This is needed to ensure the safe condition of the property.

ANIMALS Each property information sheets indicate whether pets are allowed, what size, and whether clients will be required to pay extra for cleaning to the owner. During the booking procedure, customers are required to specify the type, number and size of the pets they will be bringing. The owner may refuse entry to a client who brings an animal without mentioning it at the time of the booking. Owners of the pets are required to observe the basic hygiene rules by not allowing animals to enter the bedrooms, to climb on beds or sofas and not allowing the animals to swim in the pool, mainly out of respect for the next guests.

ROADS Our villas are located in beautiful and quiet places and the roads to reach them are often unpaved, sometimes narrow and in some cases, quite steep. Service Valdera S.a.s.  tries to be as accurate as possible for what concerns the roads and distances from the centres of the properties as well as when giving advice on what kind of car to use. Service Valdera S.a.s.  is not to be held responsible if weather conditions make roads more difficult to follow and for inability to drive on such dirt roads, nor Service Valdera S.a.s.  is responsible for clients who have not carefully consulted all parts of the website. For this reason, we suggest our clients to have a good look at the information as shown on the website.

NB We remind our clients that the private villas are experienced as such by the owners themselves and reflect their lifestyle and their personal tastes, you may find personal photos, souvenirs, memories and therefore it is normal – as it is common in the house we usually live in – that there could be some small flaws.
