General terms and conditions of rental

1. Purpose

These terms apply to the holiday rental of the seven furnished apartments of Villa Iché-Poggi, at Ruppione (20166 Pietrosella, Corsica), offered by Madame Jacqueline Iché, sole trader (SIRET 329 963 243 00038). The rental is granted for a fixed period and for holiday use only; the tenant may not use it as a main residence.

2. Booking

Bookings are made online in our secure booking area (Lodgify) or on request. Depending on the apartment, the booking is instant or subject to our confirmation. It becomes final once the deposit is received: the sum paid on booking is a firm deposit (acompte under French law, not arrhes), which commits both parties (article L.214-1 of the French Consumer Code). The tenant must be of legal age and the booking is personal: it may not be transferred or sublet.

3. Prices

Prices are given in euros, per night, for the apartment. They vary with the season and the length of stay. The following are added: end-of-stay cleaning (amount shown on each apartment page), booking service fees, the tourist tax set by the local authority and, optionally, bed linen and towels (€20 per person). The breakdown is displayed before you confirm the booking.

Discounts: only one discount applies per stay, the most favourable one. Discounts apply to the price of the nights, excluding cleaning, linen, fees and tourist tax.

4. Payment

• A 30% deposit is paid on booking.
• The balance is due 15 days before arrival, for all apartments. It is charged automatically to the card registered at booking.
• Payment by bank card via Stripe or by bank transfer.

5. Cancellation by the tenant

Any cancellation must be notified in writing (email). As the deposit is a firm commitment, the price of the stay remains due if you cancel. As a goodwill gesture, however, we apply the following scale:

• cancellation at least 30 days before arrival: 50% of the deposit is refunded;
• cancellation between 30 and 15 days before arrival: the deposit is retained;
• cancellation less than 15 days before arrival, or no-show: the full price of the stay is due (the balance having been charged 15 days before arrival).

At our discretion, the deposit may be carried over to another stay within 12 months of the planned arrival date instead of being retained. A shortened stay gives no right to a refund. We strongly recommend taking out cancellation insurance.

In accordance with article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to accommodation services provided on a specific date.

6. Cancellation by the owner

Should we have to cancel the booking, all sums paid would be refunded in full.

7. Security deposit

A security deposit is taken as a card pre-authorisation (Stripe) the day before arrival: €250 for Vermentinu, Codicerta, Brustianu, Aleatico and Muresconu, and €300 for Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu. It is released 4 days after departure. Nothing is charged unless damage, loss or clearly insufficient cleaning is found, with supporting evidence.

8. Check-in and check-out

• Vermentinu, Codicerta and Brustianu: check-in from 3 pm, check-out by 11 am.
• Aleatico, Muresconu, Niellucciu and Sciaccarellu: check-in from 4 pm, check-out by 10 am.

Check-in is self-service (key box); instructions are sent before your stay. Please let us know if you will arrive late.

9. During your stay

• The number of occupants may not exceed the capacity stated for the apartment.
• Pets are not allowed.
• The apartments are non-smoking; smoking is allowed on the terraces and balconies.
• The tenant uses the premises peacefully, respects the neighbours and reports any malfunction or damage without delay.
• The tenant is liable for any damage caused during the stay and is advised to check that their insurance covers holiday rentals.

10. Inventory and condition

A description and an inventory of the apartment are available. Any issue found on arrival must be reported to us within 24 hours. The apartment must be left in good condition and tidy.

11. Complaints and mediation

Any complaint should be sent to resa@villa-iche.fr. If a disagreement persists, a consumer tenant may use the consumer mediator free of charge: [mediator to be completed].

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. The French version prevails in case of discrepancy with this translation.
