2. Booking & deposit
A booking is confirmed once a deposit of 30% of the total amount (accommodation + security deposit) has been received by bank transfer within 72 hours of confirmation that the dates are available. If no transfer is received within this period, the request is cancelled and the dates are released.
3. Balance & payment

A security deposit of €500 is required at the time of booking, included in the 30% deposit. It is returned within 7 days after departure, less any damage found.
5. Cancellation by the tenant
- More than 30 days before arrival: 50% of the deposit is refunded.
- Between 30 and 14 days: the deposit is retained in full.
- Less than 14 days or no-show: the full amount (excluding the security deposit) remains due.
6. Capacity & use
The minimum stay is 3 nights. The property is rented for a maximum of 6 people (not counting babies under 2). Any excess results in immediate termination of the contract without refund. Pets are allowed on prior request, subject to the landlord’s agreement. Smoking indoors is prohibited.
7. Inventory of fixtures
An inventory is carried out on arrival and departure. The tenant undertakes to return the property in the condition in which it was found.
8. Liability
FCM INVESTISSEMENT accepts no liability for accidents, theft or damage occurring during the rental period. The tenant is solely responsible for any damage caused to the property, its contents and third parties.
9. Pool & safety
The property has a swimming pool fitted with an approved immersed alarm. The tenant is solely responsible for activating this safety device and for its proper use throughout the stay. FCM INVESTISSEMENT cannot be held liable for any accident occurring if the tenant has not activated the alarm. Supervision of children around the pool is the sole responsibility of the adults present.
10. Alarm system

The tenant must hold holiday or home insurance covering damage that may occur during the stay (water damage, fire, glass breakage, claims by neighbours, etc.). The landlord may request proof of insurance before the tenant takes possession. Failing proof, FCM INVESTISSEMENT reserves the right to refuse access to the property.
