Rates & Pricing Transparency

Rates for luxury villas and private rentals can vary across different websites, platforms, or marketing channels. These differences can be due to a variety of factors, including third-party commissions, service fees, currency conversions, outdated availability, or promotional pricing that may not reflect current owner terms. All rates provided through our platform are confirmed directly with property owners or authorized managers at the time of booking review. This process allows us to ensure that pricing, availability, and included services accurately reflect the agreed-upon terms for each reservation.

Cancellation Terms — How They're Set

Cancellation policies vary by property and are determined by individual owners or managers. Refund eligibility, deadlines, and applicable penalties differ depending on the property, destination, and season. All cancellation terms applicable to a reservation will be clearly disclosed and confirmed in writing prior to booking acceptance. By proceeding with a reservation, guests acknowledge and agree to the cancellation policy associated with the selected property. We strongly encourage guests to review all cancellation terms carefully before confirming a booking and to consider purchasing travel insurance to help protect against unforeseen circumstances.
