These terms govern the reservation and stay at Villa Amarande. By sending an inquiry or making a reservation, you confirm that you have read and accepted these terms.

Scope and parties

These terms apply between the guest ("you") and Velimir Čović as the provider of accommodation services at Ljuti Dolac b.b. 88223, Široki Brijeg, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Reservation

A reservation is confirmed once we receive the deposit and send you a written confirmation. The minimum stay is 3 nights. Specific periods (Christmas, New Year, July–August) may require a longer minimum stay.

The villa sleeps 10 guests, up to a maximum of 12 by prior arrangement. Larger groups require a custom offer.

Payment and deposit

· Payment: you can choose to pay in full at booking, or a 25 % deposit at booking + 75 % on the day of arrival. The deposit is non-refundable.<br/>· Security deposit: €500 pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in, released after departure if no damages.

Payment is made via a secure Stripe link or bank transfer. Prices are quoted in euros (€). Tourist tax is charged separately according to local regulations.

Cancellation

Full refund (less the deposit) up to 14 days before arrival. No refund within 14 days of arrival.

If the villa cancels for reasons other than force majeure, we refund the full amount including the deposit.

Early check-in and late check-out are possible by prior arrangement, subject to availability. On arrival you will present a valid ID or passport, in line with BiH guest registration rules.

Damage and guest liability

The guest is responsible for damages caused by their behaviour or by people they bring to the villa. Minor incidents are covered by the security deposit. Larger damages are invoiced separately.

We kindly ask guests to report any incident or malfunction immediately — everything is handled reasonably and in good faith.

Pets

Pets are welcome with prior notice. Owners are responsible for their pet's behaviour and clean-up. Pets may not be left unattended in the villa or enter the bedrooms.

Villa liability

Villa Amarande will make reasonable efforts to provide the service described on the website. We are not liable for:

· Guests failing to arrive due to flight delays, their own transport, or border controls;<br/>· Damage to guest belongings not caused by the villa's gross negligence;<br/>· Temporary interruptions of electricity, water, or internet caused by external factors.

We recommend that guests hold travel insurance covering cancellation and personal belongings.

Force majeure

In the event of force majeure (natural disasters, war, pandemics, government travel restrictions) that prevents the stay, we will offer rebooking within 12 months or a refund less unavoidable costs already incurred (e.g., payment processor fees).

Privacy

Your personal data is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy — by sending an inquiry or making a reservation you confirm that you have read it.

Changes to the terms

We reserve the right to amend these terms. Your reservation is governed by the terms in force at the moment of confirmation.
