PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL implements rigorous procedures in quality accommodations selection and to guarantee the safety of Customers allowing them to spend the best possible holidays.

This insurance is in addition to the rental price and must be taken at the time of booking. The price is 3% of the amount of the accommodation only (excluding service charge, tourist tax and cleaning fee) and covers all people traveling with the Customer.

IN CASE YOU DO NOT HAVE A LIABILITY INSURANCE YOU MUST TAKE THIS COVERAGE INSURANCE TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS.

 

9. PETS

 

The presence of pets is prohibited without express permission from the owner. It is up to the latter to accept or refuse the presence of pets in the accommodation and this should follow an initial request from the Customer that must be made at least 24 hours before the arrival date.

The surcharge for pets is €50 per week. The Customer acknowledges and accepts by these general terms and conditions of sale for the surcharge to pay for pets.

 

 

10. SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

For each furnished vacation rental, a deposit proportional to the proposed rental price of the property will be claimed by the owner upon the Customer's arrival at the premises.

We use the services of a partner, Swikly, who secures bookings with an online deposit. Your credit card limit is not affected and your data is secure.

The requested security deposit must be considered as a guarantee stricto sensu and constitutes a part of the total price as described in article 3 "Price".

 

An inventory check of the property will be carried out upon the arrival at and departure from the accommodation.

 

In the event that the check-out inventory is consistent with the one carried out upon arrival:

  • If the customer has provided cash as a guarantee, the latter will be returned the day of departure.
  • If the customer has provided an authorisation to hold funds in a bank account as security, PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL agrees to release the frozen funds within 48 hours from the day the keys are returned by the customer (this method is only applicable for non-French tenants).

 

In the event that the check-out inventory is not consistent with the one carried out upon arrival, PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL agrees to return the security deposit minus any repair costs or replacement costs for any furniture, electronic equipment or furniture or property damaged owing to the fault or negligence of the Customer, within 1 month from the day the keys are returned.

The accommodation includes household linen (bath towels & sheets) in sufficient quantity for the number of holiday guests and in good condition. The Customer acknowledges that it is forbidden to hang household linen from the windows or other openings and to make it visible from the outside.

In the event that it is discovered during the stay by the on-site representative that there is an excess number of people than the number stipulated in the contract, PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL may request compensation calculated in proportion to the number of additional people based on the initial amount: in any case, the number of additional people may not exceed the maximum capacity permitted by the Tourist Accommodation. In the event of refusal, the representative may demand the departure of people not initially specified in the contract.

 

In the event of a failure to respect the general terms of use of the accommodation, PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL reserves the right to require an early departure from the Customer without any refund or compensation being due. The agency also reserves the right to immediately make the property available again for rent on the Site.

 

Customers acknowledge by the present general terms and conditions of sale the obligation hold civil liability insurance for themselves and for each of the adults and children using the accommodation, which includes a "holiday clause". A confirmation of the latter may be requested before entering the accommodation. If the tenant does not have insurance, in the event of an accident, the latter is held liable. PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL recommends the purchase of insurance from SAM LOISIRS, the link to which can be found on our website. Travel insurance is available from as little as €1.

To ensure that each customer enjoys clean Tourist Accommodation upon arrival (dust-free furniture, clean windows, cleaned refrigerator...), the final cleaning fees are compulsory.

However, each customer is still required to return the Tourist Accommodation in a good state of cleanliness, dishes done, bins emptied, BBQ, oven and microwave cleaned.

 

Failure to comply with this clause will result in a deduction from the deposit.

 

 

13. TERMS OF USE IN THE COMMON AREAS

 

In the event that the furnished accommodation provides common areas such as a swimming pool or a playroom, the Customer agrees to be held solely responsible for the use of all common areas, including themselves and all other registered adults and children or visitors.

 

The latter, as well as any accompanying adult or children accept the use of the common areas made available during the stay in full and complete knowledge of the facts and by accepting the present general terms and conditions of sale relieve PRESTIGE VILLA RENTAL from any liability in the event of a material, immaterial, direct or indirect accident caused during the use of the common areas (particularly the pool and its surroundings).
