Properties are built, maintained and furnished to local standards, which may differ from those of a Clients home country.

accordingly. Where details of amenities, attractions or activities is included in a Property Description these are usually
operated by third parties and availability is outside of the Agents or Owners control and cannot be guaranteed. Please

the chance to partake in the culture of the area chosen, living for a few weeks in the same surroundings as an inhabitant
would. We cannot however exclude the possibility that these differences can sometimes result in minor inconveniences -
due to the special nature of its architecture and of traditions in the area - but which cannot be accepted as complaints.
