BEHAVIOUR
The client renting a property is responsible for his/her correct behaviour whilst occupying the property. Should a client fail to behave in a civilised and decent manner, the owner or his/her representative has the right to ask the client and their party to leave the property immediately and may deduct from the security deposit such sums as are necessary to repair any damage and cover any related costs. In these circumstances the client will have no entitlement to any refund of the rental payment or associated charges.
If the amount of possible damages is higher than the security deposit, customers must pay the difference to the owner or his/her representative before departure.
IMPORTANT
It is absolutely forbidden to access (for any reason) the rented property with a number of guests higher than the maximum property capacity It is also strictly forbidden to organize parties, birthday parties or events in general without the approval of the owner.
EXTERNAL MAINTAINANCE
The owner or his/her representative reserves the right to enter the property for essential maintenance works (garden, swimmingpool, etc.) even in case of independent villas.
13) INSURANCE
It is a condition of these general terms that the client has sufficient insurance cover for the duration of the booking.
COMPLAINTS
The description of the properties are made in good faith. Italiavillas cannot be held responsible for changes carried out by the owner of the property without noticing us
If the client has any complaint in the property, he/she should inform Italiavillas on the arrival day and confirm it in writing within 24 hours
Complaints will not be accepted unless this procedure is observed. Italiavillas reserves the right to verify, during the period of occupancy, the reasons of the complaint of the client, if necessary by inspecting the property. If the complaint is accepted, the client will be compensated in proportion to the extent of the sustained damage (up to a maximum of the rental price).
If necessary, Italiavillas reserves the right to move the client to a similar or to a better property, subject to availability. If the price of the alternative accommodation is lower than the price of the booked house, Italiavillas will refund the client the difference between the initial price and the rate of the alternative accommodation.
If the price of the alternative accommodation is higher than the price of the booked property, the difference will be not be charged to the client. Should the client accept this exchange, no further compensation will be payable to the client.
If no alternative property is available, Italiavillas will refund the total rental. In no circumstances will Italiavillas pay or be liable for any hotel or other accommodation costs.
If a client leaves a property without giving Italiavillas the possibility of verifying the reason of complaint, the client looses the right to any compensation or refund. If a client complains when he/she is no longer on the rented property, he/she looses the right to any compensation or refund.
Italiavillas will not accept as causes for complaint weather conditions, stings or presence of insects, lack of utilities (internet, water, electricity, heating), work in progress, etc., if these depend on state-run organisations, and anyway do not depend on Italiavillas or Property Owner.
The properties are not hotels but private homes. Their equipment, furniture and characteristics reflect the local style, the taste of the owner and the Italian or local traditions (ex.: normally the coffee machine is the Italian espresso maker and not the electrical machine) and do not reflect the standard grading used by hotels. Therefore Italiavillas will not consider these elements as a cause of complaint.
CANCELLATION
Should the client for any reason cancel the booking, the following cancellation charges will be applied (all cancellations must be confirmed in writing to [email protected]
- 30% of the total rental if the cancellation is made after booking time.
- 100% of the total rental if it is made 45 days or less prior arrival in a villa or for stays longer than 30 nights in any property, or only 10 days prior to arrival for the Florence apartments short terms.
- the down- payment paid at booking time if the cancellation is made after booking time.
Our cancellation policy is applied to both full and partial cancellations of any booking which has been confirmed. Please note that the minimum stay for Properties must be respected in case of partial cancellation (i.e., if a property has a minimum stay of 7 nights, and the client has booked for 7 nights, he cannot cancel 2 nights and request a refund for those nights).
In case of long-term rentals (over 61 days), client, who would like to end the rental period in advance, must provide a 60-day advance notice to avoid paying any cancellation penalties.
For any amendment to the original booking, if the property and the rental period do not remain the same, the booking has to be cancelled applying the above cancellation fees, and a new booking is necessary. Should Italiavillas succeed in renting the property of the cancelled booking, the client must only pay a penalty equal to the actual damage sustained by Italiavillas
The rental price does not include cancellation insurance.
Should Italiavillas be forced to cancel a booking because of reasons outside of their control, Italiavillas will, subject to availability, offer a similar or a better property. If the price of the alternative accommodation is lower than the price of the booked house, Italiavillas will refund the client the difference between the initial price and the rate of the alternative accommodation. If the price of the alternative accommodation is higher than the price of the booked house, the difference will not be charged to the client. In case no other alternative accommodation is available, Italiavillas will refund the total price of the booking and no further compensation will be due to the client.
