If the reservation change is not possible, and for this reason the guests decide to cancel the confirmed reservation, the following conditions relating to a reservation cancellation will apply. The change in the accommodation unit and any other changes made after the period of sixty days referred to above will be regarded as a reservation cancellation.

The date of notification by the guests of their intention to proceed with a cancellation is considered as the basis for calculating the cancellation costs of the reservation:
Any cancellations notified within the period of sixty days prior to the performance of the accommodation services imply the 10% payment of the accommodation price after the cost required for money transfer;
Any cancellations notified between the 59th and the 8th day before the arrival do not allow the guests to receive any repayment of the deposit already paid;
Any cancellations notified between the 7th day and on the same day of their expected arrival date imply the full payment of the accommodation unit being booked by the guests. In the event of no-show of the guests by midnight of the expected arrival day without any prior notice to the Agency or to the lessor, the reservation will be considered canceled and the cancellation fees referred to above will apply.
