The Villa Rental Agreement

When the Client makes a booking the Agreement is between the Client and the Owner and made once a confirmation has been issued to the Client following payment.

  1. Paying for the Villa Rental
    Payment must be in full or as a 25% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking (if booked more than 8 weeks in advance) by the Client, and can be through cleared cheque or cleared bank transfer.
  2. Price Guarantee
    After confirmation of the booking to the Client there will be no change in the price of the Agreement. The Villa rental price includes the cost of the normal usage of gas, electricity and water and weekly cleaning. The Villa rental price does not include transfer costs, airport or other taxes, insurance cover or other costs in whatever form.
  3. Confirmation
    The Client must check the confirmation and other documents received immediately on receipt. The Client must contact the Owner straightaway if any information appears to be incorrect. The Owner is responsible for providing the Villa for the use of the Client as confirmed to the Client.
  4. If the Client Changes their Booking
    If, after confirmation has been issued, the Client wishes to change the booking arrangements in any way, the Owner will do their utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made by the Client must be in writing. If a member or members of the Party withdraws from the Villa rental, someone else can take their place providing the Owner is notified in writing.
  5. If the Client Cancels the Villa Rental
    To cancel the entire villa rental the Client must contact the Owner by email. Cancellation takes effect on the date communication is received from the Client. If the Client cancels after the booking is confirmed the client will lose their 25% deposit. If the Client has to cancel for a reason covered by their insurance policy, the Client should be able to recover the cancellation charges. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned. When only some members cancel in the Party there will be no charge. The following cancellation charges apply:
    1. More than 8 weeks before arrival date: 25% of the total rental cost of the Villa
    2. From 6-8 weeks before arrival date: 50% of the total rental cost of the Villa
    3. Less than 30 days before arrival date: 100% of the total rental cost of the Villa
  6. If the Owner Changes or Cancels the Villa Rental
    It is unlikely that the Owner will have to make any changes to the Villa rental. In the event of minor alterations the Owner will do their best to notify the Client before the arrival date. If a significant change or cancellation has to be made to the Villa rental arrangements the client will be notified as soon as possible. The Client may then accept the changed arrangements or cancel the booking completely, in which case all monies paid by the Client will be refunded without exception.
    Important Note: Refund arrangements do not apply to circumstances beyond the Owner’s control. The Owner may have to cancel the rental arrangement in the event of and not limited to: war, threat of war, riots, civil strikes or terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, airport, port or station closures, bad weather conditions and similar events beyond our control.
  7. Insurance
    Adequate insurance is essential. All necessary holiday and travel insurance cover must be taken out by the Client for the protection of the Client and the Party and is the responsibility of the Client both in cost and arranging.
    Please Note: The Client shall confirm their arrival and departure times at the airport in Turkey together with flight details so that transfers can be arranged. The Client must also advise of any delays in the travel arrangements.
  8. Villa Accommodation
    This is reserved exclusively for the people named in the confirmation and no other persons are permitted to stay at the accommodation unless this has been agreed with the Owner in writing. The Client is responsible for all actions of the Party and/or any third party visiting the Villa and subsequent costs incurred even though the Client may not be present at the Villa at some or all of the time.
  9. Security Deposit
    A security deposit of £100 is to be paid with the rental balance to cover any damage to the Villa. Should the Client and/or any member of the Party and/or any third party visiting the Villa cause any accidental, wilful and/or negligent breakages, loss and/or damage of any item of the property or to the property itself and/or additional cleaning has been necessary, a charge to the Client equal to the cost to replace and/or repair that loss and/or damage including management and labour costs incurred will be taken from the security deposit. If the amount is greater than £100 to repair/replace, the Client agrees to pay the amount owing. The local Management Agent should be informed of any such damage/loss before the end of the rental agreement. The Management Agent will inspect Villa on departure, and contact the Owner. If there is no damage then the security deposit will be returned in full within 2 weeks of Client’s return.
  10. Arrival and Departure
    The Villa will be available for occupancy after 15:00 on the designated day of arrival and must be vacated by 10:00 on the designated day of departure, unless alternative arrangements are made and confirmed in writing by the Owner. Following discussions with our Management Company it may be possible to allow a departure time later than 10:00 or an arrival time earlier than 15:00, depending on preceding or following guests.
  11. Liability to the Client
    The Owner accepts responsibility for ensuring that the Villa for which the Client booked is supplied as described on the website. However we will not accept responsibility for any events listed in the Important Note section within Insurance Terms & Conditions, and where the Client and/or any member of the Party is at fault and/or the fault is of someone else not connected with providing the services which make up the Villa rental which the Owner has confirmed and/or any unusual or unexpected circumstances beyond the control of the Owner, which could not have avoided even if the Owner had used all possible care and/or any event which the Owner, their local Management Agents and/or a supplier could not help or prevent.
  12. Local activities
