General Booking Conditions

Booking Confirmation
A reservation is confirmed only once the required prepayment has been successfully processed through our website. For payments made via bank transfer (upon request), confirmation will be issued after the amount has been credited to our account. For reimbursable rates, the balance will be charged to the credit card provided 2 days before arrival. If the payment cannot be processed due to insufficient funds or other issues, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation.

Security Deposit
A pre-authorization of €500 may be applied to the credit card used at the time of booking. This amount is not charged and will be automatically released at the end of the stay, provided that no damage to the property, furnishings, or equipment is reported.

City Tax
The applicable city tax can be paid directly via our online check-in tool: https://palazzinamaresa.kross.travel/guest
If unpaid by the end of the stay, we reserve the right to charge the due amount to the credit card provided at the time of booking.
