Booking Conditions

Your holiday Agreement is with Villas Portugal Limited and is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (references to the "booking calendar" are those calendars on this site):-

1. On receipt of an email expressing interest in booking available holiday week(s), then we will make a provisional booking but only for up to 5 working days from the date of receipt of the email.  A provisional booking for the same party may only be made for up to 3 weeks in any calendar year.

2. A booking is only reserved once a deposit of 25% of the full amount has been paid. If the 25% deposit is not paid within 5 working days then the relevant week(s) will be available to others.

3. If we receive a request for a provisional booking from 2 parties, then we will reserve the booking for the party who first pays the deposit.

4. A booking is only confirmed if the remaining amount (full amount less the deposit paid) has been paid within 60 days prior to the start of the reserved week(s). Villas Portugal Limited will endeavour to remind you of the need to send the remaining amount although we take no responsibility for doing so.

5. If the booking is within 60 days of the holiday, then the full amount is payable and the booking is not confirmed until the full amount is paid.

6. If the remaining amount is not received and a deposit paid, then Villas Portugal Limited will not refund the deposit if notice of cancellation is not received prior to the holiday.

If the booking is cancelled between 14 and 30 days, then a refund from Villas Portugal Ltd of only 50% is payable. Any cancellation within 30 days may be eligible for a greater refund up to 100% of that paid at the absolute discretion of Villas Portugal Ltd.

8. Wherever possible, we will transfer bookings to an alternative available holiday week(s).

9. On arrival a cash bond is payable to the villa manager and is returnable at the end of your holiday at the villa manager’s discretion dependent upon the respect you give to the villa and villa manager. If any items are damaged or missing from the villa on your departure or any aspect of the villa requires an unreasonable amount of cleaning following your booking, some or all of the cash bond may be withheld and in respect of villa keys or gate openers, a minimum of 50 Euros will be deducted from the cash bond.
