But in any case, if you wish to arrive earlier or depart later than the mentioned hours, feel free to contact us, and we will fulfil your request if the villa is available with no extra cost. If your arrival will be delayed, you must contact us so that alternative arrangements can be made. If you fail to do so, you may not be able to gain access to the property. If you fail to arrive by midday on the day after the arrival date and you have not contacted us, we may treat the booking as having been cancelled by you.

Any kind of party for more than the people staying in the property must be informed prior to booking the villa, which in some cases might not be accepted, and if accepted, an extra charge might apply. In case you do so, we can refuse to hand over the property to you or can require you to leave.
