The Hotel reserve the right to use the guest credit card details to deduct from their account any unpaid outstanding balances i.e. late room charges, fumigation of the bedroom, damage charges.

A Designated Smoking Area is provided outside on each apartment’s private balcony.

CHECK-IN TIME

EARLY CHECK-IN/PRE-REGISTRATION

Early check-in is offered based on availability. If you require a guaranteed check in for arrival prior to 3 p.m. then Pre-Registration and payment may be required. Please send us an email, at villas@serenity-villas.gr, to make reservations and complete a credit card authorization form prior to your arrival.

CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS

Guests must be at least 18 years of age to check in at Santorini Heights. In the interests of security and to prevent fraud, guests are required to confirm their identity by providing their valid government issued photo identification (State driver’s license, passport, etc.) at check-in. A valid, signed, and pre- approved credit card in the name of the guest registration is also required. It is your responsibility to fully understand the manner in which your bank processes pre-authorizations and charges to your credit/debit card. Some banks hold pending authorizations for up to 30 business days.

PRE-AUTHORIZATION AT CHECK-IN

A pre-authorization is a temporary hold of a specific amount of your available credit limit balance placed on your credit/debit card for the full amount of your intended stay, plus tax. Pre-authorization is not a charge to your account, it is a hold on those funds. Once your actual charge is posted at check-out it can take anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days for the original pre-authorization to be removed by your bank. Generally, most banks release the hold within 3-5 days. It is your responsibility to be aware of how your bank handles all of your transactions, including pre-authorizations. We are unable to remove pre- authorizations directly through our hotel.

GUEST REGISTRATION

We require valid contact information from the guest making the reservations including first and last name, address, phone number, and signature. The names of all guests occupying the room must be registered. Information regarding your license plate/car description is also gathered at check-in for security.

CHECK-OUT TIME

Room rental period expires at 11:00 a.m. Additional day charge, plus tax may apply for late checkout.

CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE

Check-out time is 11 a.m. Please check-out with the Facility Manager so that housekeeping may begin cleaning your room as soon as possible. If you require a later check-out, please contact the Facility Manager prior to the day of your departure and we will do our best to accommodate your request. A charge may apply for late check-out.

EARLY DEPARTURE

Guests who check out of the hotel after 11:00 a.m. and prior to their scheduled departure date are subject to an early departure fee, plus tax.

SPECIAL REQUESTS

We will make every effort to honor special requests such as an early check in, a late check out and others, upon your arrival or during your stay. All special requests are noted on reservations and we will do our best to accommodate. However, the availability of these items cannot be guaranteed in advance.

MICROWAVE/REFRIGERATOR/COOKING

Preparation of food in the villas by any type of cooking appliances needs your attention. Please contact the Facility manager in case you need assistance. Please take special care when operating the oven or stove, as they present fire hazards. We ask that you refrain from microwaving any pungent food as the odor is difficult to remove from fabric, a cleaning fee may be assessed. Most commercially prepared food intended for the microwave has not previously caused a problem, so we suggest that option. Microwaving your fresh caught trout will be an issue.

ADA/HANDICAPPED ROOMS

Unfortunately, our hotel doesn’t have ADA compliant guest rooms.

PAYMENT

All reservations and registration must be guaranteed with a valid major credit card. We accept Visa & Master Card. Pursuant to credit card agreements, credit cards are not valid unless signed by the cardholder. Credit cards must be signed. Cash (EUR) payment is welcomed with a signed and pre- authorized credit card. All guests are required to present a valid major credit card and government issued photo identification even if guests are planning on paying in cash upon check-out. Checks and foreign currency not accepted.

CHECKS AND CHECK CASHING

We do not accept checks. We do not provide check cashing services.

DEBIT CARD/CREDIT CARD HOLDERS

Your credit card is not valid unless signed. We will refuse an unsigned card. Your Debit or Credit Card will be pre-authorized at check-in for the full amount of your stay. The pre-authorization will HOLD the funds until check-out, at which time the amount actually incurred during your stay will be charged. If you change your method of payment at check-out or change the length of your stay, your bank may not post the changes to your account immediately. Serenity Villas has no control over the policies of your bank and will not be held liable for any “insufficient funds” penalties or any other resulting fees or charges. It is your responsibility to fully understand the manner in which your bank processes pre- authorizations and charges to your debit or credit card. Some banks hold pending authorizations for up to 30 days.

DEPOSITS AND GUARANTEES

There is no deposit required to make an individual villa reservation. However, a major credit card is required at the time of booking to guarantee the room and secure the reservation period.

RESERVATION AND PAYMENT FOR GUESTS BY PRIVATE THIRD PARTIES

Generally, third party payment is not permitted. In the case of paying for a family member if you will not be physically present at the hotel, we require prior completion and approval of a Credit Card Authorization form including a copy of your government document and the front and back of your signed credit card. You will be responsible for any and all damages and loss. We reserve the right to refuse reservation at any time for any reason.
