Can I get a rental contract?

Once you have booked, we will send you an email confirmation with our rental conditions and a rental agreement to return to us.

This confirmation is final if you have paid the entire reservation and receipt in return for the contract.

In the event of payment by check, holiday vouchers or transfer, an option is placed on the gîte until you validate the contract and we receive your full payment or a minimum deposit of 30%. The deadline for receipt of the balance is then specified, generally 30 days. Beyond that, the cottage is put back on sale for the requested period.

In this confirmation email, you will have a personal link which will allow you to find all the information about your reservation. We use the services of "Gîte et Bien" for our reservations and these tools allow us to offer you reservation tracking as if you had reserved on major platforms such as AirBnb, Booking or Gîtes de France.

Sometimes, when the stay is close, we ask you to pay the entire stay or pay the balance upon arrival.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

Yes, it is possible to book with a deposit of 30% of the reservation amount to confirm the reservation.

When your stay is near, we may ask you to pay the entire stay in the deposit or agree with you to pay the balance on the day of your arrival.

What are the cancellation conditions?

Once your reservation is confirmed with payment of the deposit, the cancellation conditions depend on the proximity of the stay. The earlier you are in your stay, the higher the refund since we will have time to offer the accommodation again to other customers. If you cancel shortly before the stay, then we keep part of the reservation amount.

Each reservation is different and has its own cancellation conditions. We invite you to consult our general conditions of sale from the footer of this page or log into your reservation area where the cancellation conditions specific to your stay are indicated.

Can I take out cancellation insurance?

We do not offer cancellation insurance ourselves, but there are many insurance companies on the internet that offer this service. Go to Google and type in “Cancellation insurance”, you will find many.

The best known is that of Europ Assistance, but there are many others. Be careful to compare, it is not the most expensive that are the best.
