By using this website you enter into a contractual relationship with the company Amazing Suite Srl, based in via Giovanni Dominici, 6, 00165 Rome, Italy, the company that owns and manages this website amazingsuiterome.com (the “Website”).
In this document, this company is jointly referred to as “Amazing Suite”, “we”, “us” and “our”.
The following Booking Conditions together with all information contained on this Website and associated documentation form the basis of your contract with us for all property across all destinations. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. Save where otherwise stated, all property bookings are subject to these Booking Conditions. In these Booking Conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them as the context requires. “Holiday” and “arrangements” means your property booking, which you book through us and “arrival” means the date your arrangements commence.
Making your booking
You can initiate a booking by telephoning us direct, sending an enquiry online on/via our website, by email, via an online portal where our properties are advertised, or via your travel agent. We will then register your options on our booking system and send you an e-mail. You will have the chance to confirm your option(s) on your personal page by making the appropriate payment (see clause 2 below) by credit or debit card using our secure payment server, or register your intention to pay by bank transfer.
You can also initiate a booking by using our online booking facility. Online bookings are confirmed immediately during the booking process by credit or debit card using our secure payment server and you will receive an automatic confirmation by email. Please note that any changes or cancellations to online bookings will be subject to these Booking Conditions (please see in particular clauses 6 and 7). For online bookings it is your responsibility to ensure that you have carefully read the property and local area description, and that you have selected the most appropriate property for your requirements. If you, or any of your group, have any specific requirements or requests you must contact us before confirming your booking.
For all bookings, the party leader must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking, and must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons in the party. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. All communications will be sent to the party leader.
Once we have received all appropriate payments (see clause 2 below), we will confirm your holiday. Please check this confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on this or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within ten days of our sending it out.
Prior to arrival it is essential that you provide us with the details of all persons in your party. This can either be done by email to us.
The use of the property, its grounds and amenities is strictly reserved for those people named on the apartments or rooms booking. Inviting other people (friends or external suppliers) into the property during your stay, even if they are not sleeping at the property, is only possible with our prior written consent.
The cost of your holiday
Prices on our website are quoted in euros. You may confirm your booking in euros. The price you pay will be the price we agree with you when you book and subsequently confirm reservation. This price will be calculated using the exchange rate indicated on our website at that time and will be set when the booking is confirmed. All payments (deposit and balance) must be paid in the same currency as that confirmed at the time of booking.
The maximum occupancy of all of our properties (which includes adults and children) is clearly stated on the webpage for each property. Some properties might have prices for reduced occupancy depending on the time that you wish to travel. The price that you pay will be calculated based on your group size and travel dates at the time of confirmation. The maximum possible size of your group and the numbers of bedrooms at your disposal will be clearly stated on your confirmation invoice. Should you wish to increase the size of your party and/or add additional bedrooms please contact us. If the property can accommodate more people and/or has additional bedrooms then it may be possible to add these upon payment of a supplement where applicable. Please refer to clause 6 for further information. We reserve the right to increase or decrease prices at any time before confirmation of your booking.
Once the price of your chosen property (based on your group composition) and any other services has been confirmed at the time of booking, it is guaranteed and will not be increased (unless an obvious mistake was made by us at the time of booking which we correct as soon as we become aware of it – in this very unusual situation, you will be given the choice of cancelling the booking and receiving a full refund of all money you have paid or paying the correct price). If you would like to add people to your booking, this would count as a change to your booking; in this case, please refer to clause 6.
Payment
In order to confirm your chosen property(ies), a deposit must be paid at the time of booking. Unless stated otherwise, we require a credit card as guarantee for the total cost of the booking (or full payment if booking within 30 days before arrival).
We accept the following methods of payment: Credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express; Debit cards: Maestro, MasterCard Debit, Visa Electron, Visa Debit. There is no additional charge levied for Credit and Debit cards. We also accept payments by bank transfer for which you will be liable for any charges incurred or Paypal transfer.
If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you. In this case the cancellation charges set out in clause 7 below will be payable. The currency of the invoice, and the full fixed price of the booking in your chosen currency is set when the booking is confirmed. The deposit and balance payments must both be paid in the same currency.
Your contract
A binding contract between you and us comes into existence as soon as any payment is received.
We both agree that Italian law (and no other) will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (“claim”) except as set out below. We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving any personal injury) must be dealt with by the Italian courts.
