Bellamore FAQ

Booking & Payments

Q: How can I make a reservation at the villa?

Reservations can be made directly through our official channels. To secure your booking, a non-refundable deposit is due within 5 calendar days of reservation:

  • Booking less than 6 months before arrival: a deposit of at least 50% of the total amount
  • Booking more than 6 months before arrival: a deposit of at least 25% of the total amount, with another 25% due 6 months before arrival

The full balance is due 45 days before arrival. Your booking is final once the required deposit has been received.

Q: What is the cancellation policy for reservations?
  • 45 days or more before arrival: payments are non-refundable but converted into a credit valid for 9 months from the cancellation confirmation. The credit can be used by you or anyone on your behalf, for any dates subject to availability, at Villa Bellamore only.
  • Less than 45 days before arrival: all payments are forfeited.
  • Christmas & New Year: any cancellation after the deposit or balance payment forfeits all payments.
  • Unpaid deposits or balance: if a payment is not made by its due date, all payments are forfeited.

A full or partial refund is only possible if the villa is rebooked for some or all of the cancelled dates.

Special cases: if the main international airport in your country of residence is officially closed due to war or armed conflict on your departure day, payments become a credit for a stay within 6 months of your original arrival date. If government-enforced travel restrictions or mandatory quarantines affect at least a third of your group, taking effect between 45 and 7 days before arrival, payments become a credit for a stay within 12 months. Credits are for Villa Bellamore only, follow the rates at the time of rebooking, and any unused value is non-refundable. We strongly recommend travel insurance.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for booking the villa?

The Lessee must be of legal age and have the financial capacity to book the villa. The person making the booking (the Lessee) is fully responsible for the behaviour, safety and well-being of all guests.

All children must be under the direct supervision of an adult at all times, especially near the pool, the gardens and the entrance. Our staff are not able to look after minor children, though babysitting can be arranged in advance at an extra charge, subject to availability.
