Reservation, payment & cancellation
At La Villa Magnifica, we understand that travel plans can change. Life sometimes brings the unexpected, and while we would love to welcome every guest as planned, we aim to keep our cancellation policy as clear and fair as possible for both sides.
Reservation and Payment Terms
-
A reservation is considered confirmed only upon receipt of a deposit equal to 25% of the total rental amount, as specified in the booking confirmation.
-
The full rental amount must be paid no later than 30 days prior to arrival.
-
A security deposit of €500 is mandatory. Provided the villa is returned without damage or excessive wear, the deposit will be refunded within ten (10) days of departure.
-
A cleaning fee of €300 per stay is required and will be added to the total rental amount.
-
In the event of non-payment or incomplete payment, the owner reserves the right to cancel the reservation. The deposit is non-refundable
Flexible, yet considerate
Our villa is a private retreat, prepared in detail for every booking. Because we block availability once a reservation is confirmed, cancellations can impact both our team and future guests. To balance flexibility with respect for our preparation, the following rules apply:
- Free cancellation within 48 hours of booking, provided the check-in date is at least 30 days away.
- Up to 60 days before arrival: a full refund of the total booking amount.
- 30–59 days before arrival: a 50% refund of the total booking amount.
- Less than 30 days before arrival: unfortunately, no refund can be given.
Changes to your stay
If you wish to adjust your travel dates instead of cancelling, please contact us directly. Where availability allows, we are happy to reschedule your stay. Any difference in seasonal pricing will apply.
No-shows and early departures
Guests who do not arrive as scheduled (“no-shows”) will be charged the full booking amount. Early departures are considered a cancellation of unused nights and are non-refundable.
Travel insurance
We strongly recommend arranging travel insurance to cover unexpected events such as illness, flight disruptions, or personal emergencies. This provides peace of mind and ensures that you are protected should your plans change at the last minute.
Exceptional circumstances
In rare situations where travel is impossible due to force majeure (for example: government restrictions, natural disasters, or public health emergencies), we will review the circumstances case by case. Where possible, we will offer to reschedule your booking or provide a partial refund.
How to cancel
Cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to info@lavillamagnifica.com. Your cancellation is confirmed once you receive a written acknowledgment from us.
A final note
Our cancellation policy is designed to respect both your needs as a traveler and the care we put into preparing the villa for your stay. If you have any doubts, questions, or special circumstances, please reach out to us. We believe clear communication is the key to ensuring your experience with La Villa Magnifica remains warm, fair, and stress-free.
