Natura Lodge Rental Terms and Conditions

1. Reservations / Rules:

The reservation becomes effective when the customer has sent a deposit of 25% (50% for groups) of the total rental amount, either by credit card, bank check, transfer or holiday vouchers (ANCV). You will then receive a confirmation email containing practical information relating to your stay. The balance of your rental must be paid no later than 1 month before the start of your stay.

Any reservation made less than 1 month before the start of the stay must be paid in full when booking.

Attention: in the absence of payment of the deposit within 8 days, Natura Lodge will be able to cancel your pre-reservation and put the accommodation back on the rental.

Natura Lodge reserves the right to refuse reservations for one or two nights on bank holiday weekends, bridges, school holidays and in July and August.

Any additional service will be payable on the day of departure, according to the current rates displayed on site: meals, drinks, additional beds, massages, etc. The prior confirmation sent before your arrival can therefore no longer be contractual if you have consumed additional services and/or if the number of people accommodated has changed.
