Terms and conditions.

Bookings of Villa Stella, Villa Astra, Villa Aurora, and Villa Polaris are subject to the following terms and conditions as agreed to at the time of booking. This property is privately owned. We expect all guests to enjoy the facilities and treat the property with the same respect that they would with their own house.

Contractual agreement.

A contract between you and the owners will come into existence when we receive payment and accept your booking by issuing a confirmation of booking for the holiday dates shown in the rental agreement. The contract binds you and all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms and conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract and loss of the booking. Bookings cannot be accepted from persons under eighteen years of age. We reserve the right to refuse a booking.

Time of arrival and departure.

Please note that all four houses have a minimum stay of 7 nights. All houses are rented from Saturday to Saturday. In order to allow the accommodation to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for incoming guests, all guests should follow the following arrival and departure times:

  • Arrival: Saturday after 16:00 local time
  • Departure: Saturday before 10:00 local time

Keys.

The keys can be picked up at the property management company Ylläs-Avain (Tunturintie 16A) upon arrival. Upon departure, the keys should be returned to the same location. The opening hours of Ylläs-Avain are the following:

  • Monday-Friday: 10:00-16:00

The payment can be made through credit card, debit card, direct bank transfer, or PayPal. A reservation fee of 30% of the holiday price is payable at the time of booking. Bookings made less than four weeks before your arrival date must be accompanied by the full amount of the holiday charge. The full balance (100% of the holiday price) must be paid so as to arrive no later than four weeks before the commencement of your holiday. If the balance is not received by the due date, your holiday will be treated as a cancellation and the guest will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent.
