Keys are generally handed over at the beginning of the stay on Saturdays between 4pm and 7pm. They must be returned on the Saturday of the departure date before 10 am.

The number of occupants may in no case exceed the indicated capacity. In this case, the reservation may be cancelled. If, however, an overrun is granted in advance by A Marella and in this case only, and taking into account the additional costs caused by the change in the number of occupants, a supplement will be calculated in proportion to the number of persons.

During the stay, personal objects and effects are strictly the responsibility of the Client.
