1. When must I deposit my guarantee bond?
The guarantee bond is compulsory. So as to keep your arrival procedure as simple and efficient as possible, it must be deposited prior to arrival. We cannot accept deposit of the guarantee by check, unless it is a bank-certified check.
For certain rentals, the bond money must be paid by bank transfer. This rule concerns rentals for any villa or apartment to be used as office facilities, and any apartment with our "de luxe" or "superior" rating.
The full amount of the bond will be returned to you after departure, net of any charges levied in the case of damage, breakage and outstanding rentals due. Payment will be released following complete cleaning by our housekeeping teams and full final inspection by our supervisory staff. Attention: it is impossible for us to return the bond at the time of your departure!
In the other cases ?
In all other cases, the simplest means of depositing the guarantee is by credit card. At the time of your reservation, we send you a form which you should complete, sign and fax back to us by return. On reception, we call our credit card centre to check the validity of the card and to ask for an authorization number.
We will not cash money on your credit card except in case of damage, breakage or outstanding unpaid bills. However, allocation of the authorization number may affect the credit limit on your card. Consequently, we suggest that you check with your bank to ensure that your limit is increased if necessary, before your departure.

2. Once I have reserved, can I cancel my reservation?
No reservation is confirmed until payment has been received of part of the full rental (usually 50%).
Our company incurs costs from the moment your reservation is confirmed. Consequently, the payments made cannot be refunded in any circumstances. If you want cover for costs of cancellation, it is your responsibility to take out a suitable cancellation insurance policy with your own insurance company. Please, note that for your comfort and security, we have some special Covid-19 conditions.
3. Do you provide breakfast?
Breakfast is not included in the rental price.
If you ask us in advance, we will, for a supplementary charge, do grocery shopping for you and fill the fridge to your requirements before your arrival. This service, greatly appreciated by our clients, is invoiced as an extra.
