GENERAL CONDITIONS

Elena Villas, acting as a professional mediator: each lease agreement will be legally established between owner and tenant.

Elena Villas delivers the terms and conditions, which have been established by each of the different owners of the villas, which are listed in our catalogue. Below, we specify the basic points, which regulate the rental terms and conditions in general.

2.- Reservation deposit

The receipt of any amount in our bank account does not constitute a formal reservation. The booking can be considered as binding from the moment Elena Villas has issued and forwarded a Reservation Voucher. The requested holding or reservation deposit can vary for each villa, according to each villa owner´s reservation policy. The balance payment should be made effective before receiving the keys to the property at the latest, as set in the booking Terms and Conditions received.

5.- Security deposit

The booking contract specifies a safety bond which is to be deposited before checking into the rented villa. This safety or breakage deposit is to be used to cover possible breakages or damage of the villa, other than normal wear and tear. This deposit will be reemboursed on departure, once the state of the rental property has been checked by our staff or the villa owner. In case of any breakages for which the costs cannot be determined immediately and exactly, delays up to 30 days may be caused. Only occasionally, and when previously agreed on, this breakage deposit can also be used to pay for extra services hired throughout a stay at a rental villa or reimbursable expenses paid in advance by Elena Villas.

6.- Number of people using the house

The number of people staying at the property must not exceed the number of sleeping places indicated in the booking conditions, except in the case of infants under two years of age.
