be a problem and we can only give assurance in this regard at the time of booking and cannot accept
responsibility should such an activity commence without notice. Many villas are in rural settings and it is not unusual
to hear cocks crow, dogs howl or often encounter
the odd 'Native' animal. Should public supplies fail, such as water and electricity, intermittently or otherwise,
or plumbing systems and mechanical equipment fail, we can accept no liability but will do our utmost to rectify
any problems as swiftly as possible. It is a regrettable fact of life that systems do fail and should there by a problem with
pool maintenance we cannot be held responsible but will do all that is possible to have the situation remedied as quickly
as possible, with the least inconvenience.

RESORT DEVELOPMENT It is inevitable that most resort will expand and building work is occasionally unavoidable.
Local authorities may grant permission to build/alter properties and roads without notice.
Unfortunately such developments are beyond our control, however if we are made aware of the situation and we
consider it will significantly affect your holiday, we will advise you if possible.
INVENTORY DEPOSITS - Owing to the quality of our villas, and in accordance with your contract with villa owners,
a refundable inventory deposit of £150 is payable at the time your holiday balance is due. This is held to cover any
breakages or damage to the villa. We would ask that you contact us approximately three weeks after your return from
holiday to request the return of the deposit, which will be sent to you in the form of a cheque
unless we report any damage. Should the deposit be inadequate to cover such charges, it is a condition of booking that
you pay any balance due promptly following our notification. We reserve the right to collect any additional costs over
and above the inventory deposit held, or costs for breakages if inventory deposit is not paid, from a credit card if held
on file. Our Clients are with us to enjoy their holiday so minor breakages, if not replaced, should be pointed out -
for the convenience of others.

handling fee on all payments, 4% by AMEX. Final details and tickets will be dispatched approximately 2 weeks prior to
departure. If payment is not received on the due date your holiday may be cancelled and cancellation charges incurred.
Failure to pay a flight balance on time will almost certainly result in the cancellation of the flight seats.

required for all persons travelling to all the destinations we feature. Children must now have their own passport if not
