Frequently asked questions

Answers to what guests ask us most

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 15:00, provided the online check-in has been completed in advance. Check-out is by 10:00. If you need different times, write to us: where possible we try to accommodate.

Is there anything to do before arriving?

Yes: the online check-in must be completed before arrival. It is a quick formality required by Italian law for guest registration. Where due, the tourist tax is also payable; how it is collected depends on the channel you booked through.

Is there a minimum number of nights?

It depends on the period: usually two nights, three in the busiest periods, and on some dates a single night is possible. Each apartment’s calendar shows the free dates: pick your arrival and departure and you will immediately see whether the period is bookable and at what price.

How does payment work if I book on the website?

Booking directly, 50% is paid at the time of booking; the remaining 50% is requested seven days before arrival.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. For bookings made through our website, cancellation is free with a full 100% refund of what you have paid, up to 14 days before check-in. For later cancellations the conditions shown during booking apply. If you booked through Airbnb or Booking.com, the terms of that channel apply.

Can the entire villa be rented?
