Reservations
BELLA VITA VILLAS will accept a reservation on the basis of the apartment’s availability. A reservation is valid only after receiving the deposit. Like most accommodations, we need our bookings to be secured beforehand and for mutually binding reservation we require your guarantee. As a rule, we can make preliminary bookings for you immediately upon your request, depending on your choice and current availability. However, before sending confirmation letter, we will ask you for your credit card number and expiry date. This is both convenient and safe: We have a 100% secure encrypted connection into which to enter your credit card details. If you have not received a confirmation email within a few business hours, please contact us. These details can also be safely sent to us by fax +3908331850464. In rare cases apartments can become no longer available after a booking has been made. This might happen for various reasons from water damage to unscheduled building works. In this case we will attempt to re-accommodate our guests in suitable accommodation of our own choice at a price equivalent to the original agreed upon price. In the case that our own accommodation is not available we will not be held responsible for any extra costs the client bears over and above the original price agreed in securing alternative accommodation. In the case re-accommodation is impossible we issue a full refund.

Payment conditions
Reservations will be confirmed after we receive your form and are able to charge a deposit to secure the reservation. In some properties the balance must be paid 15 days prior to your arrival. Any other extra service requested (e.g. telephone, extra change of bed linen, extra cleaning, baby sitting excursion, ADSL connections etc.) - will be paid in cash on property.
