F.A.Q

  • OUR PRODUCTS
    Q: What type of properties do you offer ?

    Q: How can I be sure that the villas you offer really exist ? 

    A: You can be sure that the villas we offer exist because we have personally visited and checked them. This control follows a Sunonseas quality standard. Once validated by us, we then issue a mandate with the owner to be able to offer them to our customers and our network of partners.
    Q: Do you regularly check the properties on offer ? 

    A: Yes, to ensure that the properties maintain the same quality of service during the season and from one season to another. It also assures you that when you arrive on site, the villa will correspond to what has been presented to you on our website.
    Q: Do you offer villas that are accessible to disabled people ? 

    A: Absolutely. You will be able to find these villas on our website thanks to a dedicated icon.
    Q: Are the villas equipped for children ? 

    A: Yes, they are. The villas have as basic equipment a baby bed and a high chair. Some villas also have board games, PlayStation, outdoor play area. We invite you to look at the villa description and facilities on our website. Everything will be noted there.
    Q: Are pets allowed in the villas ? 

    A: Yes, depending on the acceptance of the owners. Animals will then be allowed in the villa. They will be allowed to enjoy the exteriors and interiors but will not be allowed on the sofas and in the bedrooms to avoid allergic reactions in some guests.
    Q: What are the health standards in the villas you offer ? 

    A: The villas all have a cleaning service during your stay. In addition, a final cleaning is done at the end of your stay. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness and the tourism organisations have worked on a charter and strict sanitary standards with new measures and procedures that will be notified to you upon arrival.
    Q: I have a little trouble understanding the terms used on your site, terms dedicated to rentals. Can you explain them to me ?

    A: The main terms used are very general in the field of tourism. You will therefore find them regularly during your various stays.

    Option: this allows you, when the property is available, to keep the dates for you, for 48 hours, the time of your decision and finalize your reservation, without these dates being bookable by a third party. This option is of course without obligation of reservation. You can cancel the option at any time and release the dates, or the option will cancel by itself at the end of the expiry date.

    Check-In: Date of arrival and entry into the premises

    Check-Out: Date of leaving the premises

    Booking: this is the name given to a reservation once it has been confirmed by us and paid for by the customer.

    Voucher: a travel document that will be sent to you before your departure and which contains the terms and conditions of the rental.

    House Rules: these are the house rules which are specified in a document which will be given to you on arrival or available directly on site.

    Q: : I wish to leave on a destination not proposed on your site. Is this possible ? 

    A: Yes, it is possible. We have a large choice of villas in other destinations through our network of partners. They have also been checked and are of the same standard as those proposed on our website. Do not hesitate to contact us, either by phone or via our contact form in the Contact > Contact us tab of our website.

  • OUR SERVICES / OUR PRICES
    Q: What is the rate charged by your agency when making a reservation ?  

    A: The price charged for a reservation corresponds to the rental price plus booking fees and cancellation insurance (optional).
    Q: I see several rates on the description of the villas. What do they correspond to ? 

     A: For a better reading, we have divided the season into several periods: Low Season, Middle Season, High Season and even Very High Season. These periods are on specific dates defined for each villa. We therefore invite you to look at the date on which you wish to leave and refer to the tariff line in question. Prices are per night.
    Q: Are the prices displayed final ? Are there any discounts ? 

     A: Prices are determined at the beginning of the season for the coming season. On certain occasions, the owners may apply discounts which will be reflected on our website. The price displayed is therefore the one valid for any reservation.
    Q: Are there any preferential rates (student rate, senior rate...) ? 

    A: There are no special rates for students or seniors. We have a 'best price for all' policy. We have therefore made sure that the prices displayed are in line with the market price and that they correspond to the service and quality of the villa on offer.
    Q: Do you accept holiday vouchers ? 

    A: For now, we do not accept holiday vouchers.
    Q: Do you make flight bookings ? 

    A: We can provide you with information on the price of air tickets to our various destinations and the airlines that fly with us, but we do not do air ticketing.

    A: Yes this is quite possible. We do our utmost upstream to offer you services linked to your reservation so that you can have the widest choice.

    Q: Is it possible to change the terms of my reservation (in terms of destination, change of date, number of people, name of the person who booked) ? 

    A: Yes, that is possible. We invite you to contact us and explain your wishes for modifications. Concerning the dates, they may be postponed if this is possible in terms of availability and if it is within the rental conditions of the rented property. The price will be adjusted accordingly according to the rental price of the new period. Concerning the number of persons, this is also possible if it does not exceed the maximum capacity of the villa. Finally, if you are the person signing the contract and you cannot leave for personal or professional reasons, you can put it in the name of one of the persons who would have accompanied you and who is on the list of participants, or cancel your reservation (see cancellation conditions).
    Q: Do you offer any insurance ? 

    A: The SUNONSEAS VILLAS agency does not offer comprehensive insurance to its clients. The customer must therefore inquire with his civil liability insurance to validate a holiday insurance.
