GENERAL CONDITIONS

We are renting self-catering apartments (we are not a hotel and not a bed and breakfast). Our properties are let on standard terms and conditions legally applicable in France and in the European Union to such matters and in particular the terms stipulated below with which the tenant promises to comply. Confirmation of the booking means acceptance of the present conditions.

Bookings

Booking requests are made through our website. If the requested apartment is available, the tenant receives an invitation to confirm his stay by paying a deposit. The booking is then firm as soon as the amount of the deposit has reached our bank account. As long as no deposit is received, the requested apartment and dates remain open to further requests from other people. All correspondence has to be made via the messaging tool of the booking file exclusively - not by email or any other means - so that it remains archived in the file for future reference.

Age and responsibility

The tenant must be at least 21 years old, must be authorised by all persons named on the booking confirmation to make the booking, including those added later, and must consent to our processing personal information about her/him and the other members of her/his party.
All correspondence is sent via the messaging tool of the online booking file to the party leader who is responsible to us for all payments on the booking, for ensuring that party members are kept informed of booking details, and for any cancellation charges.
On receipt of deposit, the booking is confirmed. Accommodation is only for the use of persons named on the confirmed booking file. A contract between you and us will come into existence when you have paid the deposit (or full payment within 4 weeks of arrival) and we have mentioned our confirmation within your online booking file. Your agreement with us is subject to the exclusive laws and jurisdiction of the Courts of France and the European Union.

Our cancellation policy

Deposits paid to us (30% upon reservation, balance 1 month prior arrival) for a reservation are not refundable.
 Confirming a booking means a contract is established between the tenant and the owner. Our cancellation policy refers to the European Court of Justice decision in case No. 277/05 (18 July 2007). 

The European Court of Justice held that Articles 2(1) and 6(1) of the Sixth Directive meant that a sum paid as a deposit was to be regarded, where the hotelier retained the amount as a result of the guest cancelling, as compensation for the loss suffered as a result of the cancellation. 
 
 
In the event of a cancellation:
 
- one month or more prior to the first day of the tenancy, the tenant shall forfeit the whole of the amount of deposit paid (30%).

- less than one month prior to the first day of the tenancy, the tenant shall pay the full amount of the rent payable if such cancellation had not occurred.

No Show and early departure
If the tenant fails to give notice of late arrival and has not arrived 2 days after the scheduled date of arrival, the landlord shall be fully entitled to re-let the accommodation. In case the apartment is re-let no refund is due (see above).
In case the tenant is departing earlier than initially planned, no refund is due. 

Securing deposits in case of unforeseen circumstances is easy: we recommend the subscription of a travel / cancellation insurance. If you do not have your own insurance here is a link to a reliable company whose services are used by many of our guests (premium is 4,5% only, including a damage insurance during the stay). Instant booking available on their website:

Arrival and departure time

The time of arrival shall normally be in the afternoon earliest at 3.30 pm. The time of departure shall normally be the morning at 10.00 am latest.

During the stay

The tenant is under the obligation to personally occupy the premises and to live in them “in a respectable manner” and to take due care of them. All fixtures and fittings are in good working order and no complaint regarding them made more than 24 hours after occupying the premises will be accepted.
Except for the chairs, pieces of furniture have to remain in place and should not be moved around (danger of scratches and damages).
The tenant will be responsible for repairs made necessary by his negligence, misuse or poor care during the tenancy. The tenant has to ensure that no disturbance to neighbours arises through the actions or presence of the tenant or members of his or her family.
The property is let fully furnished with cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, glassware and pillows, etc. If appropriate, the owner or his or her representative shall be entitled to claim from the tenant on departure the cost of the full replacement cost of broken, cracked, chipped or damaged items, furniture and equipment and any such items showing abnormal wear and tear for the length of the tenancy, the cost of cleaning soiled blankets and covers, compensation for damage of any kind to curtains, wall-coverings, ceilings, rugs, mats, carpets, windows, bedding, etc.

Insurance and guarantee deposit

The tenant promises to take out a personal travel insurance covering tenancy risks (damages to furniture, objects, etc.). The absence of insurance cover in the event of an insurable incident shall give rise to payment of damages and interest.
Rmk: A travel insurance will cover cancellation risks as well as damages to the property if any. We strongly recommend the subscription of a travel / cancellation insurance.
If you do not have your own insurance here is a link to a reliable company whose services are used by many of our guests (premium is 4,5% only, including a damage insurance during the stay). Instant booking available on their website:

The tenant has the obligation to inform the landlord, within 24 hours, of any insurable incident occurring in the accommodation, its outbuildings or ancillary facilities.

The tenant may not object to an inspection of the premises by the owner or his or her authorised representative when requested.
