members of your party be suitably insured.

their agents reserve the right to refuse admittance if this condition is not observed. Your security deposit will not be refunded should there be
more persons in the party than the maximum capacity for the property.
8. Problems With Your Property
If you have a problem during your holiday, immediately inform the local representative who will then endeavour to put things right. If you fail to
do this we cannot accept responsibility, as we have not had the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. Although we will make every
effort to deal with problems promptly, a reasonable amount of time should be allowed for repairs to be completed by outside contractors. In the
unlikely event that a problem is not satisfactorily resolved during your stay we require written notification within 14 days of the completion of
your holiday.
9. Check in / Check out times
Your accommodation is available after 3pm on day of arrival and MUST be vacated by 10am on day of departure. The maid, gardener, pool
man need this time to prepare the accommodation properly for incoming guests. Although you are not required to vacate your property before
10am please be aware that staff may arrive before this time.
10. Change of accommodation
On rare occasions it may be unavoidable to change your chosen villa because of circumstances beyond our control; we will endeavour to
inform you of this asap and offer either alternative accommodation of similar or superior standard, a refund if nothing is suitable or discuss
other options.

you vacate the property and inspection has been carried out. We expect you to report any breakages or damage to our local agents /
housekeepers on location. You will be required to pay for any repairs or replacements as necessary. This should be paid locally, directly to
our representative, before your departure. If unpaid we reserve the right to charge your credit or debit card with the cost of the repair or
replacement.
12. Property Standards
We have carefully selected and inspected all the properties that we advertise and we endeavour to maintain high standards. However,
inevitably, items break or require maintenance, therefore please be aware that you may encounter maintenance staff and gardeners during
your stay. Please also remember that these are people's homes - please leave the villa in a reasonably clean and tidy condition, and remove
all rubbish at the end of your stay. We reserve the right to charge for extra cleaning and rubbish removal if necessary, and to charge this to
your credit or debit card.

Immediately upon arrival at your holiday home please familiarise yourself with the layout of the property and identify any potential hazards e.g.
unexpected steps, slippery surfaces, pool depths etc. Please also read the safety precaution information contained within the welcome book.

All villas without exception are non-smoking. Persons smoking in villas will be subject to a charge to cover the extra cost of cleaning. Any
damage caused by smoking will mean that the security deposit will be used to replace or repair.
15. Noise
Some of our properties are in rural locations and as such there may be farmyard noises in the vicinity. Other properties might be located in
residential areas, please remember that sound travels and noise should be kept to reasonable levels especially after 11 pm. Road works
and/or building work in close proximity to our properties may occur without any prior warning, this is understandably beyond our control. We
will, however, endeavour to inform you should we become aware of any such works.

In those properties that provide a safe for guest use we cannot accept responsibility for any loss under any circumstances.

satisfactorily heated our liability will be limited to the amount paid for pool / Jacuzzi heating.

All properties have BBQ facilities. Please take care when using. Gas bottles are provided, but if they run out please contact the office for a refill.. Failure to
leave the BBQ and utensils clean may incur charges from your deposit. Please make sure your villa is allowed to have open air BBQ as in
some areas of Spain this is not allowed.

Please be aware that the risk of stray golf balls entering the gardens/patios of properties near golf courses is unavoidable.
20. Pets

service. However, if excess cleaning is required due to the tenants' neglect to clean, this will be deducted from the security deposit.
