The security deposit will be returned to the Client 21 days after the completion of the holiday as long as any keys are returned and no damage or loss is reported by the Letters management company. 

4.       I f the Client wishes to cancel the booking he should advise the Letter immediately by telephone followed by a confirmatory letter. Upon receipt of such notification the Letter will (without obligation to the Client) use his best endeavors to obtain a replacement letting and if such replacement is obtained will refund to the Client any monies paid less the deposit. If the Letter is not able to re-let he shall be entitled to retain all payments already made (except the Security Deposit) and to recover, if not already paid, the balance of the hiring charge as follows: 

                                30—60 days notice:                  50% of the rental charge.

In the unlikely event that circumstances beyond the Letters control necessitate the cancellation of the rental agreement, the Letter reserves the right to cancel any bookings at anytime and will only be liable to refund monies already paid by the client. Furthermore, the Letter cannot guarantee that all the facilities described on the website will be available.  

The Client agrees: 

        No liability is accepted by the Letter for the loss of main services or failure of appliances, nor for the consequences of the actions or omissions of persons who may control supply of mains service, nor any actions taken in the vicinity of the property by any authority over which there is no control by the Letter. 

The property is available after 4.00 pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10.00 am on the day of departure, to allow the cleaning staff time to prepare the villa for the next guests. 

The Letter does not accept any liability for injury, damage or loss caused by any reason or for any claim made as a result of this booking and / or the subsequent holiday.

This will keep the water to a constant temperature of 82 degrees. PLEASE NOTE: Because of   fluctuations in the price of gas, this price may change at any time. 

Payments made by Paypal will incur a 4.2% fee to cover their charges to us.
