A deposit of 25% of the total price is required at the time of booking, and the remaining 75% of the payment must be settled within 30 days before the date of arrival.

Payment is made in full at the time of booking if this occurs less than 30 days before the date of arrival.

5. CANCELLATION BY VENICEAPARTMENT

In the event of it being necessary to offer a different apartment to the one already chosen, or in the case of cancellation of a booking which has been previously confirmed, VA will contact you immediately and will endeavour to find similar accommodation to that requested.  Should this not be possible, or if the alternative offered is not acceptable to you, the contract will be cancelled and all payment made by the client up until that moment will be refunded.  No further payment may be claimed from VA.
Clients are obliged to behave in a civil and respectful manner. In the event that they do not, VA will be entitled to terminate the contract in advance and retain the full amount paid.

Before handover of the keys and being given entry to the apartment, the client is required to pay a deposit (payable by credit card) as security against any damage.  The security deposit will be pre-authorised on your credit card and expires 2/3 weeks after the amount is blocked (the period is determined by the Credit Card provider).  The security deposit will be refunded at the end of the letting period, after inspection of the property by a representative of VA. In the event of the client leaving before the end of the agreed period, we are authorised to retain the security deposit until we have verified that nothing has been damaged.  Only after this will the deposit be refunded.  In case of any wilful or accidental damage or acts of theft by the client in the rental property, the client will be liable for the full amount, in excess of the deposit already paid, of the damage suffered by VA.

The client may be granted entry to the apartment at 3 pm on the day of arrival and should vacate by 10 am on the day of departure. 
When you arrive, a representative of VA will take you to the apartment where you will be given the keys.If you notice that something in the property has been damaged, you are obliged to report this by 12 noon the day following the date of arrival.  If you fail to to this, the company will be authorised to request an indemnity for the damage.If requested, VA can organise transport by taxi from the airport, railway station or from Piazzale Roma to the apartment and vice versa at the end of your stay.
To help organise your arrival, we ask you to inform us by email how you will be arriving in Venice and give the flight number, train time or arrival time by car.  We will then be able to advise you how to reach our office, where you may deposit your luggage, or how to reach the apartment directly.
If you do not arrive during the welcome hours between 9 am-9 pm, you will be required to pay a sum equivalent to €50.00 (a member of our staff will meet you and accompany you to the apartment). The latest time for checking in is 12 pm.  Check in is not possible after this time. The departure time will be agreed upon arrival in the event that a late check out is required.

The maximum number of persons allowed to stay in the apartment is shown in the description of each apartment. Only children from 0-3 years are exempted from this.
