We will do our best to accommodate amendments especially when they are given with more than 14 days notice. Amendments less than 14 days from check-in may, at the discretion of the owners, be treated as cancellation and re-booking, and will be charged accordingly.
Damages and Keys Deposit
A 100€ cash deposit is required for each apartment, payable on check-in. Prior to check-out The Owners will inspect each apartment for damages or loss. On departure the deposit is returned following a satisfactory inspection. Otherwise the deposit will be retained (or part of) to cover the cost of any replacement or repairs required.
Lost keys will be charged at 100€ per set. Any sets of keys supplied to guests on check-in must returned on check-out.
In the event that an apartment is vacated in an unreasonably dirty or foul state, or where items have been removed, damaged or broken, The Owners reserve the right to take reasonable steps to recover the costs of cleaning, repair and replacement from The Guest. Reasonable wear and tear is excepted.
Eligibility
Adult only accommodation for standard bookings.
Bookings will not be accepted when the person making the booking is under 18 years of age.
Casa de Olivos is not a venue for stag or hen parties or similar, and The Owners reserve the right to refuse entry to guests who appear to intend to use the premises for such a purpose.

Special Needs and Requirements
If you or any members of your group have a disability or have a specific need, please contact The Owners in writing before making your booking and we will advise as to the suitability or otherwise of the accommodations. Where we can reasonably do so, we will endeavour to make arrangements that fit your needs.
We have made every effort to make Casa de Olivos accessible to all, however the site is sloping and has a gravel driveway.
If, acting reasonably, we feel unable to confirm the chosen accommodation fits the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm the booking, and any deposit monies will be refunded.
The Owners are unable to take any responsibility for the lack of suitable facilities without knowing your requirements in advance.

Governing Law
The contract is governed by Spanish law.
Faults or Breakages
We endeavour to prepare and maintain the accommodation and communal areas to a high standard. However, if a problem does arise please advise us immediately. Every effort will be made to assist you.
If something breaks or becomes faulty during the holiday please advise the owners immediately - this will give us time to remedy the problem for the current guests and before the next guests arrive.
Complaints
The Owners strive to offer every Guest a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Should you have a problem on your holiday, it is a condition of booking with us that you must report it to The Owners at the earliest opportunity. Any verbal notification must be confirmed in writing as soon as possible. The accommodations are provided with Complaint Forms.
The Owners must be given the opportunity to resolve any issues brought to our attention and allowances be made by you for any local conditions regarding the reasonable amount of time taken to rectify the problem. It is not acceptable to make a serious complaint after you have left the property when The Owners were not clearly made aware of the severity of your concerns. It is therefore extremely important that if you have a complaint that is seriously affecting your holiday enjoyment, you must make The Owners aware of your concerns as soon as possible.
If The Owners are denied the opportunity of investigating the complaint within a reasonable time or denied the opportunity to put matters right during the holiday, then this may reduce or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us.
