HOLIDAY INFORMATION

Holiday villas
Most of the holiday villas we represent are privately owned and are therefore furnished and equipped to the individual tastes of each owner. Some of the houses are located in traditional villages, some on the outskirts and others in the country. All properties are individually inspected and only those selected by us are featured on the website.

Prices
All prices are per villa and per week. An extra small charge might be added if an extra bed is requested. The price of a confirmed rental will be guaranteed against any increase.

Bookings
Email or telephone us to confirm the availability of your chosen villa or simply request advice about any of the properties on the website. You will then be asked to complete the booking form and pay your deposit, which is usually 25%. The balance of your rental cost is paid not less than 8 weeks prior to your holiday.

Security deposits
Most of the villa owners require a refundable security deposit of 450 Euros. This is to cover any minor breakages or damage to the villa or its contents during your stay or additional costs such as extra cleaning.

Arrival and Departure
Most of the villas have a fixed Saturday changeover day. Your arrival should be between 4pm and 7pm. You will need to vacate the villa by 10am on the day of departure. We always try to arrange check-in and check-out times to suit the flight times but cannot guarantee times outside the normal.

Cleaning
A cleaning service is included in all properties represented by us. The service normally includes bed-linen and bathroom towels on arrival (and a full change at least once weekly). Additional cleaning is normally available on request for a small charge. Pool and beach towels are usually excluded.

Swimming pools
Swimming pools are usually available from 1 April to 15 October. Outside these dates it may be possible to use the pool however this must be requested at the time of booking. Pools will not be heated unless this is stated in the property information.

Electricity, air-conditioning and heating
Normal use of water, gas and electricity is included. Gas or other fuel for space heating is normally payable extra on time of booking.

Directions
We provide clear easy to follow directions giving the precise location of your chosen villa, so you can take a hire car from the airport should you prefer. All directions are reviewed at least every 6 months.

Assistance Abroad
We respect your privacy and independence, and will provide you with local contact numbers should you need assistance. We would be pleased to give you any information about interesting places to visit, local attractions, etc.
