Dimora Veneziana

1. RESERVATION

The acceptance of the reservation is subject to:
- the availability of the apartment at the moment the written request is received;
- the payment of a deposit, as a down payment;
- the authorisation for eventual debits of other amounts foreseen in Point 3 in the case of cancellation.  The reservation is accepted only when Dimora Veneziana sends a written communication (by fax or e-mail).

2. RESERVATION CONFIRMATION

When the written confirmation that the apartment is available is received, and in respect of the terms contained therein, the client will pay an amount equal to 30% of the total price of the reserved holiday sending a fax to 041–2414871 that authorises the debit of the established percentage on a credit card (for which you will already have sent the number and expiry date), including details of the name of the apartment and the period of stay.

Alternatively a bank transfer can be sent to VisitsItaly Travel Inc.

The balance must be paid within 6 days of the check–in date and no later.
The price of the holiday for the required period is that shown by Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. in the written reservation confirmation.

Apart from the apartment which is completely furnished and equipped, the price includes the following services: reception during office hours (from 15:00 to 19:00), initial and final cleaning, linen and relative weekly change, utilities such as electricity and gas (excluding the use of telephone, fax and similar which will be paid for separately on check-out).

The price does not include transfer from and to the station, airport or other terminal.

All of the prices shown are in Euros.

3. CANCELLATION BY THE CLIENT

The cancellation by the client, with a warning of 21 days prior to the beginning of the stay, implies the loss of the deposit which will remain the property of Dimora Veneziana. If the cancellation is made with less warning, these further payments will be made:

  • From 20 to 14 days: 50% of the agreed price.

  • From 13 to 7 days: 75%

  • From 6 days until the day prior to arrival: 90%

  • Non-arrival: 90%

Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. is authorised to debit the amount on the Credit Card indicated by the client upon reservation for these payments.

The client will not have the right to any reimbursement if he voluntarily interrupts the holiday and leaves before the established departure date.

4. CANCELLATION BY DIMORA VENEZIANA S.R.L.

In the event that the apartment is not available for justified reasons, Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. reserves the right to offer an adequate alternative solution to the original reservation.

If the client should not wish to accept the alternative that is offered, every obligation will be terminated and the client will receive all amounts that he has paid: nothing else will be requested by Dimora Veneziana S.r.l.

5. DEPOSIT

By signing the contract, and prior to the delivery of the apartment, the client authorises Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. to debit an amount equal to Euro 500.00 from their credit card as a cautionary deposit against any eventual damage that the client may cause and also for those expenses not foreseen in the contract. If any damage is caused, the amount relative to that damage will be debited from the credit card up to the amount of the deposit, not excluding the obligation of the client to repay any other amounts regarding damage following a simple request by Dimora Veneziana S.r.l.

6. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES

Four days before your arrival (weekdays – from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 to 18:00) the client will telephone Dimora Veneziana S.r.l.(on 041 – 2411697 or 335 – 246115) or send us a mail (on info@dimoraveneziana.com), to inform the office of their planned arrival time in Venice and to obtain the final details about their welcome at the apartment.

If the client does not make the information known at the required time, the agency will not be responsible for any eventual delays or failure to collect you, in as much as the apartments do not have a reception (like hotels do) and the welcome must therefore be organised.

The apartment is delivered between 15:00 and 19:00 on the arrival date and must be left before 10:00 on the departure date. Arrival and departure can be organised for different times, according to the availability of Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. staff and with the following additional costs:

  • For arrival between 20:00 and 22:00 € 30.00

  • For arrival between 22:00 and 1:00 € 40.00

  • For arrival between 1:00 and 07:00 € 70.00

At the agreed time an employee of Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. will wait for the guest at the public transport station that is closest to the apartment, to hand over the keys and also to supply useful information about the apartment itself.
All late arrivals, after 30 minutes from the scheduled arrival time, shall be counted as a new check-in at the price of euro 30.00 which shall be paid directly by the client to Dimora Veneziana S.r.l.

Should the delay be prolonged until after 8 p.m., it shall be considered a “second check in” and the same rates shall be due according to the different arrival hours indicated above.

In order to make the arrival easier the guest is asked to supply details of their transport (by fax or e-mail), as well as flight number, train details or planned arrival time in their car. This way the staff at Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. will be able to advise you of the best way to get to the apartment or the reception office.

7. CHECK OUT

During the stay the guest will agree with Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. about the actual return of the apartment which, you are reminded, will occur before 10:00 on the morning of the departure date, so that an employee of Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. can carry out all the formalities such as: checking utilities and the general state of the apartment, discussion about damage to the structure and other, and delivery of the keys and contract. Any eventual delay by the client beyond the maximum allowed time of 10:00 gives Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. the right to debit Euro 100.00.

8. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE

The description of each apartment includes the number of people who are allowed to stay there.

9. ANIMALS

Animals are allowed after a written request (by fax or e-mail), which will have to be sent before reservation and the subsequent confirmation of the stay.

10. CLEANING

Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. will deliver the apartment clean, well-equipped with linen and all that you need for a brief stay.

11. RULES FOR CLIENTS

All the rules of the building must be obeyed. From 13:00 until 15:00 and from 23:00 until 08:00 the guests in the apartment must not make any noise that could disturb other residents.

In the event that the client should not respect the rules of the building or those established by Dimora Veneziana S.r.l., the latter reserves the right of expelling them from the apartment without any reimbursement.

In the event that the guest requires the presence of our staff during their stay for a reason that Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. may consider unimportant, they will be debited €40.00 every time.

In the event that the keys be lost, broken or damaged or that a locksmith is needed to open the door, Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. will be authorised to debit the amount of €70.00 which includes the replacement of the lock (where there are no other costs borne).

In the event that the guest forgets the keys inside the apartment and the services of the Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. staff be required to open the door, the amount that will be debited is €40.00.

The lodgings are delivered clean and in perfect order; however even though final cleaning is included in the price this does not include the cleaning of the cooking area and the client is therefore required to cater for this on their own. If this should not happen, Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. will debit an extra €40.00.

If there should be any problems during the stay, the client is asked to communicate this to the management of Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. as soon as possible, in order to provide a speedy solution to the problem: any eventual claims that are made after departure will not lead to reimbursement by Dimora Veneziana S.r.l., for whatever cause or reason.

12. LAW AND JURISDICTION

The contract signed between the client and Dimora Veneziana S.r.l. is regulated by Italian Law and exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the Italian Courts.

13. ARBITRATION CLAUSE

Any dispute that may arise between the parties regarding the validity, efficiency, interpretation or execution of this contract and subsequent agreements, and in any case linked to it, will be decided by administrative arbitration in the Venice Real-Estate and General Arbitration Chamber c/o The Venice Chamber of Commerce, of which the parties declare to know and accept the rules.
