Terms and conditions*

1. Reservations
Reservations can be made by e-mail, telephone, fax or mail.

2. Reservation and payment 
Reservations can be made by e-mail, telephone, fax or mail. To confirm the reservation, you have to make a down payment of 30% of the rent.

3. Payment
All payments have to be made in Euro. The tenant has to pay eventual transaction fees himself. The balance has to be in possession of the owner twelve weeks before the start of the rental period. If you make a reservation within twelve weeks before the start of the rental period you will be asked to pay the full rental sum upon reservation.

4. All inclusive: NO hidden costs
Rental rates include final cleaning, bed linen and towels (one set per week). Please bring your own beach or pool towels. A two-week rental includes an intermediate cleaning and a change of bed linen and towels one week after your arrival as well as the final cleaning.

5. Maximum occupancy 
On reservation you need to indicate exactly how many guests will stay in your gîte at Coulon Laurensac. If you also indicate the number of children, we can make sure the property corresponds exactly to your needs (number of sheets, etc.). So also inform us if any changes occur after the reservation. There will not be accepted any more persons at the property than the accommodation capacity of the gite as shown on our website. No extra guest are allowed to sleep over night, and there are no extra guests allowed to use the facilities on the premises.
The owner is entitled to ask you to leave the property -without any refund- if the number of occupants exceeds the accommodation capacity of the gite as shown on our website.

6. Cancellation by you
To avoid misunderstandings, we wish to remind you that a booking constitutes a legal contract. If you have to cancel due to the ill health of someone in your party or the death of a close relative or any other reason, you owe the following cancellation fees:
– more than twelve weeks before the start of the rental period 30% of the rent
– as off twelve weeks before the start of the rental period or if you have to leave before the end of the rental period: 100% of the rent. After any cancellation the rented accommodation becomes availble to the owner.

7. Insurance 
To be reimbursed for the financial consequences of cancellation we strongly recommend to subscribe to a cancellation insurance. It goes without saying that you have a travel insurance to cover all damages and claims resulting from your vacation.

8. Cancellation by us
It is extremely unlikely that we cancel a confirmed booking. If however, we do cancel a booking, we will inform you as soon as possible. In this case all monies paid by you will be refunded. If we do cancel your booking, our liability is limited to the cost of the original booking and we will not be responsible for any additional losses you suffer as a result of that cancellation.

9. Solving problems
The owners have no wish to have dissatisfied clients and consider it part of the contract to be given the opportunity to put right any complaints the tenant may have. In the unlikely event that the tenant needs to complain, he or she should contact the owners so that they have the opportunity of settling grievances during the stay. The owners cannot accept complaints made after the tenant has returned home if he has not been given the opportunity to put matters right during the tenant’s stay. The owners cannot accept responsibility for the breakdown of supply of water or electricity, nor of the swimming pool filtration system, but will make every effort to solve problems of this nature. If the tenant abandons the gîte before first informing the owners, he or she will lose all rights to compensation.

10. On site presence
Although Chateau Coulon Laurensac is our home and we live here, we cannot guarantee an onsite presence. We are very often home but not always, so it is possible we won’t be there during your stay.
