Booking Contract
Last Updated: March 2026 - MiTuCasa
These terms and conditions (the "Booking Contract") of MiTuCasa are binding on the Manager and their staff ("Manager") of the accommodation ("Property") and on all travelers ("Guest") who book through the MiTuCasa.com website. This contract is not binding on those who book through third-party platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb, other OTAs) which apply their own terms of service, although some provisions of this contract remain valid where explicitly indicated. The booking contract and the confirmation email received from the Manager constitute the entire agreement between the parties and must be read carefully. No clause affects the Guest's rights recognized under Italian law. The contract is concluded online without the need for a handwritten signature: consent is expressed through booking confirmation in accordance with Regulation (EC) 593/2008.
1. Booking procedure
MiTuCasa offers two booking options at the Manager's discretion:
Option 1: Full payment in advance
Pay the full amount stated in the quote (stay + fees + security deposit) at the time of booking. The booking is confirmed only upon receipt of the Manager's confirmation email specifying the cancellation terms. At that point, the booking contract accepted online or via email becomes active.
Option 2: Deposit + balance at check-in
Pay a security deposit at the time of booking to hold availability. The balance for the stay is paid at check-in using the agreed payment method. The booking is confirmed with the Manager's confirmation email. This option may also be requested by guests booking through other platforms.
The Guest may request a copy of the booking contract from the Manager at any time.
2. Payments: accepted methods and processors
The online payment processor used by MiTuCasa is Stripe Inc., registered in the United States at 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. Payments are secure and protected with 256-bit SSL encryption.

In the event of non-payment of the required amount by the agreed deadlines, the Property reserves the right to decline and cancel the booking.
