For any inconvenience related to your room and equipment in and around the house we thank you for letting us know as soon as possible.
It is common sense that any damage caused to the rooms, its objects and equipment or/and the property will be paid for in full by the tenant. This can be amongst others any breakages, stains, spillages, damage to furniture or fixtures and fittings.

Some of the furnishings are very old, valuable and partly non-replaceable items such as furniture, lamps, crockery, etc. In case of damage, you are obliged to pay the financial value for the replacement in this or at least similar form and age before your departure. Please note that in some cases this may involve several items, even if they are not damaged, if they form an ensemble. This is the case, for example, with crockery and pairs of lamps.
Please inform us immediately of any damage before your departure. If we have to discover them ourselves after your departure, we will charge an additional amount of 100€ for the cost of replacement.
The easiest way is to avoid the damage and to be very respectful of our facilities.
