    a) The client has filled out and signed the enclosed booking form. This form is binding.
    b) Advance payment of 30% of the total due, if booking is made 60 days prior to the start of rental.
    c) The total balance is due by and no later than 45 days before the start of rental. In the event of booking 60 days prior to the start of rental, the client shall make the total payment immediately.
    d) Payment can be made by means of bank transfer, personal cheque, registered cheque, postal money order or by means of VISA/MASTERCARD.
    Please note: fax, e-mail or telephone bookings shall remain valid for maximum seven days. The payment due and the form duly filled out and signed must be received within this time: booking shall otherwise be cancelled.
  3. On our receipt of payment, we shall send the client his booking confirmation which must be handed to the renter to be able to take possession of the rented unit, valid for the names and the period written thereon. It is prohibited to transfer the voucher to others or to show up in a greater number of persons than those indicated in the voucher, given that apartment occupation is limited to the number of persons mentioned in the voucher. The owner can refuse access to the persons in excess.
  4. Arrivals are expected on Saturday between 4:00 pm and 7:30 pm. Departures must be effected on Saturday, by and no later than 9:00 am.
  5. On arrival, the client must pay the owner or his appointee a deposit as specified in the price-list. The deposit will be returned at the time of departure, but for holding back sums owed for any damage caused or for expenses not included in the contract (telephone, heating, etc.). In the event this payment is not made, the person responsible reserves the right to refuse the keys.
  6. The tenant undertakes to occupy the accommodations respecting the rules of a good neighbor. The client himself must see to cleaning dishes and kitchen materials, as these are not included in final cleaning. The apartments are handed over to the client clean and in order. The condition of accommodations correspond to the catalogue description updated on the basis of information provided by the owners.
  7. The apartments are equipped with the comforts explicitly listed in the catalogue. The client who does not intend to accept the condition of the rented accommodations must do so at the moment he enters, in the presence of the renter or his appointee and, in the event of a serious matter, also to the Stagioni del Chianti person responsible who can be reached by the owner. If the client leaves the unit rented before speaking with the Stagioni del Chianti appointee, he loses all right to a possible reimbursement.
  8. Cancellation Norms: Should the client decide to cancel his booking, he shall be entitled to a reimbursement of the price paid after withholding the following percentages.
    - 10% of the total price, if the waiver is received before 90 days of the start of stay

    - 100% if the waiver is received within 39 days prior to the start of stay.

Should the renter succeed in occupying the unit object of waiver for the same period, only 10% of the total prices shall be withheld. Stagione del Chianti reserves the faculty to substitute the accommodations booked with an offer of equal value in the event of serious unexpected occurrence. In the event of force majeure (war, natural calamity, fire, etc.), on the other hand, Stagioni del Chianti can cancel the contract and reimburse the sum paid.
  9. For any legal controversies, the Court of Florence shall have exclusive competence. Signing the booking form and booking itself implies knowledge of the rental conditions and involves their acceptance without reserve or exceptions. The person who signs the form shall be held responsible for the rental.

  11. Most properties do not admit animals. Please consult the price-list and, in any event, notify of the presence of pets before confirming booking. Failure to declare the presence of animals shall give rise to immediate booking cancellation with no right to reimbursement.
