We do not accept liability for travel expenses, alternative accommodation or other expenses that may be incurred. For this reason we strongly advise you to take out some form of travel/trip insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed – this should cover any cancellations for reasons beyond your control

Please note that property is limited only to the number of guests booked. Only guests listed on the booking form may stay within the property and make use of all facilities available. No changes/substitutions can be made. The property is to be used for holiday accommodation only and not for any commercial activity, party or disco. Failure to observe this condition is deemed to constitute a cancellation of the booking by the client and the Management of Citrine Villa reserving the right to refuse admittance or terminate the booking.
Security deposit/damage: When renting the villa you are expected that your party members act responsibly and respect the property and its contents. A security/damage deposit is not required upon confirmation of the booking. However, the party leader aggress to accept full responsibility for all loss or damage to the property and its contents caused by any member of the party and confirms that the full cost of repair or replacement will be met while/during the occupancy of the villa.

It is your responsibility to ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked when leaving the property. If theft or damage to the property occurs through negligence on your part, the owner is entitled to seek compensation from you.
Conduct: Your holiday villa is located in a nice residential estate where your neighbours may be Maltese residents. We ask that you act in a considerate and courteous manner to your neighbours. We expect you to have fun but we also request that noise be kept to a minimum during early mornings and late evenings, particularly around the patio and pool.

Mr. Garrett Zerafa and Mrs. Stephanie Zerafa are not liable for the acts, errors omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any such suppliers or for any personal injuries, death, property damage or other damages or expenses resulting to the guest.
Pools: Swimming pools are great fun and few people would choose a holiday home without one. However they are an obvious source of danger especially for young children. We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any injury/death caused as a result of using the swimming pools. You are particularly advised never to allow children to use the pools unsupervised. For the winter period the indoor pool is included within the price. However, since we have very hot summer months the indoor pool is not included in the summer. However, should you want to make use of the facility an extra fee of €275 per week is applicable. Kindly indicate your intention of use when filling the booking form. Please note the pools will need to service once or twice a week and access must be available to the pool manager.
Air Conditioning: The villa is completely air conditioned including all five bedrooms, kitchen/dining and living area. The prices quoted include a €50 on account per week for the a/c. This credit should be able to cover the usage of a/c for the week. Should you use this credit, extra usage has to be paid for by purchasing a pre paid card from the management. This measure has been taken to avoid wastage of electricity while the villa is not occupied. Any damage/ loss to the a/c remotes will result to a cost of €100 each.
Maintenance: All breakages, accidents, problems and losses must be reported to the management as soon as they occur so that they can be attended to. As with any home appliances, from time to time these may malfunction and may need repair – the management will use their best endeavours to have any problem rectified as quickly as possible. Repair times may be dependent on third parties such as utility companies. Access to the Villa may be required by authorized maintenance personnel during your stay (you will be advised beforehand and this will be done with your approval).
