Terms and Conditions.

Fair Trading Terms

The Villas Residence ("The Hotel"), requests that Clients are aware of the following terms and conditions for private reservations or events (eg: filming, photoshoots and group bookings), to the exclusion of all/any other terms and conditions, and is subject to English Law. Any additional terms specific to events are shown in italics.

1 Reservations

A booking is only guaranteed when confirmed in writing by email, letter or fax. For any unconfirmed bookings we will require payment in full on arrival. The hotel will require full, valid credit card details, unless agreed otherwise. For all private reservations we request a credit card imprint on arrival. For events, the deposit should be paid within seven days - the Hotel will treat the reservation as unconfirmed until the deposit has been received. For certain events, either stage payments or payment in full prior to the event will be requested. The number of persons detailed in the confirmation represents the number to be charged for. Any increase in numbers must be with the consent of the hotel and will be charged for at the agreed rate. For any reduction in numbers in excess of 10% of the original booking, the hotel reserves the right to collect cancellation charges as shown in section 2. For non-residential functions including photoshoots, final numbers attending must be given no later than 7 days prior to the event, and any subsequent decrease will be charged for in full. A postponement of an event will be considered as a cancellation, and will be liable for charges as shown in section 2.

2 Cancellation Charges

In the unfortunate event that it is necessary to cancel your reservation(s), or reduce the number of your party, please ensure you notify us as soon as possible, either in writing or by email. The Hotel will charge for any cancellation or reduction in numbers, based on the following criteria:

For Guest Bookings  For Events, Filming or Photoshoots 

   24 to 12 weeks prior 25% 

   11 to 3 weeks prior 50% 

   20 days to 6 days prior 75%
