Les Brisants - Internal Regulations
Internal regulations
At Les Brisants, we do everything we can to ensure you have an excellent stay. To guarantee a high-quality and worry-free experience, we ask that you carefully read the following rules.
By renting the villa Les Brisants you acknowledge that you have read these internal regulations and you agree to abide by them.
Occupancy rules
To ensure the comfort and safety of the occupants, the number of people staying at Les Brisants must correspond to the number of travelers declared on the reservation and not exceed the maximum capacity of 8 people.
Large parties and group events are prohibited.
However, an exception may be made to the maximum occupancy rule of 8 people for very young children sleeping in their own crib.
Baby equipment (cot, high chair, etc.) can be provided on request for an additional charge (see the "extras" section).
Pets are welcome free of charge under the responsibility of their owners in case of damage and if the latter pick up their droppings in the garden and vacuum their hair in the house.
We would appreciate it if you could inform us of their presence before your arrival.
Arrival and departure
Outside of peak season, we will be happy to offer you an early arrival and/or a late departure, subject to availability. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding this.
The arrival and departure arrangements will be specified to you in due course.
For your peace of mind, the house is equipped with a secure connected key box system which allows, particularly in case of late arrival, independent access to the accommodation.
To ensure you can fully enjoy the villa's many amenities and facilities, a detailed inventory will be available upon your arrival. Please do not hesitate to report any missing items, malfunctions, or damage on the day of your arrival. Otherwise, the rented property will be presumed to be in good condition and conform to the inventory provided.
Accessibility and location
The villa is situated on the dune by the beach, which results in some unique features.
The garden is accessible from the street after 1 step, it goes around the house on a gentle slope.
Inside the villa, a 6-step staircase separates two of the bedrooms, on the street side, from the rest of the house which is accessible on one level, on the ocean side.
The 4th bedroom of the villa is a mezzanine overlooking the living room.
It is accessible via a very steep miller's ladder, which is not recommended for people with reduced mobility or for young unaccompanied children.
- Route
The villa enjoys an exceptional location close to all the shops, restaurants and entertainment of one of the most popular places on the island of Oléron: the picturesque fishing port of La Cotinière.
Therefore, please note that the tourist route and cycle path in front of the house are very busy during peak season. Villa Les Brisants is therefore not suitable for those seeking a secluded and completely peaceful holiday in the summer.
Safety and eco-responsibility
If you wish to smoke outside, be very careful, the dune is fragile… Dispose of your cigarette butts in the ashtray provided.
The villa is located in a protected natural area subject to very strict environmental regulations. For these reasons, the use of the fireplace is prohibited.
LED candles are available to create a safe and warm atmosphere.
The regulations in force in the area prohibit this type of development under penalty of a fine.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed
Fire extinguisher available
The property is equipped with an alarm system featuring a powerful siren and a remote connection to the police. Inside the house, this system includes motion and door/window sensors, and outside, a security camera that only operates when the alarm system is activated. The entire system can, of course, never be activated when the villa is occupied. Therefore, it provides essential security when the house is empty, while guaranteeing the privacy of the occupants when the house is rented.
Household
To ensure you have a comfortable and peaceful holiday, we have put in place a cleaning service carried out before each arrival, at no extra cost.
However, we ask you to:
- Wash and put away your dishes, utensils, and kitchen appliances that you have used.
- Clean the griddle if you have used it
- Do not flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper, of course. Bins are provided for disposing of any other items (wipes, sanitary pads, etc.).
- Sort your waste, empty and dispose of your bins in accordance with local rules specified in the welcome guide provided on site.
The included cleaning service does not exempt you from taking care of the premises and returning them in a reasonably tidy and clean condition, consistent with normal use of the accommodation. In case of excessive mess, cleaning fees may be charged. We also ask that you take care of the equipment and linens we provide and return them in good condition.
Tourist tax
Regardless of the time of year, the Oléron Island inter-municipal authority levies a tourist tax on travelers staying on the island. This amount will be added to the total booking price and paid in full to the inter-municipal authority.
Security deposit (caution)
A security deposit of 700 euros is required before arrival to cover any potential damage, deterioration and loss during the rental period.
To facilitate and secure this operation, we use the Swikly online service which allows you to deposit your security deposit simply by credit card imprint, without paying in advance.
A few days before your arrival, you will receive an email inviting you to pay the security deposit. Simply click on the link and follow the instructions. This is not a payment: you will not be charged the requested amount and your credit card limit will not be affected.
The deposit will automatically expire a few days after your departure if no damage is found.
However, any breach of these house rules and, more generally, any loss or damage to the villa and its equipment may result in a partial or total deduction from the security deposit. This deduction will also include the collection fees charged by the Swikly platform.
