General Conditions of Booking

1. Mediation
Jürgen Schulze runs a small Estate Agency seated in Stuttgart, Germany advising on houses, apartments and rooms for rent in Tuscany, Italy, in the name and on behalf of the landlord. The renting fee ist the one shown in our list, no commission is to be added.

3. Rentering conditions / Extra costs / Deposit
The property you have rented can accommodate a number maximum of people (a child is considered as a person). Exceptions are sometimes possible only upon request. The tenant is hold responsable for any dammage which may be caused to the rented property. Often there are some extra costs: cleaning, gas, electricity, wood or heating and in some cases you´ll be asked a refundable deposit (the amount is specified in the description of the property as well as in the letter of confirmation). You´ll pay it together with the amount due upon arrival and you´ll have it back on the departure day of check out. Pets are not allowed in all the houses: please check before booking. The majority of our properties are rentable for a minimum of 1 week, from Saturday to Saturday; exceptions might be possible on request. If you stay longer than one week, it might be taken into account the possibility of daily rent. Linen and towels are generally on hire: please check. Most of the accommodations on offer are restored farmhouses, furnished according to the owner´s taste. Kitchen and bedrooms have Italian standards (so, if you hire the linen, expect 2 sheets for each bed). Blankets and pillows are included. Like some other southern Mediterranean countries there might be an occasional water shortage or electrical black out (generally the problem lasts only a few hours, otherwise contact the landlord).
