Reservations for accommodation are accepted by the owner on the following conditions:

1. Provisional reservations can be accepted by telephone and must be confirmed within 5 working days by our receipt of a completed booking form together with a reservation fee as detailed on our Tariff Schedule.

2. Once confirmation of the booking has been issued by the Owner, the Hirer is responsible for the total advertised price shown on the booking form. The balance of the total rent is due 6 weeks prior to arrival, together with a Security Deposit of £100.00 (this is held against any charges incurred as a result of any breach by the hirer of the conditions, eg breakages, damages, additional cleaning etc. Where no liability for charges is incurred, this security deposit will be returned within a minimum of 14 working days).

3. For bookings made less than 8 weeks before arrival the total amount of rental, plus the £100 security deposit is payable with the booking form.

4. Any cancellation must be in writing. The deposit is then forfeited and the hirer remains, as stated in Paragraph 2 liable for the full balance of hire. Should the apartment be re-let, the balance will normally be refunded less a charge for any additional expenses incurred.

5. All bookings are from Saturday to Saturday (unless otherwise agreed). Guests may arrive at any time after 3.00 pm on day of arrival, and must vacate the apartment by 10.00 am on day of departure. We regret no pets are allowed.

6. The Owners will not be responsible for injury to guests or third parties, or loss/damage of their belongings/baggage. If you wish to insure against these eventualities, please arrange as necessary.

7. No more than seven people plus baby may occupy the apartment at anytime during the period of the let.

8. The owners (or their agent Algarve Accommodation, Agency) reserve the right to enter the apartment at any time during the let for inspection or repairs, to take repossession of the accommodation if, in their opinion, any party acts in a manner which is prejudicial to the well-being and comfort of any neighbours.

9. If the apartment is not available as a result of any eventuality outside the owners’ control, the owners will make a full refund but the hirer shall have no further claim against the owners. (Algarve Accommodation Agency will do their utmost to offer alternative accommodation.)

10 The hirer is responsible for the property and is expected to take all reasonable care of it. The property (including all equipment, utensils, etc) must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period.
