Security Deposit - Upon your arrival a security deposit of €450 will be payable to the caretaker, if not already collected at time of booking. If the following provisions are met, your deposit will be repaid when you leave the property.  It is understood that should the security deposit not be sufficient to cover damages to the property due to Renter’s actions, the Renter will be held fully responsible. The owner reserves the right to sue if damages exceed the amount of the full security deposit. 

 

 

Care of Property - You are responsible for ensuring that, upon departure, the Villa is left in the same condition of cleanliness and repair as found upon arrival. Any loss or damage caused by your failure to respect fixtures or fittings will be deducted by the caretaker from your security deposit. If you are aware of any damages, please notify the caretaker immediately so that necessary repairs can be made. If damages are identified by you and the caretaker during the final inspection of the property you will be expected to pay for the repairs upon departure. In the event of a disagreement between you and the caretaker regarding the extent of the damage please report your grievance to the owner in writing (e-mail or letter).

Security and insurance issues

 

Ceglie Messapica is a safe environment, however like in most areas, caution needs to be exercised. Windows and doors of all rented properties should be kept locked when Renters are not inside the property. Failure to abide by the foregoing could impede any insurance claim which might otherwise be available.

 

Should the Renter be negligent leaving a way of entry into the rented property to thieves and should property(ies) belonging to owners be stolen, Renters will be responsible to pay for damages or missing owner's property (ies).

 

In case of theft, a police report needs to be filed. There are no guarantees that monies will be recovered from an insurance company claim, as often a large deductible may apply. Insurance claim processing in Italy takes a significant amount of time.

 

Owner shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury to the Renter or the Renter’s agents, or visitors, or to the Renter’s property, for any damage from any cause whatsoever.

 

Renters understand that Renter’s personal valuable properties such as computers, watches, jewels and monies etc... are not covered by the owner's insurance policy, they will therefore bring them at their own risk and should be included in Renter’s home or travel insurance policies.

 

Waiver of Responsibility  

 

    Ultimately, Renters agree they will use the Trulli and its grounds, in its entirety, including garden, swimming pool & pool areas, and common areas of the building at their own risk and agree to hold harmless the owners from any lawsuit.
