Booking terms

Terms of Service

These terms apply to every stay at Damari Luxury Villas in Kechria, Skiathos. By making a booking you agree to them on behalf of everyone in your party. The short version: book direct with a deposit of roughly 30%, cancel free up to 30 days before arrival, and after that the deposit is yours to lose.

01

Who we are

Damari Luxury Villas ("Damari", "we", "us") operates two independent villas, Villa Moondancer and Villa Whispering Pines, in Kechria, Skiathos, Greece. You can reach us at damariskiathos@gmail.com or +30 698 0560 280.

These terms cover bookings made directly with us through this website, by email or by phone. If you book through a third party platform such as Booking.com, that platform's terms apply to payment and cancellation, and the house rules below still apply to your stay.

02

Bookings and confirmation

A booking request is not a reservation until we have confirmed availability in writing and received your deposit. Once the deposit clears, we send a written confirmation and the dates are held for you.

The person making the booking (the "lead guest") must be at least 18 years old, is responsible for the whole party, and is the person we deal with for payment and any issues during the stay. Each villa sleeps a maximum of 6 guests. The number of guests must not exceed the number stated on your confirmation without our written agreement.

03

Deposit, balance and payment

To secure a direct booking we ask for a deposit of roughly 30% of the total booking price. The exact amount is quoted at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due on the date shown on your confirmation and, at the latest, before check-in. Payment is made securely through our website payment system or by bank transfer, as stated in your confirmation.

If the balance is not paid by the due date we may treat the booking as cancelled by you, in which case the deposit is retained as set out in section 04.

Prices are quoted in euros and include the villa, use of the private pool, linen and towels, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking and a personal welcome at check-in. Extras such as transfers, car hire and concierge services are charged separately and only if you ask for them.

04

Cancellation and no shows

Direct bookings: free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival

If you cancel a direct booking 30 days or more before your arrival date, we refund your deposit in full. Tell us in writing by email and we will confirm the cancellation and the refund.

If you cancel less than 30 days before arrival, or you do not arrive (a "no show"), the deposit is not refunded and the full booking amount becomes payable by the person who made the booking. This also applies if you leave early or shorten your stay once it has started.

The 30 day period is counted in calendar days from the check-in date on your confirmation. A cancellation is only effective once we have acknowledged it in writing, so please make sure you receive our reply.

We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation, as we cannot make exceptions for illness, travel disruption, weather or changes in personal circumstances.

Bookings made through Booking.com or another platform follow the cancellation terms shown on that platform at the time of booking.

05

Changes to your booking

If you want to change your dates, ask us in writing. We will do what we can to help, subject to availability and any difference in price. A date change requested less than 30 days before arrival is treated as a cancellation and a new booking, so the terms in section 04 apply.

In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your booking for reasons within our control, we refund everything you have paid us. Our liability is limited to that refund.

06

Check-in, check-out and identification

  • Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:30. Please tell us your expected arrival time in advance.
  • Check-out is from 08:00 to 10:00. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible on request.
  • Greek law requires us to record the identity of every guest. The lead guest must show a valid photo ID and a credit card at check-in.

07

Your stay and house rules

We ask every guest to treat the villas as they would their own home. In particular:

  • No parties or events. The villas are in a quiet residential area and noise should be kept down after 23:00.
  • Smoking is not permitted inside the villas. Terraces are fine.
  • Pets are welcome by prior arrangement. Please tell us when you book.
  • The pool is unfenced and has no lifeguard. Children must be supervised at all times, and no one should use the pool after drinking alcohol or after dark without adequate lighting.
  • Only guests named on the booking may stay overnight.
  • Please report any breakages or faults to us straight away so we can fix them.

We may end a stay without refund if these rules are seriously or repeatedly broken, or if a guest's behaviour puts the property, neighbours or other people at risk.

08

Damage

You are responsible for any damage to the villa, its contents or the grounds caused by anyone in your party during your stay, beyond normal wear and tear. In line with our damage policy you may be charged up to €300 after check-out for such damage, or the actual cost of repair or replacement if it is higher and we provide receipts.

09

Liability

We take care to keep the villas safe and well maintained, but you stay at your own risk. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss, theft or damage to your belongings or vehicles, or for injury or illness, except where caused by our negligence. We are not responsible for events outside our reasonable control such as strikes, extreme weather, utility failures, transport disruption or government restrictions.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under Greek law.

10

Privacy

We handle your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

11

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Greece. Any dispute that we cannot settle amicably is subject to the courts of Greece. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, the rest still applies.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force when you make your booking is the one that applies to that booking.
