I – What our rates include:

1.1 – Short term rentals (from 2 to 29 nights)

The nightly rate applies to all short-term rentals. For stays between 7 and 29 nights, the rate includes a discount of 10% off the nightly rate. For stays between 30 and 90 nights, the rate includes a discount of 35% off the nightly rate

Nightly rates are based on:

Double (2) occupancy for studios and 1-bedroom apartments, using the same bed.
Four (4) persons occupancy for 2 bedroom apartments, with 2 beds.
Six (6) persons occupancy for 3 bedroom apartments, with 3 beds.

The supplement for an extra guest, or for the preparation of the sofa bed or an extra bed, is 22 € per night, per guest.

This tariff doesn't include the agency commission (of 29€ to 100€ according to the size of the apartment), and the city tax (0.90€ / people / night)

1.2 - Long term rentals (30 nights or more)

For long-term rentals (1 months or more), monthly rates apply. Monthly rental rates do not include agency fees or utility consumption such as electricity, gas, telephone, etc..

For long-term rentals, the agency fee is calculated as follows:

2 month rental (low season only) = ½ month rent
3 month rental = ¾ month rent
3 to 6 month rental = 1 month’s rent
6 to 9 month rental = 20% of the total rent for the entire period
9 to 11 month rental = 18% of the total rent for the entire period
1 year rental = 15% of the total rent for the entire period
Renewal from 12 to 24 months = 7,5% of total rent for the entire period
Renewal from 24 to 36 months = 3,75% of total rent for the entire period

Please do not hesitate to contact us with long-term rental inquiries to receive our best rates. The longer your stay, the better the rate we can offer, so more attractive rates are negotiable.
