Terms & Conditions
The following terms and conditions form the basis of your contract between you and the owners of the property you are wishing to rent, which we accept on the owner’s behalf.
Our Villa Rentals acts as a booking agent for the properties that we book on your behalf. When you make a booking, you are entering into a contract with the Owner via Our Villa Rentals and not with Our Villa Rentals itself. As an agent, we do not accept responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Owner.
We do not act in any other capacity and do not enter into any contract with you in respect of the rental of your property which will at all times be with the owner. The owner’s own terms and conditions (where they have them) will apply in addition to these terms and conditions of booking and in the event there is any conflict between any provision of these terms and conditions of booking and the owner’s terms and conditions, the relevant provision of the owner’s terms will take precedence. A copy of the owner’s terms will be made available at the time of booking or earlier on request where Our Villa Rentals has received these.
As an agent, Our Villa Rentals’s responsibilities are limited to the provision of information in respect of properties which may be suitable for your requirements, facilitating your booking of your chosen property where requested to do so and otherwise communicating between you and the owner in respect of your booking. The information we provide is obtained from the owners or their representatives and is passed on in good faith.
The villa prices provided as reservation quotations by Our Villa Rentals include accommodation, linen, towels and pool towels as well as cleaning and any other inclusions as listed on ours and/or the owners website and are included within the owners offering. Any additional extras such as boat and car hire and Spa Treatments are arranged and paid for locally and are by no means part of a package arranged by Our Villa Rentals.

They must be dealt with there and then directly between you and the supplier.
