  • You agree not to cause any damage to the walls, doors, or windows of the Property nor to do anything that may be reasonably considered to cause a nuisance or annoyance to us or any other occupier of the neighbouring property.
  • You agree to take all necessary steps to safeguard your personal property. No liability to you is accepted in respect of damage to or loss of such property, except where the damage or loss is caused by our negligence.
  • You agree to ensure that each member of your party is covered by comprehensive travel insurance (including cancellation, flight delays, loss, and damage to baggage and other property) and health insurance (including evacuation and repatriation coverage).
  • You can’t allow more people to stay in the Property than expressly authorized, nor can you significantly change the makeup of the party during your stay in the Property, nor can you take your pet into the Property unless it has been arranged in advance. If you do so, we can refuse to hand over the Property to you or can require you to leave it. We will treat any of these circumstances as a cancellation of the booking by you. 
  •  You agree to allow us or any representative of ours access at any reasonable time during your stay for essential repairs.
  • All breakages and losses must be paid for before departure, which normally ends at noon on the last day of rental. In case of late departure, we can extend your stay in the villa only in case, no new clients are expected on the same day.

Group Size: The number of persons (adults and children) must not exceed the number of sleeping places indicated on the web pages except in the case of infants (less than 2 years old) in which a cot or infant bed must be requested. If the maximum number of individuals is exceeded, the Hotel / Villa reserves the right to refuse or revoke the booking.

Check-in/Check-out: Clients are expected to arrive at the property between 14:00 and 21:00 on the first day of the rental period. If a different arrival time is anticipated, the notification must be received in writing at Evergreen rentals offices well in advance, or the owner/caretaker may not be available to permit entry. If an unforeseen delay should occur and the arrival will be after 21:00, every effort should be made to contact the owner/caretaker at the telephone number provided in the Accommodation Voucher.

Upon arrival, clients should inspect the property with the owner/caretaker and ensure that they fully understand the use of any appliances, equipment, and utilities.

Clients are expected to vacate the property at 11 am on the final day of the rental period. The owner/caretaker will arrive at the villa before then for an inspection of the property and presentation of the Final Bill. Should depart before 11 am, clients are requested to notify the owner/caretaker at the beginning of the rental period to arrange an alternative time for the property inspection.

Security deposit: Some accommodation rentals require a security deposit. Either Cash or a credit/debit card in the name of the Party Leader must be given as a security deposit to cover the cost of any accidental damages or breakages to or at the rental property. The amount is set by the Owner and will normally be collected upon arrival at the property. The cost of utilities and/or other services used, or any damage caused by the Renter will be deducted from the security deposit and the remaining balance will be returned.THE OWNER OR HIS REPRESENTATIVE CAN REFUSE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY IF THE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS NOT PAID AT THE TIME OF ARRIVAL (If requested). Should the Renter decide to leave the property prematurely the owner or his representative is authorized to refund the deposit to the Renter by post (less any deductions for damages or any additional expenses) and only after having checked the inventory and the property in question. Evergreen declines all responsibility in the event of a dispute between the Renter and the Owner regarding the deposit. The Renter agrees to indemnify the Owner for any damages to the dwelling or grounds and to furnishings, caused by the negligence of the guest or any member of his/her party that occur during the guests’ stay.

Liability and complaints: Every effort has been made to ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable holiday. If, however, you have any cause for complaint remedial action must be taken as soon as possible. 

Evergreen rentals are not responsible for loss or damage to clients because of circumstances beyond their control, such as failure of public supplies or transportation, acts by governments, civil disturbances, acts of God, etc. Travel Insurance coverage should be obtained. If the Renter or his guests have any problems during their stay, they must notify the Owner or Owner’s Representative immediately. Should the Owner or Owner’s Representative not be available, the Renter shall contact the number of the Evergreen rental previously provided with the voucher. Complaints notified after vacating the property cannot be taken into consideration.

It is essential that you contact us if any problem arises so that it can be speedily resolved. It is often extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible) to resolve difficulties properly unless we are promptly notified. Discussion of any criticisms with us whilst you are in residence will usually enable shortcomings to be rectified straightaway. Complaints of a transient nature (for example, regarding preparation or heating of the Property) cannot possibly be investigated unless registered whilst you are in residence.

If any complaint cannot be resolved during your holiday, you must write to us with full details within 14 days of the end of it. 

Extra Services: The Extra Services available at each property are detailed on our website. Extra Services may be requested up to 14 days before the first day of the rental period, but we cannot guarantee fulfillment of any Extra Services requested as these are provided by third parties. We do our utmost to ensure that the individual engaged to perform the service professionally fulfils their duties, but we are not liable for any inadequacies.

Swimming Pools: Swimming pools are generally open from early May till the end of October, although this may vary according to the weather and the property owner’s inclinations. Clients should check with Evergreen rentals. Use of the swimming pool is strictly at the client’s own risk and children should be always supervised.

Pets: The Renter is obliged to advise Evergreen at the time of booking if he/she is bringing any pets with them and they should communicate numbers and sizes. Pets are admitted only under request and only at certain properties. Please let us know that you are looking for a “Pet Friendly” villa or home when making your reservation. The Renter must supervise pet(s) within the communal areas of the accommodation. “Not authorized” pets give Evergreen the right to terminate the guest’s occupancy of the dwelling and reservation. The guests will also forfeit all rent and may be charged a cleaning fee.

Termination by the owner: If the owner of a property elects to remove his property from the management responsibilities of Evergreen rentals, the guest agrees to hold Evergreen rentals harmless. In such cases, we agree to provide the Guest with a comparable property at the original rate. If comparable properties are not available, the guest agrees to accept a full refund of all monies the guest has paid for the rental of the property during the agreed rental period in place of any other possible damages. Evergreen rentals and the Owner reserve the absolute right to require any individual to vacate a rental property for disruptive behaviour without any refund.

Property substitution: In the event, a reserved property becomes unavailable due to maintenance, transfer, or other issues, Evergreen rentals reserves the right to provide Guests with a comparable substitute property; or, at its sole discretion, to cancel the booking and refund the unused portion of rent.