Insurance
We recommend that you and all members of your party take out adequate travel insurance prior to booking with us. What is adequate will depend on your particular needs but we generally recommend that as a minimum such a policy should include cover for medical expenses, personal accident, repatriation in the event emergency, illness or accident, loss, theft, or damage to/of personal possessions or money, cancellation (including any cancellation charges), and your liability for any sums (including legal costs) which you may become liable to pay in case of loss or damage to your booked property or its contents during your stay.
Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. We do not check insurance policies and it is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs.
Changes by you
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. Whilst we will endeavour to assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. For every change, we reserve the right to charge you €30 plus any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. If you wish to increase your party size above the maximum occupancy of your booking, this will only be possible if the property you have chosen can accommodate the additional person(s). Where this is possible, a supplement will be due. This will either be in addition to the rental cost for the full property as agreed with the owner or a payment to increase your occupancy of the property where the original booking was based on a reduced occupancy rate.
If you wish to transfer your booking to someone else, the transfer must be to a person or persons who agree to our Booking Conditions and who meet any requirements of the property in question. If in our reasonable opinion, the property is not suitable for the person or persons to whom you wish to transfer the booking, we reserve the right to refuse to make the transfer. If these transfer conditions are not met, your booking will be treated as cancelled by you and you will have to pay our cancellation charges as shown in clause 7. If you want to change the date of your booking, this will be treated as a cancellation of your original booking and a new booking will be created where the change can be made. Cancellation charges will apply to the first booking.
Cancellation by you
Should you need to cancel your booking after confirmation, the party leader must immediately advise us in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is acknowledged in writing by us (which we will do as soon as possible). Cancellations must be notified by or email or through the portal, in case you used a portal to make your booking. The cancellation charges are equal to the sum you already paid for your booking, except for any extra services or for the security deposit. In other words, any payments already made to us are non-refundable.
Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned and we can supply a cancellation invoice upon request.
Changes and cancellation by us
Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors on the website both before and after bookings have been confirmed. Rarely, we may also need to cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so.
Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”.
The following changes are likely to be significant; a change of property to one of a lower standard or involving a major change of location (e.g. the other side of the island/region), the withdrawal or non availability of a major facility at the property such as the swimming pool. Any change which is not significant will be treated as a minor change.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:
(a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements or
(b) booking an alternative property of a similar standard to that originally booked if available (subject to the rest of this clause, if the chosen alternative is less expensive than your original one, we will refund the difference but if it is more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference) or
(c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.
Please note, the above options are not available where any change made is a minor one.
We will not pay any compensation for cancellation.
Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" (see below) to change or terminate your contracted arrangements. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense as a result of "force majeure". In these Booking Conditions, "force majeure" means any event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events are likely to include (whether actual or threatened) war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, volcanic eruptions, fire, flood, epidemic, closure, restriction or congestion of airports or airspace and all similar events or circumstances outside our control or the control of the supplier concerned.
Our Liability
(1) We promise to use reasonable skill and care in making your booking and selecting the properties, property owners and any other suppliers we work with. We have no responsibility for the properties themselves or for any services provided by or on behalf of property owners or other suppliers or for the acts or omissions of any property owner or other supplier or any of their employees, agents, suppliers or subcontractors. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used by us in our selection of the relevant property(ies), property owner(s) or other suppliers if you wish to make a claim against us.
Please also note; sub clauses 10(2)-(6) below are subject to sub clause 10(1) above.
(2) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment or possessions), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any nature whatsoever which does not result from failure on our part to use reasonable skill and care in selecting the properties, property owners and any other suppliers we work with as referred to above. By way of example and not by way of limitation, we will not be responsible any claim which results from any of the following: -
(a) the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
(b) the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of the contracted services which we could not have predicted or avoided or
(c) force majeure (see clause 8)
(d) the fault of anyone who is not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time.
(3) We cannot accept responsibility for any services which we have not specifically contracted to provide. This includes, for example, any services or facilities which any property owner or other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us as forming part of your arrangements and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out in clause 10(1) and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
(4) We limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claim or parts of a claim which do not involve personal injury, illness or death. Except where loss of and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions is concerned or a lower limitation of liability applies to your claim under clause 10(5), the maximum amount we will have to pay you for any such non personal injury claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is twice the price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from the contracted services.
Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have to pay you is €50 per person affected as you are assumed to have taken out adequate insurance at the time of booking.
(5) We cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description which (1) on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (2) did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any claims, expenses or losses which relate to any business (including without limitation, self employed loss of earnings).
