IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL HOLIDAY-MAKERS

As you are aware, the properties offered are not official tourist structures, such as hotels, residences, etc. but private houses. Being such, they do not have standards or categories that are internationally recognised, indeed they reflect, in their architecture and furnishings, the local traditions and the personal taste of the owner. This is precisely the kind of holiday that is offered: the chance to partake in the culture of the area chosen, living for a few weeks in the same surroundings as an inhabitant would. In order to live this experience in the right spirit, it is important not only that the holiday-maker accepts but also that he will be able to appreciate the differences in the properties proposed in comparison with those where he normally lives. Any extra services and events (for example chef dinners, cooking lessons, wedding parties) that renters would like to arrange on the property grounds need to be authorized in advance by the property owners.


LAW AND JURISDICTION

This agreement is between the holiday-maker/guest (the renter) and the agency or property owner. In the event of controversies, all matters are handled by the courts of the country where the property or property manager is located (United States of America).


Court of Jurisdiction will either be Delaware; San Francisco, California; or The city in which the rental property is located.
