Villa Seccarille

1. Your Contract

The application for booking constitutes an acceptance of all these terms and conditions by the client and the client accepts it on behalf of all the members of the party named in the booking form.

2. The Booking Form

Reservations will be confirmed upon return of the fully completed Booking Form and the payment of the Rental Deposit as set out in paragraph 3. Until that time no contract or agreement will be considered to exist between us. If significant changes need to be made in the Booking Form after the reservation has been confirmed, an amended set of forms must be completed and returned.

3. Payment

In order to book Villa Seccarille (the “Villa”), we require a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the rental amount due (“Rental Deposit”). The balance will be due 6 weeks before arrival. If the balance is not paid on the due date we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled. 

A safety deposit of £1,500 (the “Safety Deposit”) is also required and will be due 6 weeks before arrival. The Safety Deposit, less the expenses related to damages to the Villa or its facilities and other expenses not included in the rental price (e.g. telephone, central heating), will be returned on the day of your departure.

Payments may be made only by bank transfer/wire in accordance with the details set out in the Booking Form.
