Upon booking, no deposit will be charged. We will ask for your credit card details only as a guarantee, to perform a pre-authorisation anytime before the arrival date.

We accept the following payment methods on-site: cash, credit cards (Visa or MasterCard), and debit cards (Maestro, BA, Karanta).

  • GUARANTEED RESERVATIONS

With the pre-authorisation, the amount of the reservation is »held« as unavailable for a certain period. Please note that the pre-authorisation amount is not held by our property or by our authorising bank but it’s held on your card by your issuing bank. The amount is released automatically by the online payment processor after a maximum of 7 days. However, the actual release period can take anywhere longer. If the amount is not released within 10 days, you will need to contact your home issuing bank. No reservations shall be fully confirmed without a pre-authorisation as a proper guarantee. If you do not possess a credit card, we can alternatively prepare a pro forma invoice and send it to you via e-mail. In this case, the payment is made by bank transfer before your arrival.

Payment of the full amount of the reservation will be completed in advance, at the time of booking. Upon arrival, you will be given an invoice for your stay.
