The Booking

These Terms and Conditions and the Booking Form contain all the provisions of your booking with Leo Trippi. They apply equally to you, the Group leader and to all the persons named in the Booking Form (Occupants). Your booking concerns a lodging in a furnished luxury Property with daily cleaning and any catering or other auxiliary services that you may have requested, and which are provided through third party supplier(s).

The Parties

Please note that Leo Trippi is solely acting as a booking agent in the name and on behalf of the Owner for the rental of the property and the services to be provided by any service provider [ here-after referred to as “the Service Provider”]. The Booking Documents, together with all applicable laws, constitute your agreement for:

(i) the short-term rental of the Property with the Owner; and

(ii) the services provided by the Service Provider.

The Property

The Properties are not hotels and as such are not generally classified by the tourist authorities or international rating agencies. All luxury properties may not contain the same facilities or standards if judged by objective criteria. Please be aware that Leo Trippi uses a marketing name for certain properties in its portfolio.

Breach of Agreement


If after the conclusion of this agreement, you do not make the payments mentioned above or you violate any other provision of the Booking Documents, the Owner and/ or Leo Trippi reserve their right to immediately terminate this agreement and refuse you access to the Property. In this event, no refund or compensation shall be due to you from either the Owner or Leo Trippi. The latter reserve their rights for any damages or loss of profit caused to them directly or indirectly from your breach of this agreement.

Special Requests

If you have any request for auxiliary services, you must inform Leo Trippi at the time of booking and clearly note it on your Booking Form. Leo Trippi shall endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier(s) and shall keep you informed in a timely manner of the possibility of executing such requests. Leo Trippi cannot guarantee the execution of every request and shall not be liable for the non-execution of special requests.

(ii) if cancelled less than 12 weeks before the arrival date, the full booking price will be forfeited.

We strongly advise that every client take out suitable holiday insurance for the duration of their stay, including cancellation insurance to limit your cancellation risk.

Changes and Cancellation by Leo Trippi

substitute the cancelled holiday.

commercial purpose.