Complaints and problems
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform our representative (if available) and the property owner or manager / supplier of the service(s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and sent by SMS or email to our representative and the property owner or manager / supplier as soon as possible. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. It is not reasonable to take no action during your holiday but write a letter of complaint on your return. If you remain dissatisfied after alerting us to any problem during your stay, however, you must write to us within 28 days of your return home giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. We regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause. If you fail to follow the above mentioned procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and resolve any complaint while you are on holiday, and this will affect the way in which we deal with the complaint and it may affect your rights under your contract.
Behaviour and Damages
We will ask you to pay a security deposit before your arrival, also with a credit card as garantee; unless agreed otherwise, it is due with the last payment 30 days before your arrival. The amount of the security deposit is variable depending on the property and is clearly stated on our Website. The security deposit will be refunded within 7 days after your departure, unless we have found damages to the property.
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known), unless covered by the security deposit, must be paid direct at the time to the property owner or manager or other supplier. If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. Where damage is not identified until after your departure, we reserve the right to take the money from your security deposit or subsequently request full payment for this. If you fail to make payment when required, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs).
We expect all clients to abide by the property’s House Rules, have consideration for other people and to behave in a manner which is polite and respectful. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority (for example a property owner or manager, or a member of our staff), you behave in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. This includes threatening and inappropriate behaviour, whether verbal or physical, the use of offensive language, and any action which we believe pose a risk to our staff, property owners / managers, other guests, or anyone connected with your holiday. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the property and cease use of any other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s). No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
We and the owner/manager of the property concerned reserve the right to terminate your stay without notice if we or the owner/manager discover that the number of persons (adults and children) staying at the property exceeds the number stated on your confirmation invoice and you have not obtained our prior written permission for this and paid any extra associated costs. In this situation, no refunds will be made and we will have no further responsibility to you.
Commercial and/or editorial filming/photography is not permitted at our properties unless prior written permission has been granted. In certain cases, specific conditions may apply.
Unless stated otherwise, our properties are non-smoking properties. It is forbidden to smoke inside the buildings; you are allowed to smoke outside, if this doesn’t cause harm or distress to any third party.
We do not accept parties (including hen/stag parties) in our properties.
13. Safety standards
It is the laws and applicable standards of the country in which the property is located which apply to your holiday arrangements and not those of any other country. As a general rule, these laws and standards will not be the same as those of your home country and may sometimes be lower.
14. Health and Safety
Many of our properties also have balconies and/or terraces many of which are accessed up steep, narrow or uneven staircases and may feature drops and other risks. These may not be suitable for people with limited mobility. Please take extra care when using these and ensure that children are never left un-supervised and must not be allowed to climb on any railings or walls. We and the property owner have no liability for any death or personal injury arising from use of or connected with the terrace(s) except to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded by law. Please also see clause 10 of our Booking Conditions. We and the property owner have no liability for any death or personal injury which results from failure to comply with the above requirements.
15. Special requests, medical conditions, disabilities and reduced mobility
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking and clearly note it on our website. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant property owner or manager / other supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request unless it has been specifically confirmed in writing. Failure to meet any special request will not otherwise be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the property owner / manager / other supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing that a special request will be complied with (where it is possible to give this) where it is important to you. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.
If you, or any of your party, have any medical condition, disability or reduced mobility which may affect any aspect of your holiday arrangements (or the booking process), you must inform us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise you as to the suitability of your chosen property and otherwise assist with the booking process. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking or, if the condition, disability or reduced mobility only develops or deteriorates after you have booked, as soon as you become aware of it.
We are not medical experts. Should you require medical attention during your holiday, local medical services can be contacted for emergency treatment. The acceptance and cost of such treatment are your sole responsibility. Please be aware that medical practitioners may only be conversant in their mother tongue. Our local staff will be on hand to offer assistance and translation, if required, but we are not liable for any aspect of medical treatment provided to you while on holiday.
Passports, visas and health requirements
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation.
Website accuracy
Please note, the information and prices shown on our Website may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information and prices at the time of printing or publication, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking.
For online bookings it is your responsibility to ensure that you have carefully read the property and local area description, and that you have selected the most appropriate property for your requirements.
Please note, the photographs on our Website are intended to give a general overall impression of the standard of the properties we feature. Some aspects of the property may have changed by the time you come to make your booking, for example, items of furniture may have been removed by the owner or the layout of gardens may have been changed. We cannot accept any liability if this situation should arise.
(The above version of these Terms&Conditions is valid for all bookings done on or after 1 June 2021.)
