Booking Conditions

Last updated: June 2026

Our studios are part of our private family property, where we live on site. These booking conditions are intended to keep the process clear, protect the property, and ensure a calm, pleasant stay for respectful guests.

Payment

Payment is by SEPA bank transfer only. No card payments, PayPal, cash or cheque are accepted. Bank details are provided in the booking contract.

Any bank fees or transfer charges are the responsibility of the guest. The full invoice amount and the full refundable security deposit must be received by the hosts.

Refundable Security Deposit

A refundable security deposit of €250 is required by separate SEPA bank transfer. The total invoice payment and the refundable security deposit must both be initiated within 24 hours of receiving the booking contract.

The security deposit is not part of the rental price. It is returned within 7 calendar days of check-out, provided the studio is left in good condition, with no damage, missing items, excessive cleaning requirements, unpaid charges, or documented costs resulting from non-compliance with the house rules.

A condition check and inventory may be carried out at check-in and check-out. Guests are expected to report any pre-existing damage, missing items, or abnormal condition immediately after arrival.

Any deduction from the security deposit will be reasonable, limited to actual costs, and supported by relevant documentation such as photos, invoices, receipts, replacement costs, or cleaning records. The security deposit does not constitute a limit of liability. Costs exceeding the deposit amount may be invoiced separately with supporting documentation.

Guest Information / Fiche de Police

Personal data is used only for booking administration, legal obligations, invoicing, security, and communication relating to the stay. Non-French guests are required by French law to complete and sign a fiche individuelle de police on arrival. This document is kept for 6 months and transmitted only to the competent authorities if legally requested.

Minimum Lead Time

Bookings must be made a minimum of 14 days before the arrival date.

Booking Process

Submitting an enquiry does not reserve or hold your requested dates. Dates are held exclusively for you only once we have received your booking contract signed in full, including complete personal details for all guests. Incomplete or partially filled contracts cannot confirm or hold the requested dates.

Once we confirm availability, a booking contract will be sent by email. The signed contract must be returned within 24 hours — after this window, the requested dates are released automatically. Upon receipt of the signed contract, two separate SEPA transfers must be initiated: the total invoice amount and the €250 refundable security deposit.

The booking is confirmed only after we have received the signed booking contract and the corresponding cleared funds for both the total invoice amount and the refundable security deposit. Both payments must be received within 3 calendar days of our receipt of the signed contract; otherwise, the requested dates are automatically released.

Cancellation / Early Departure Policy

All cancellations must be submitted in writing by email. Verbal or phone cancellations are not accepted.

More than 14 days before arrival: 100% refund.
7–14 days before arrival: 50% refund.
Less than 7 days before arrival: no refund.

Any early departure or reduction of stay after check-in for personal reasons does not give rise to a refund, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Guests are strongly advised to take out personal travel insurance covering late cancellations, early departures, and interruptions of stay.

If the hosts are unable to provide the accommodation for reasons attributable to them, all sums paid for the stay will be refunded. This does not affect any rights the guest may have under applicable law.

Occupancy

As stated in the booking contract, full personal details for all guests must be provided at the time of booking. No guest may be added, replaced, or changed after the contract has been signed without prior written agreement from the hosts.

Access to the accommodation is limited to the guests named in the booking contract. Persons not declared and accepted before arrival cannot be admitted to the property.

To complete the booking and check-in process, the booking contract, required guest information, full payment, refundable security deposit, and legal arrival formalities must be completed before access to the accommodation can be given.

Studio 2 — Third Guest

Studio 2 accommodates a maximum of 3 guests. A supplement of €40 per night applies for a third guest.

House Rules

The studios are located on a quiet, private residential property. The hosts live on site, and the property is best suited to guests looking for a calm, respectful place to stay.

Access is limited to registered guests only. Visitors, unregistered overnight guests, parties, and gatherings of any kind are not permitted.

The property access code is strictly personal and must not be shared with any third party for any reason, including food delivery or other services.

Guests are responsible for damage caused by themselves, members of their party, or any person to whom they have allowed access to the property.

The garden and all outdoor areas are private family spaces and are not accessible to guests.

Quiet hours are from 21:00 to 08:00. During this time, guests are asked to avoid noise that could disturb the hosts, neighbours, or other guests.

CCTV is in operation 24/7 in exterior private access areas of the property only, for security and access-control purposes. There are no cameras inside the studios or in private interior guest areas. Cameras do not intentionally film public roads or neighbouring properties.

Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited inside the studio and throughout the property. A designated smoking area is available at the front of the house. Non-compliance with the no-smoking rule results in an additional cleaning fee of €150.

Studio 2 is equipped with skylight windows that may be opened for ventilation. To prevent water ingress in the event of sudden changes in weather conditions, guests are asked to ensure that all windows and the entrance door are properly closed and locked when leaving the studio and during the night. Guests are responsible for damage resulting from windows or doors being left open or unlocked.

Guests of Studio 1 are equally required to ensure that all windows and the entrance door are fully closed and locked when leaving the studio, both to prevent weather-related damage and to maintain valid insurance coverage for the property.

No pets.

The refundable security deposit may be retained in full or in part under the conditions described above in the “Refundable Security Deposit” section.

Facilities

Neither studio has a dishwasher, washing machine or dryer. A full-service dry cleaner is located directly across the street, and a laundromat is available within walking distance.

Check-in / Check-out

Check-in is personal and by prior arrangement only. Self check-in is not available. Guests must agree their arrival time with the hosts in advance and arrive within the stated check-in window.

Studio 1: Check-in 14:00–21:00 · Check-out by 10:00 · Minimum stay 2 nights.
Studio 2: Check-in 16:00–21:00 · Check-out by 11:00 · Minimum stay 3 nights.
