Rental Terms and Conditions
GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE
The registration, the use of services and the use of https://www.cinqueterreriviera.com owned and managed by Cinque Terre Riviera Incoming Tour Operator belonging to Cinque Terre Riviera snc entails acceptance by the user of the General Conditions mentioned below.
https://cinqueterreriviera.com/ is available for daily, weekly or monthly rentals. The owner of the property (the “Owner”) has given the Agent the authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the terms under which You will lease the property through the Agent. Registration and use of services are accessible only to adults with the capacity to act. Customers wishing to register are required to disclose only their personal data and guarantee that such data are true, correct and up to date.
Prices are calculated in Euro and cover the room / villa / apartment stay mentioned in the booking.
The price does NOT include personal expenses, such as mini-bar, telephone calls, wifi, pay TV use or other services offered by the room / villa / apartment
You agree that check-in time is no earlier than 3:00 PM (unless prior arrangements have been made and agreed to in writing) and no later than 6:00 P.M.
Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Premises ready for Your occupancy at check-in time, but Agent cannot guarantee the exact time of occupancy.
If You foresee that You will be delayed in arriving at the room / villa / apartment, You must contact the number we provide on the information sheet and on the voucher in your possession and notify the delay. In the event that you request an ASSISTED late check-in and Agent can accomplish the request, You agree to pay a late check-in fee if you need assisted check-in. Otherwise keys will be left near property and you’ll be given instructions to pick them up at no extra cost.
Failing to receive any communication about your late arrival the Agent will leave keys by the property and no assistance will be given
Assisted lata check-in is possible only on request with assigned time and up to 10:00 pm, price is 80,00 euros.
Check-in fees will be lowered in case of real emergencies at owners and managers discretion, but consider that providing assistance in the Cinque Terre at late hours is extremely complicated for our assistants since they might not have trains to go back to their homes.
In case of early arrival, before 3:00 p.m., I am aware that owners and home managers will do their best to let me leave my bags at property and if possible to check-in earlier. No fee required.
In Vernazza is available a baggage storage room: 2.50 eur per bag per day
1. Check-out is within 10:00
You’ll be told on arrival where to leave keys in case of early check-out.
If a damage deposit had been taken, the assistants will tell us to release it only after survey to the apartment
2. Late check out
Since you rented a private property and not hotel, late check-out is generally not possible since caretakers need time to clean and prepare the room / apartment for the following guests.
Usually we can check if we can allow you a few hours after 10:30 check-out only one day before your departure when we know the other guests moves.
In the event You return to the Premises without the consent of the Agent after turning in the keys and checking out, a fee equal to the rental rate for one (1) day will be assessed to You. In the event that you request an early check-in CINQUE TERRE RIVIERA will do its best to accomplish your request, but no guarantee will be given to this extent and won’t be responsible for delays in having the property cleaned and ready for early check-in.
