To reserve for La Colle en Provence, The Main House

Contact us with the requested dates (see the bottom of this page) and send it to us by  Email.

Upon receipt of your Email or fax, we will hold the reservation requested unless it has already been booked. We will also send you a confirmation of the "booking option" form with our request for the 40% deposit for the photo safari.

If we have not received your transfer for the deposit within five days of us issuing you the "booking option" form, we will cancel your reservation.

Once we have received full payment, we will issue you with a fully confirmed reservation, maps on how to get to La Colle,  plus local information.

No later than two months before your visit, you will be expected to have paid the balance of your account for the stay of the accommodation, and the booking is not fully confirmed until the balance is paid by this date.

You will be expected to have paid the security deposit (refundable after departure) for the term of the stay. Information: HERE (short term). A separate request will be made for this, allowing easy repayment. Long let stays two months security deposit.

Please leave before 10.00 hours as we need a minimum of 4/6 hours to prepare the property for the next guests.

Your accommodation will be clean on arrival. Bed linen and bathroom towels, one set per stay, are already supplied with the accommodation. You will also find that we have already made the beds up for you on your arrival, so there will be no work awaiting you. 

In France, the traditional method of renting gîtes or stay accommodation is based on leaving the property thoroughly cleaned and presented for the next guest. We, however, understand that you are on holiday, and although we do not expect you to leave the accommodation all messed up, we accept that you can leave the property tidy and ready for the cleaner. For this purpose, you will be asked for a cleaning fee left for the cleaner in an envelope when you leave. 

Stay information: HERE (short term),

This used to be optional, but due to the inconsistent nature of how the properties were left, this has now been changed.

CANCELLATION:
If you cancel your reservation after paying the 40% deposit up to the 8th week prior to your booked date, the deposit will be paid in full minus a 150 € administrative charge. No refund will be made on cancellations under the 8th week. If you are at all unsure about your plans but still wish to reserve your booking, we recommend that you take out a holiday insurance cover, which will protect your deposit on cancellation.

Disputes and jurisdiction will be settled in the French courts.

Number of people using the accommodation: Each property has intended configurations indicated on the description pages. These indications provide for the comfortable numbers designed for each property, and the equipment and facilities supplied for your stay at the property have been calculated on these numbers. We prefer that these numbers are respected for you to have that individual and peaceful holiday that you have sought. If more people than are catered for by the property lodge or stay at the property, the management reserves the right to charge a per head per day additional. Stay information: HERE (short term).

Early departures: In the event of an early departure other than the end date of the period, reserved via the Booking Option will incur the full charge.

Access track to La Colle Main House and La Colle Galileo; Low-slung cars ( i.e. sports cars) and caravans are not recommended to be taken to the hamlet. Normal cars ( ours are a KIA Sportage  & a Vitara ) regularly use the tracks throughout the year. (For further information on this track, click here)

Bon Voyage !! And we look forward to having the pleasure of seeing you
