representative who will then endeavour to put things right. If you fail to do this we cannot accept responsibility, as we have not had the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. Although we will make every effort to deal with problems promptly, a reasonable amount of time should be allowed for repairs to be completed by outside contractors. In the unlikely event that a problem is not satisfactorily resolved during your stay we require written notification within 14 days of the completion of your holiday.

9. Check in / Check out times
Your accommodation is available after 3pm on day of arrival and MUST be vacated by 10am on day of departure. The maid, gardener, pool man need this time to prepare the accommodation properly for incoming guests. Although you are not required to vacate your property before 10am please be aware that staff may arrive before this time.

10. Change of accommodation
On rare occasions it may be unavoidable to change your chosen villa because of circumstances beyond our control; we will endeavour to inform you of this asap and offer either alternative accommodation of similar or superior standard, a refund if nothing is suitable or discuss other options.

11. Breakages & Damages
We request a security deposit by credit card ( +3% card charge) on day of arrival of €150 per week, refunded after inspection of property, and we do trust you to report any breakages or damage to our local agents / housekeepers on location. You will be required to pay for any repairs or replacements as necessary. This should be paid locally direct to our representative before your departure. If unpaid we reserve the right to charge your credit or debit card with the cost of the repair or replacement.

12. Property Standards
We have carefully selected and inspected all the properties that we advertise and we endeavour to maintain high standards. However, inevitably, items break or require maintenance, therefore please be aware that you may encounter maintenance staff and gardeners during your stay. Please also remember that these are people's homes - please leave the villa in a reasonably clean and tidy condition, and remove all rubbish at the end of your stay. We reserve the right to charge for extra cleaning and rubbish removal if necessary, and to charge this to your credit or debit card.

13. On Arrival
Immediately upon arrival at your holiday home please familiarise yourself with the layout of the property and identify any potential hazards e.g. unexpected steps, slippery surfaces, pool depths etc. Please also read the safety precaution information contained within the welcome book.

14. Noise
Some of our properties are in rural locations and as such there maybe farmyard noises in the vicinity. Other properties might be located in residential areas, please remember that sound travels and noise should be kept to reasonable levels especially after 11 pm. Roadworks and/or building work in close proximity to our properties may occur without any prior warning, this is understandably beyond our control ... we will though endeavour to inform you should we become aware of any such works.

15. Safes
In those properties that provide a safe for guest use we cannot accept responsibility for any loss under any circumstances.
16. Pool Heating
Whilst we make every effort to ensure that pool heaters are in working order sometimes they break; therefore if a pool or Jacuzzi cannot be satisfactorily heated our liability will be limited to the amount paid for pool / Jacuzzi heating.
