  • Cancellation more than 60 days before arrival: 50% refund. Less than 60 days before arrival: no refund.
  • In the event that the Tenant changes the dates of the stay, this will constitute a new reservation and shall be subject to the cancellation conditions.
  • Should we be unable to accommodate the Tenant in the apartment booked, and the Tenant refuses to stay in another apartment in similar conditions, the Tenant will be refunded all money paid (except the part corresponding to the days that the apartment was used, if that is the case).

You expressly acknowledge that the contracted accommodation does not constitute your residence and cannot be used for purposes other than temporary residence, giving you only a right of use of the same during the contracted period.

Having confirmed your reservation by making a partial or full payment or by signing the “Guest-specific data sheet” of the Seasonable Lease Agreement, you admit that you have read, understood and accepted the Agreement all the terms and conditions in full.
