RENTAL POLICY
Bookings
Bookings are made on behalf of Fratelli Pialorsi, as the Owner of the property, at the prices stated on the Villa Reggello website or the applicable Rental Agreement. Rates are based on market conditions applicable at the time of the booking.
Booking and Payment Policy
To secure a booking, the Guest is requested to proceed with the online reservation system on the Villa Reggello website or send an email to booking@villareggello.com. To guarantee your reservation a 33% advance of the total rental is required, at the time of booking, by wire transfer. Please note that bookings will not be considered confirmed without the receipt of the advance. As soon as the payment of the advance is processed, the Owner will issue a confirmation invoice, and at this stage the “requested period” can be considered secured. The balance of the amount due will have to be done via bank transfer or credit card, no later than 30 days prior to your arrival date. Reservations made within 30 days of arrival date require full payment at time of booking. After receipt of the balance due the Guest will be sent full contact details of the property, and instructions as to how to arrive.

Window shutters should be closed when guests are not present as sudden gusts of wind could damage them otherwise.
Bed linen cannot be used outside.
Barbecues and external grills should be used with care as they could spark fires during the summer months (the authorities may prohibit their use). They should not be used on pavements in order to avoid stains: in this latter case the Owner is authorized to demand that the Guests reimburse the costs of cleaning the stained surfaces.
The villa is not connected to a public sewage system but to a small private purification unit / septic tank. Therefore, nothing other than normal toilet paper must be flushed down the toilets.
Given that the villa is located in the countryside, the presence of insects is normal and not necessarily a sign of shortcomings in cleanliness or hygiene.
RV’s, trailers and boats are not allowed in on the villa property.
The Guests must travel along a small gravel driveway to reach the villa, and although the driveway is normally well maintained by the Owner, adverse weather may damage it. This matter should be understood and acknowledged by the Guests.

The swimming pool is not open all the year round (please check before booking), and generally on Fridays in the summer it is closed for a short period in the morning to allow the Owner to undertake weekly maintenance. The pool is not supervised or protected by barriers, which means that the Guests must oversee children themselves. It is forbidden to bring glasses/plates or to eat meals in the swimming pool or to leave inflatable toys or air mattresses in the pool after use. Guests use swimming pools at their own risk. The Guest must also ensure that they comply with the Operating Rules for the Swimming Pool, which are posted by the swimming pool. The Guests hereby expressly exempt the Owner from all liability in the event of an accident.
Complaints
The accommodation is delivered clean and in order. Any complaints regarding the state of the premises will be entertained only if made within 24 hours after arrival. The Guests must leave the accommodation in good condition. Before their departure, Guests must remove the garbage and clean the kitchen. If the accommodation is not returned in the above condition, the Owner or the Property Manager are authorized to withhold €100 of the Accidental Damage Deposit at the time of departure.
Jurisdiction
In the event of controversies arising from the booking and the rental, Italian law will apply. By agreeing to or signing the booking form and by making the booking, the Guest agrees that they have understood these policies and have accepted them without reserve and without exception. If any of the conditions of this contract have become invalid or were invalid or if in this contract there should be a gap, the other conditions cannot be contested.
