Rental Rules

1. Leasing of the villa is for the sole purpose of residential housing of the agreed Guests for the specific period of time and for no other use unless otherwise agreed with the Owner (the property names may differ due to privacy reasons). Decorative items in the Villa might differ from the photos. The total number of guests cannot exceed the number identified in this agreement or on the Company’s website. Parties, weddings, receptions and other such functions which draw additional neighborhood traffic will require advance written permission, and other requirements and fees as deemed necessary. In order to protect owner privacy & security, AGENCY AND RENTAL CLIENTS are not permitted to contract outside concierge service providers without BlueVillas permission. Failure to do so may result in the denial of allowing providers to enter into the villa. In the event that outside providers are found working inside the villa, BlueVillas reserves the right to cancel the service immediately and will not be responsible for any monetary loss of service.

2. Security deposit is the sum of money that the guest gives in cash during the check-in process of the villa, or by bank transfer with the final payment of the stay, as safeguard against damages made to the property. If no damages occur during your stay, the sum is given back in full and in cash at check- out or returned via bank transfer within 15 days after the check-out.

The cost of damages or repairing will be deducted from the security deposit. In the exceptional case where the costs of repairing/replacing of any proven damages exceed the Security Deposit, the Guest accepts to cover the additional cost upon presentation of the relevant invoices. Examples of typical security deposit charges include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Replacement of broken appliances, TVs, audio or electrical equipment
• Repair and/or replacement of damaged furniture, window blinds, doors, windows, floors, bathroom showers, mirrors, wash basins, etc.

• Water replacement and system cleaning due to broken glasses inside the swimming pool

4. Flight/Ferry Changes and Delays: Airline flight and ferry changes and delays are unfortunate but are an inherent risk of travel and outside the control or responsibility of BlueVillas and the villa owner.
