BOOKING AND PAYMENT POLICY
To guarantee your reservation, a 30% advance of the total rental cost is required within 5 working days of availability confirmation. This prepayment is due at the time of booking by bank transfer only, in order to guarantee the booking. Please note that bookings will not be considered confirmed without the bank payment receipt. As soon as the payment of the advance is duly processed, Villa Eleven will issue a confirmation invoice to the Renter. At this stage the “requested period” can be considered secured. The balance will have to be paid via bank transfer or cash than your check-in date.
VILLA CAPACITY
The number of persons (adults and children) staying at the Property must not exceed the maximum number of sleeping accomodations indicated in the booking confirmation and reservation voucher, unless specifically authorised in writing. Exceeding this number may invalidate any insurance policy on the Property. Entry or access to the Property may be refused or limited whereas the number of guests exceeds the stated requirement.
CHECK IN/CHECK OUT
Clients are expected to arrive at the property between 14:00 pm and 23:00pm on the first day of the rental period. If a different arrival time is anticipated, notification must be received in writing at info@villaelevenskiathos.com well in advance, or the owner/caretaker may not be available to allow entry. If an unforeseen delay should occur and the arrival would be after 23:00, every effort should be made to contact the owner/caretaker at the telephone number provided in the Accommodation Voucher.
Upon arrival, clients should inspect the property with the owner/caretaker and ensure that they fully understand the use of any appliances, equipment and utilities.
Clients are expected to vacate the property latest at 12:00 noon on the final day of the rental period. The owner/caretaker will arrive at the villa before then for an inspection of the property and presentation of the Final Bill. Should departure be prior to 12:00 noon, clients are requested to notify the owner/caretaker at the beginning of the rental period in order to arrange an alternative time for the property inspection.

UTILITY USAGE AND ENVIRONMENT
Villa Eleven takes special care to minimise the impact we place onto the environment. We feel it is both ours, and our guests’ responsibility to care for the environment. We therefore ask you to think carefully and be thoughtful about the usage of both water and electricity. The electricity consumption is included in the cost of your holiday rental. Some clients unfortunately leave all lights, fans and the air conditioning running 24 hours per day. If you do this then the cost of a week’s electricity is likely to be 3 to 4 times the level of normal household usage. Air conditioning should never be switched on in rooms with either doors or windows open, (which does not serve the purpose of putting on the air conditioning, and can also lead to breakage of the air conditioning system as it will be over-working trying to cool a room to a desired temperature that it will never be able to reach). Fans should also be switched off when the room is not being used, as should lights and other electrical items.
We thank you in advance for your consideration. It not only helps us to keep our rentals prices as low as possible, it also helps protecting our environment.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather conditions can be unpredictable, and can change quickly and significantly. Villa Eleven cannot be made liable for unpleasant or unsuitable weather conditions and no refunds are made for such conditions.
