This deposit will be wholly returned on departure after a possible deduction due to damage caused in the lodging and possible inclusive additional expenses in the price of the lease. If the vacationer refuses to pay the deposit, the Owner or his/her representative shall be entitled to refuse to deliver the keys of the premises.

ORDER – CLEANING HEATING Lodgings are delivered clean and in perfect order. The vacationer has to pay the amount to the Owner or his/her representative (in Euro currency) regarding the cleaning of lodging as indicated on the web pages (where the form requires it). The amount doesn't include the cleaning of the kitchen and garbage removal, which should be carried out by the vacationer. Failing these conditions the Owner or his/her representative is entitled to demand an extra expense in addition to the amount due. Due to the energetic supplies situation and the current laws in Italy, the use of heating (period of lighting, turning off, temperature) is regulated by laws which vary from region to region. Generally the heating system works from November to April. Heating, which is never included in the lease price, will therefore be available in this period. 11. EXTERNAL MAINTENANCE If necessary the Owner, or his/her representative may have to enter the property to carry out certain operations of maintenance (garden, swimming pool, etc...) and to check the good functioning of the systems. 12. ANNULMENTS Cancellation of a booking, even if replaced by another one, foresees the payment of the following penalties: - up to 80 days before arrival 15% of the total amount - from 79 days up to 50 days before arrival 25% of the total amount - from 49 days up to 30 days before arrival 50% of the total amount - from 29 days up to 24 hours before arrival 90% of the total amount - after 24 hours before arrival 100% of the total mount over possible other extras. 13. LIABILITY Each lodging has been visited and checked by Ville Casali. The descriptions in the web pages are correct and compiled in good faith; Ville Casali is not liable for possible changes brought by the Owner and unknown to the same, except when there is an impossibility of total or partial execution of the contract when the vacationer is not interested in having a partial execution of the same. In case of problems, the vacationer is forced to do the best he/she can, resolving and minimizing the dilemma so as to avoid prejudices that could arise. The vacationer must grant the necessary time to let the Owner resolve the possible problem, as vacationers who leave the premises before the date agreed, will lose every right to a possible reimbursement, unless he/she has a legal cancellation right. Should the vacationer raise objection at the end of the stay, he will lose any right to reimbursement. In the case of situations beyond the Owner’s control, in which he will be compelled to cancel the reservation of his premises, the Owner, in accordance with the vacationer, will then assign him/her a peer category lodging, providing that the Owner is able to offer such solution to the vacationer. If the substitutive lodging price is lower, the Owner will reimburse the difference to the vacationer. If an agreement between the two parts cannot be found, they will be authorized to cancel the contract. The Owner will refund the vacationer the lease price paid only and not any other kind of reimbursement. Important advice for vacationers: One must remember that the lodgings proposed by the Owners are not official tourist structures like hotels, residences, etc. but private houses. It is for this reason they do not posses a standard or international recognized category, but they mirror the architectonic style and furnishing of the local tradition and of the Owner’s personal taste. And this is the type of vacation Ville Casali wants to propose: one of discovery of the local culture and life style, if only for a few weeks, in the same environment as the person who lives there. In order to live this experience at its best, it is important that the vacationers accept and appreciate the possible differences which may arise between the lodgings proposed by the Owners and those where they usually live. On its behalf, Ville Casali has been careful to select such lodgings with criteria in which the European citizen and the citizen of the World may find great satisfaction. Nevertheless, there is the possibility that these differences may create some uneasiness, which- being connected to the characteristics of the architecture and local traditions - cannot be accepted as complaints. 14. Juridical Competence For whatever controversy regarding reservation or lease, the place of jurisdiction is the city where the estate is situated. The Italian law is applicable. Reservation implicates the knowledge of the General Ville Casali Conditions and involves their acceptance without exception. Should any of the conditions of this contract be or become void or if a default occurs, the effectiveness of the remaining conditions cannot be summoned. 15.
