Alpenhaus Cottage is offered to the Client for holiday rental, subject to confirmation by the Owners, Mr & Mrs Curtis.

Reservations will be accepted by telephone, email or post. A deposit (10% of the total rent due) is required to secure the reservation. The deposit should arrive within 7 days of the initial reservation. If the deposit is not received within this time the dates will be re-classed as unreserved and made available again.

The remaining balance of the rental charge should be received by the Owners at least 6 weeks before the start of the reservation. If payment is not made at least 6 weeks before your stay the Owners have the right to cancel the reservation. In such event the Client remains liable to pay the remaining balance in full.

Reservations made within 6 weeks of the start date will require full payment at the time of booking.

Payment can be made by G.B. Bank cheque/transfer in pounds sterling, or by a French Bank cheque/transfer in Euros. Cheques from any other country require an additional 15 Euros to cover bank charges.

Cheques should be made payable to P Curtis.
