Booking Terms and Conditions

Making your booking and payment : –

The first named person on you booking will be the “party leader”. The party leader must be at least 18 years old at the date the booking is made. The party leader must be authorised to make the booking by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making a booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised.

The party leader is responsible for making all payments due. By asking us to confirm your booking, the party leader confirms that he/she and all persons named on the booking have read, understand and agree to these booking conditions.

A booking reference Hold must be obtained before flights are booked. A conversation indicating availability does not constitute a reservation. No responsibility will be accepted by Villasun.net for a property not being available upon re-contact without a reference on email from ourselves.

Obtaining a booking reference will allow you a 3 day window in the knowledge the villa is on hold for you to arrange flights, you can of course book a villa without flights. Once a villa reference is issued the deposit payment is required to confirm the booking on your part by the end of this first 3 day period. Please afford us the courtesy because this is a no obligation booking on your part that if the villa is not required contact is made allowing us to return the availability back to our calendar. A simple email will suffice we do not require an inquest.

We understand a booking for larger numbers of people would require a longer “Hold” period please inquire.

The following payment schedule will apply to all bookings:-

1. Staged deposits, 20% of the booking total within 3 working days of the booking reference being issued.
2. Second deposit, a further 30% of the booking total 13 weeks before departure.
3. The balance of 50% of the booking total 28 days before departure.
4. If the booking is within 4 to 13 weeks of departure 50% of the booking total is due same day. Then schedule 3 above will apply.
5. If the booking is within 28 days of departure 100% of the booking total is due same day.

Please note if any of the above payment schedules are missed it will be deemed you have cancelled your booking and all monies paid to date will be forfeit in lieu of administration charges and re-advertising of your property.

In the acceptance of a villa booking and in the light of the global Covid pandemic and Brexit we cannot emphasise the importance of quality travel insurance for any and all eventualities and require you to read the following from our web site. HOLIDAY INSURANCE

The properties available on this web site are not covered under any type of travel industry bonding.

You the party leader agree to take out an appropriate holiday insurance policy along with all the party members. We insist you inform your insurers the villa is an independent type booking and your policy must fully reflect this in your cover.

Booking Amendments : –

Once a booking reference is issued the number of guests for a villa booking can be amended upward but is subject to villa availability, the minimum & maximum villa numbers from the original villa property and the current advertised web site price on the date of request. Transfer to a smaller villa is entirely dependent on availability. Guest numbers cannot be increased beyond our declared insurance occupancy guest numbers in any villa.
