Where strictly necessary, this was aimed at protecting our guests by virtue of damage due to flooding, major construction activities on building or environs, etc. We reserve the right to cancel or change arrangements made for you both before and during the vacation period provided such cancellation or change is necessary (a) as a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control or (b) to perform or complete major repair or refurbishment works. Should the above mentioned situations occur, our policy is as follows:

  • ­ An alternate property to the same high standard will be offered to you. In case you accept to stay in the alternative apartment, we shall consider it as full acceptance of our offer. ­
  • Otherwise, you will be refunded proportionally to the unused nights of your stay. ­
  • In case our Home is not available, your payments will be refunded straight off and we will do our best to help you find alternative accommodation. As mentioned before, this situation has never occurred in the history of our company.

Our commitment is to inform our guests about general maintenance tasks, though unfortunately, we are not always notified in advance.
