Date changes
Requests to change the dates of a direct booking are assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on property availability and the notice given.
- More than 60 days in advance: date changes are generally accepted without penalty, subject to availability.
- Between 30 and 60 days: changes are possible at Trulli d'Amore's discretion; a penalty of 10% of the total amount may apply.
- Less than 30 days: changes are subject to availability and may not be possible. A change request does not constitute cancellation; if change is not possible, the cancellation conditions apply.
All change requests must be sent in writing to info@trullidamore.com and are only finalised upon receipt of written confirmation from Trulli d'Amore.
08
Property damage
Guests are responsible for any damage caused to the property, furnishings, equipment or other items during their stay. Damage is photographically documented at check-out and compared with documentation of the property's condition at check-in.
- Security deposit: for direct bookings, a security deposit of up to €500 may be required, payable before check-in and returned within 3 working days of check-out if no damage is found.
- Damage assessment: in the event of damage, Trulli d'Amore will provide a written estimate to the guest within 5 working days of check-out.
- Damage exceeding the deposit: the guest is liable for the full assessed damage amount, even if it exceeds the security deposit paid.
For Airbnb bookings, Airbnb's AirCover programme applies for damage coverage under its own terms. For Booking.com, refer to the platform's conditions.
09
Force majeure
In the presence of documented force majeure events — natural disasters, epidemics declared by national or international health authorities, government measures preventing travel or access to the property — Trulli d'Amore will assess on a case-by-case basis the possibility of:
- Full or partial refund of the amount paid;
- Voucher of equivalent value to be used on another date (18 months validity);
- Deferral of the booking to an agreed date, without penalty.
Personal reasons (ordinary illness, work commitments, change of plans), adverse weather conditions that do not make access routes impassable, transport sector strikes not officially declared. In these cases, the standard cancellation conditions apply.
Force majeure requests must be documented and submitted in writing to info@trullidamore.com before the arrival date.
