Villa Terra — Rental terms

Rental terms
& conditions

Furnished seasonal rental of the whole villa (not a primary residence). Applicable to the 2027 season.

1. Purpose

These terms govern the seasonal rental of Villa Terra — a five-bedroom villa with service bedroom and pool, above Lecci (20137). The villa is let whole, furnished and equipped, for residential and leisure use only, for a fixed term with no right of tenure.

2. Capacity

The villa sleeps up to 14 guests. This number may not be exceeded without prior written agreement. Sub-letting is prohibited.

3. Rates

Rents follow the seasonal rate card (public price, whole villa), Saturday to Saturday:

  • Low season — €10,906 / week
  • Mid season — €12,208 / week
  • High season — €16,506 / week
  • Peak season — €19,005 / week
  • Peak season (August) — €20,505 / week

In addition to the rent: housekeeping (cleaning, linen and welcome) — €650 flat fee; tourist tax — €4.40 per person per night; and any optional services selected. Details appear on the firm quote.

4. Booking & payment

A booking becomes firm on receipt of the signed contract and a 40% deposit of the stay amount. The balance is due 30 days before arrival. A security deposit of €5,000 is requested before check-in (card hold) and returned after the check-out inventory, less any damage.

5. Cancellation

Cancellation policy (“Firm” type): cancel 30 days or more before arrival — full refund of amounts paid, deposit included; cancel between 30 and 7 days before arrival — 50% of the stay amount is retained; cancel less than 7 days before arrival — no refund. Any service fees are non-refundable.

6. Arrival & departure

Check-in from 5 pm, check-out before 10 am, unless otherwise arranged. The exact address is shared upon confirmation. The villa hosts only one party at a time.

7. Guest obligations

  • Enjoy the property peacefully and respect neighbours and the maquis environment.
  • Return the villa in the condition in which it was handed over.
  • Hold holiday insurance covering rental liability.

8. Disputes

These terms are governed by French law. Failing an amicable resolution, jurisdiction lies with the courts of the SCI's registered office. Guests may refer the matter to a consumer mediator.

Frequently asked questions

The terms, in plain words

What deposit is required to book?

40 % of the stay on booking. The balance falls due 30 days before arrival. For a booking made less than 30 days before arrival, the full amount is settled at once.

Is there a security deposit?

Yes, €5,000, taken as a card pre-authorisation before the keys are handed over. It is not charged and is released after the check-out inspection, less any damage found.

What is added to the weekly rate?

Three items only: end-of-stay housekeeping, a flat €650; tourist tax at €4.40 per person per night, paid to the commune; and any optional services you choose. No booking fee, no platform commission.

What are the arrival and departure times?

Arrival from 4 pm on Saturday, departure before 10 am the following Saturday. Rental runs Saturday to Saturday. A shift can be discussed with the concierge subject to the calendar.

How many people can stay at the villa?

14 guests in five bedrooms. The service studio can accommodate additional staff — nanny, chef, housekeeper — for up to 18 beds in total. Any excess must be declared and agreed before arrival.

Are pets and smoking allowed?

The villa is non-smoking indoors; the terraces are unrestricted. Pets are not accepted. Neither point admits exceptions: they protect the condition of the house for the stays that follow.

What happens in the event of cancellation?

The terms are set out in the contract issued at booking. We strongly recommend taking out cancellation insurance: on a whole-villa stay it covers an amount out of all proportion to its cost.
