Part of the General Conditions of Tourist Rentals
1) GENERAL_INFORMATION
a) In the following General Conditions, which govern the activity of the Coste del Sud Tourist Real Estate Agency, some terms have a specific meaning: – “COSTE DEL SUD” means the Real Estate and Tourist Agency that manages rental bookings . By “VILLEGGIANTE” or “LESSEE” we mean those who make a reservation for one or more published properties. – By “OWNER / I” or “LESSOR / I” we mean the owner / s (or whoever for him) of the property / s to be rented. b) COSTE DEL SUD acts in the name and on behalf of the OWNERS of the properties by virtue of a specific lease assignment, essentially dealing with publishing the properties to be rented on the website www.costedelsud.com and managing the related reservations, without providing any service onerous payable by the HOLIDAYS, let alone reception, check-in and check-out, collection of the balance, or other service inherent to the stay as they are entirely paid by the OWNERS or whoever for them, who will be solely responsible for these obligations . It is therefore specified that COSTE DEL SUD will not issue any invoices to the HOLIDAYS (who may request a receipt for payment, for the rent paid, from the LESSOR pursuant to Article 1199 of the Civil Code following the signing of a rental contract) as it will be obliged to do so only in against the OWNER and only in relation to the commission due to it.
2) CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPERTIES
The properties on the website www.costedelsud.com are essentially private structures used for tourism.

All the properties are furnished and have a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette (dishes, pots, fridge) except in the Bed and Breakfast formula. The supply of household appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, TV, etc.) is indicated in the description of each individual accommodation; bed, bath and kitchen linen are not provided (unless otherwise indicated on the accommodation card). Being private homes, they have different characteristics from each other. Therefore, any specific needs you may have must be clearly specified at the time of booking before defining the contract, in order to be able to provide for specific requests which will be entered in writing on the final confirmation.

Each accommodation has been visited and checked by COSTE DEL SUD. The descriptions given on the web pages are correct and written in good faith.
