Care of the Property

This apartment is privately owned. We expect all guests to enjoy the facilities and treat the apartment with the same respect that they would with their own house.

Lost gate cards will be charged at 20 euros per card. Lost keys will be charged at the cost of replacing locks. Guests also agree to indemnify the owners against any claims by third parties for damage to property within the Moura Praia complex.

The security deposit as notified is required with the final booking instalment. This will be held by us and returned to you within 14 days of the end of your stay subject to any reasonable deductions for any damage caused to the apartment including fixtures and fittings and furniture and effects over and above normal wear and tear. In order to keep our costs down deposits will be returned by online transfer and you will be required to provide your bank details. The security deposit will be returned net of any transaction charges incurred.
