The vacation home is handed over by the landlord in a tidy and clean condition with a complete inventory. Should defects be present or occur during the rental period, the landlord must be informed immediately. The guest is liable for any damage caused by him to the rented property, the inventory, e.g. broken crockery, damage to the floor or furniture. This also includes the cost of lost keys. The inventory must be treated with care and is only intended to remain in the vacation apartment. Moving furniture, in particular beds, is prohibited. The tenant is also liable for the fault of fellow travelers. Damage caused by force majeure is excluded from this. The contract may be terminated without notice if the vacation home is used in breach of contract, e.g. by subletting, over-occupancy, disturbance of the peace, etc., or if the full rental price is not paid. The rent already paid remains with the landlord. If liability insurance exists, the damage must be reported to the insurance company. The name and address as well as the insurance number must be communicated to the landlord.

§6 Pets

The accommodation of pets of any kind in the vacation apartment is only permitted with the prior written consent of the landlord. The Landlord shall charge a reasonable surcharge for the accommodation of pets.

§7 Stay

The subletting and subletting of the vacation home to third parties is not permitted. Passing on the rental agreement to third parties is not permitted. The tenant agrees to the general terms and conditions and the house rules of Villa Celeste. In the event of violations of the terms and conditions or the house rules, the landlord is entitled to terminate the tenancy immediately and without notice. There is no legal claim to repayment of the rent or compensation for damages.


§8 Cancellation of the trip

Cancellation must be made in writing. Please send an email to reservation@villa-celeste.com explicitly stating the name of the person who made the booking and the period of stay if you wish to cancel. In case of cancellation of the rental agreement, the tenant is obliged to pay a 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 for which we are not responsible and which make fulfillment impossible, liability is limited to reimbursement of costs. The landlord can withdraw after the start of the lease without notice if the tenant disturbs other tenants despite warning or behaves contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the lease is justified.

§10 Liability of the landlord

The landlord is liable within the scope of due diligence of a prudent businessman for the proper provision of the rental property. Liability for any failures or disturbances in the water or power 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 maintains Internet access via Wifi in his vacation home. He allows the tenant to use the wireless Internet access for the duration of his stay in the vacation home. The landlord does not guarantee the actual availability, suitability or reliability of the Internet access for any purpose. He is entitled at any time to allow other co-users to operate the WLAN in whole, in part or temporarily and to restrict or exclude the access of the tenant in whole, in part or temporarily if the connection is or was misused, insofar as the landlord must fear a claim as a result and cannot prevent this with ordinary and reasonable effort in a reasonable time. In particular, the lessor reserves the right to block access to certain sites or services via Wifi (e.g. sites glorifying violence, pornographic sites or sites with costs) at any time and at its reasonable discretion.
11.2.Access data
Use is by means of access security. The access data (login and password) may not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances. If the lessee wishes to grant third parties access to the Internet via the Wifi, this requires the prior written consent of the lessor and the acceptance of the provisions of this usage agreement by the third party, documented by signature and complete identification. The Lessee undertakes to keep his access data secret. The lessor has the right to change the access data at any time.

11.3 Dangers of Wifi use, limitation of liability
The tenant is informed that the Wifi only allows access to the Internet, virus protection and firewall are not available. The data traffic generated via the Wifi is not encrypted. The data can therefore possibly be viewed by third parties. The lessor expressly points out that when using the Wifi there is a risk that malware (e.g. viruses, Trojans, worms, etc.) can get onto the end device. The use of the WLAN is at the tenant's own risk. The Lessor assumes no liability for damage to digital media of the Lessee caused by the use of the Internet access, unless the damage was caused by the Lessor and/or its vicarious agents intentionally or through gross negligence.
11.4 Responsibility and release from claims
The lessee is responsible for the data transmitted via Wifi, the chargeable services used and the legal transactions not carried out. If the Lessee visits chargeable websites or enters into liabilities, the resulting costs shall be borne by him. He is obliged to comply with the applicable law when using the Wifi. In particular, he shall: not use the Wifi to access or distribute immoral or illegal content; not illegally reproduce, distribute or make accessible any copyrighted goods; this applies in particular in connection with the use of file-sharing programs; observe the applicable youth protection regulations; not send or distribute any harassing, defamatory or threatening content; not use the Wifi to send mass messages (spam) and/or other forms of illegal advertising for the Wifi by the Lessee and/or indicate a violation of this Agreement, this also extends to costs and expenses in connection with the claim or its defense. If the Lessee realizes or must realize that such infringement and/or violation exists or threatens, he shall inform the Lessor of the Holiday Home about this circumstance.
