The arrangements are made subject to the following conditions and receipt of booking fee is confirmation that the client understands, accepts, and agrees to these conditions. The name “Baillie Properties” refers to the properties, and their representatives and employees.

When booking, the client shall pay the specified deposits. When the company accepts the booking the deposit will be retained and go towards the cost of the client’s holiday. The company cannot accept responsibility for any delays in receipt of the deposit and confirmation of the same. An invoice for the remaining balance will be sent ten weeks before departure for immediate payment.

We hope we do not have to make any changes to your holiday; however, the company reserves the right to alter or cancel any holiday arrangements, schedules, or accommodation. If in any event the accommodation chosen cannot be provided for any reason beyond our control before the departure date the company undertakes to offer either alternative arrangements or a refund for the accommodation.

If clients should cancel the holiday, or the company cancels the arrangements due to the clients’ failure to pay the balance within the time allowed before departure, a cancellation charge will be levied based on the following:

• More than 70 days – Loss of Deposit only or it can be used against another stay
• 69 – 35 days – 50% Cost of villa rental
• 34 days or fewer – 100% Cost of the rental

All cancellations must be notified in writing. The effective date of cancellation is the date that your cancellation reaches our office. Clients are strongly urged to take out holiday cancellation insurance to cover any losses. The company cannot accept liability for changes in facilities that may occur from time to time in the interim period of booking to arrival.

All villas are self catering and strictly non-smoking; smoking inside the property will affect your security deposit. Smoking is allowed on the pool deck. Clients are required to leave the villa in a clean and tidy condition. All pool towels must be washed and dried. All dishes and glassware returned to their appropriate locations or left in the dishwasher. If the oven is used it must be left clean. If the company cleaners are required to carry out any of the above it will result in a charge against your security deposit. The charges are on display in the villa information brochure; please ensure you read this information as soon as possible after arrival.
