In the event of late payment, we are entitled to charge statutory default interest of currently 5% above the base interest rate.

All transfer charges are to be paid in full by the tenant, i.e. the full invoice amount must be credited to our account free of charge. We accept payments via bank transfer, credit card or PayPal.

Tourism tax is included in the booking price.

A security deposit is required - a pre-authorization of EUR 2,000 is required 1 day before arrival and is released 2 days after departure.

§4 Check-in and check-out

On the day of arrival, the holiday home is available from 4 p.m. Check-in is possible between 16:00 and 21:00. Self-check-in may be required from time to time and especially late at night. Compensation claims cannot be made if, exceptionally, the holiday home cannot be moved into punctually at 4 p.m. On the day of departure, the house must be vacated by 10 a.m. The landlord reserves the right to charge for late departure. The dishes, glasses, etc. must be cleaned and put away on the day of departure.

§5 Holiday home

The holiday home is handed over by the landlord in a tidy and clean condition with complete inventory. Should defects exist or occur during the rental period, the landlord must be informed immediately. The guest is liable for damage caused by him to the rental property, to the inventory, e.g. broken dishes, damage to the floor or to the furniture. This includes the costs of lost keys. The inventory must be handled gently and is only intended for use in the holiday home. Moving furniture, in particular beds, is prohibited. The tenant is also liable for the fault of his fellow travelers. Damages caused by force majeure are excluded from this. The contract can be terminated without notice if the holiday home is used in breach of contract, e.g. due to sub-letting, overcrowding, disturbance of house peace, etc., or if the full rental price is not paid. The rent that has already been paid remains with the landlord. If there is liability insurance, the damage must be reported to the insurance company. The landlord must be notified of the name and address as well as the insurance number.

§6 Pets

The accommodation of pets of any kind in the apartment is only permitted with the prior written consent of the provider. The provider charges a reasonable additional charge for accommodating animals. If animals are accommodated without the provider's prior consent, the provider may charge a cleaning fee of up to EUR 100.00 (net).

§7 Residence

Subletting and re-letting the holiday home to third parties is not permitted. Passing on the rental agreement to third parties is not permitted. The tenant agrees to Villa Celeste's general terms and conditions and house rules. If the terms and conditions or house rules are breached, the landlord is entitled to terminate the rental agreement immediately and without notice. There is no legal claim for repayment of rent or compensation.


§8 Withdrawal from the trip

A cancellation must be made in writing. Please send an email to reservation@villa-celeste.com, specifically including the name of the person who made the booking and the period of stay if you would like to cancel. In case of withdrawal from the rental agreement, the tenant is obliged to pay part of the agreed price as compensation. The amount of the refund of the agreed price depends on the time until the day of arrival and is calculated as follows: 100% of the advance payments made will be refunded if the cancellation is made 30 days before arrival or earlier.
It is recommended to take out travel cancellation insurance.


§9 Withdrawal by the landlord

In the event of withdrawal on our part, as a result of force majeure or other unforeseeable circumstances (e.g. accident or illness of the host) and other circumstances beyond our control that make fulfillment impossible, liability is limited to reimbursement of costs. After the start of the rental period, the landlord may rescind without notice if the tenant disturbs other tenants despite a warning or acts contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the rental agreement is justified.

§10 Liability of the landlord

As part of the due diligence of an ordinary businessman, the landlord is liable for the proper provision of the rental property. Liability for any failures or disruptions in the water or electricity supply as well as events and consequences of force majeure are excluded.

§11 Use of Internet access via WiFi

11.1.Permission to use Internet access via WiFi
The landlord has WiFi Internet access in his holiday home. It allows the tenant to use wireless Internet access for the duration of their stay in the apartment. The landlord does not guarantee the actual availability, suitability or reliability of Internet access for any purpose. He is entitled at any time to allow other joint users to operate the WLAN in whole, in part or temporarily and to restrict or exclude the tenant's access in whole, in part or temporarily if the connection is or has been misused, insofar as the landlord must therefore fear a claim and cannot prevent this within a reasonable period of time with ordinary and reasonable effort. In particular, the landlord reserves the right to block access to certain sites or services via WiFi (e.g. sites that glorify violence, pornographic or paid sites) at any time and at its reasonable discretion.
11.2.Login data
It is used by means of access security. The access data (login and password) may not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances. If the tenant wishes to grant third parties access to the Internet via WiFi, this requires the prior written consent of the landlord and the acceptance of the terms of this user agreement by the third party, documented by signature and full identification. The tenant undertakes to keep his login details secret. The landlord has the right to change the login details at any time.

11.3. Risks of WiFi use, limitation of liability
The tenant is informed that the WLAN only allows access to the Internet, virus protection and firewall are not available. The data traffic generated via WiFi is unencrypted. The data may therefore be viewed by third parties. The landlord expressly points out that when using the WLAN, there is a risk that malware (e.g. viruses, Trojans, worms, etc.) can reach the device. The use of the WLAN is at the tenant's own risk. The landlord assumes no liability for damage to the tenant's digital media caused by the use of Internet access, unless the damage was caused intentionally or grossly negligently by the landlord and/or his vicarious agents.
11.4. Responsibility and exemption from claims
The tenant is responsible for the data transmitted via WiFi, the paid services used and the legal transactions not made. If the tenant visits paid websites or enters into liabilities, the resulting costs will be borne by him. He is obliged to comply with applicable law when using WiFi. In particular, he will: not use the WiFi to access or distribute immoral or illegal content; will not illegally reproduce, distribute or make available any copyrighted goods; this applies in particular in connection with the use of file sharing programs; comply with the applicable youth protection regulations; do not send or distribute harassing, defamatory or threatening content; not use the WiFi to send mass messages (spam) and/or other forms of illegal advertising for the WiFi provided by the tenant to send and/or report a breach of this agreement, this also includes costs and expenses in connection with the claim or defense against it. If the tenant recognizes or must recognize that there is or is imminent such an infringement and/or such an infringement, he shall inform the landlord of the holiday property of this fact.
