What we undertake to provide, what we ask of you, and how a booking runs from quote to departure.
These terms govern the furnished holiday rental of Villa La Testa, at Sainte-Lucie de Porto-Vecchio (20144), Corse-du-Sud, offered to short-stay guests who do not take up residence there.
The property is let directly by its owners, with no agency or middleman. All correspondence, the quote and the contract are with them.
This page sets out the general terms. The terms that bind you are those of the holiday rental contract sent to you, which prevails in the event of any discrepancy.
Any enquiry made through the availability calendar or by email gives rise to a personal quote within 24 hours, valid for 7 days. The quote states the rent, the end-of-stay cleaning, the tourist tax and any extras.
The booking becomes firm when the holiday rental contract is signed and a 30% deposit of the total is paid. The contract states the identity of the parties, the dates, the number of occupants and the total amount.
The balance is due 30 days before the arrival date. For a booking made less than 30 days before arrival, the full amount is payable at the time of booking.
Bank transfer or cheque. No commission is charged.
Prices are set by personal quote, in euros.
| Included in the rent | Charged separately |
|---|---|
| Rental of the furnished property | Tourist tax |
| Water and electricity for normal use | End-of-stay cleaning |
| Pool, spa and garden | Mid-stay cleaning |
| Linen and towels, beds made | Private chef, transfers |
| Fibre wifi and air conditioning | Wood for the pizza oven beyond the starter supply |
A security deposit, the amount of which is stated in the contract, is handed over on arrival. It is returned within 7 days of departure, after the check-out inventory, less any damage or the replacement of missing items.
| Cancellation by the guest | Consequence |
|---|---|
| More than 60 days before arrival | Deposit refunded, less the administration fee |
| Between 60 and 30 days | 30% deposit retained |
| Less than 30 days | Full amount of the stay due |
| No-show or early departure | Full amount of the stay due |
We strongly recommend taking out cancellation insurance covering illness, accident and cancelled travel. Flights and ferry crossings to Corsica add up to a sizeable outlay.
Should we have to cancel — for instance because damage makes the property uninhabitable — every sum paid is refunded without delay.
The villa is let for a maximum of 14 people, the number stated in the contract. Accommodating additional undeclared guests may lead to immediate termination of the contract without refund. Daytime visitors are tolerated and must be notified to us.
The guest declares that they hold holiday public liability insurance covering any damage they might cause to the property and its equipment.
The owners cannot be held liable for theft, loss or damage to personal belongings, nor for interruptions of service beyond their control — water, electricity or internet outages.
Any complaint should be sent to contact@locationdevillacorse.com. In the event of a dispute, the parties will first seek an amicable solution.
Failing agreement, the consumer may refer the matter free of charge to a consumer ombudsman, then bring proceedings before the courts having jurisdiction where the property is located. These terms are governed by French law.
In accordance with article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to accommodation services supplied on a specific date or for a specific period.
