You can contact anytime by call or by email.
To allow time for cleaning (especially during high season), we would ask you to arrive only between 4pm and 7pm on the first day of your stay, If your arrival is delayed please contact us.
This is not possible as the accommodation will need to be cleaned and prepared for the next guest. The owner of the property may be able to advise if local chargeable facilities are available for you to use.
We are more than happy to arrange any additional services for you. We offer amongst others: concierge, butler, chef or cook services, extra maid hours, sightseeing tours, airport transfers, follow-me service, pre-arrival shopping, car rentals, private jets, flights and many more! It is strongly recommended that any extra services are booked well in advance of your holiday to avoid disappointment. Please note that a service charge applies.

Yes all of our properties have their own private swimming pools. Some swimming pools have safety features such as pool alarms, covers and fences, but not all.

Once a property has undergone the initial checklist of having a great location, excellent facilities and is very well-presented, we then carry out a rigorous inspection.
An ‘On Request’ property is one where we need to double check the availability and therefore it cannot be booked and paid for immediately.
For each property the maximum capacity is clearly stated on the property’s description. This number includes children and infants.
On some of the properties pages the occupancy is detailed as ‘Sleeps # + #’, for example ‘Sleeps 10 + 2’. This means that the property will comfortably accommodate 10 adults, but that an additional 2 guests could potentially be accommodated. However, the additional 2 could be child-sized beds/bedrooms or in separate accommodation which is not up to the same standard as the rest of the property. Obviously this will vary from property to property so please see the property page or ask us for details

Yes, unless otherwise informed at the time of booking.
Your balance is due 30 days prior to your first rental day. You can pay either by credit card, debit card, bank transfer or cheque or PayPal.
As per our booking terms and conditions a security deposit of euro 500 (or higher amount if required) should be lodged at the time of booking.
This is to protect property owners for the cost of any damage or loss caused by willful or accidental damage by you or members of your party.
The deposit is collected, held and returned to you by us in the form of a credit card authorization as detailed on the booking form.
It is incumbent on the property owner to advise us within 14 days of any claim they have in respect of damage, loss or unpaid amounts. Your credit card authorization will be destroyed 28 days after the last day of the stay.
In the event that you or your party does cause damage or loss to a property, you must agree with the owner or agent prior to departure, the cost of damages.
It is usually impossible to reconcile such issues after departure if both parties are unable to agree the extent and cost of damages involved, and in such circumstances, we will debit the amount claimed from your credit card and then inform you in writing.

You are required to report any damage to the property owner or to us, and to bear the cost of repair or replacement.
We are not able to provide insurance cover nor can be held liable for any loss incurred through failure to take adequate insurance.
We suggest that you take out adequate travel insurance. Many credit card companies include holiday insurance as do other more general insurance policies, so you should first check these.
Yes – the accommodation will be fitted with local plug sockets so you will need to provide your own adaptors for any electrical items you take with you.
Probably not, unfortunately. USA DVD players and discs are “Region 1”, while Greek ones are “Region 2”, making them incompatible. Many of our properties have DVD Movies, though, so you don’t need to be entirely without films!
If you have a GSM cell phone, it should work in Europe. Once arrived you can buy a SIM card (you will need your ID for this) and switch your SIM card with it. Alternatively you can rent a GSM phone before you leave. We do, however, recommend you talk to your network provider or local cell phone retailer.
Electricity in Greece and the rest of Europe is 220v (as opposed to 110volts in the US). Most laptops are designed to work at both 200v and 100v. If you have an appliance which only works at 110v you should bring a voltage converter with you as they are difficult to find in Greece.
You will also need a universal plug adaptor as Greece’s sockets are designed for 2 round-pronged plugs.
Upon arrival, a knowledgeable and English speaking member of our staff, will be happy to direct you to the best area eateries, as well as bakeries, markets, and anything else that may be of interest to you during you stay.
