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.

Payment method Limitations Notes
Credit/debit card No limitations Recommended method, immediate processing
Cash Maximum 1,999.99 euros per transaction Per D.Lgs. 178/2020, only if accepted by the Manager
Bank transfer No limitations Processing time 1-3 business days
Other methods Not accepted POS debit card, NFC, cryptocurrencies not available (unless agreed with third-party platforms)

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.

3. Cancellation or modification by the Guest

To cancel or modify a booking, contact the Manager promptly via email, phone, WhatsApp, or through the contact form on the website. Contact details are available in the confirmation email and on the MiTuCasa.com website.

4. Cancellation or modification by the Property

The Manager does not normally make changes to confirmed bookings. However, issues may arise that make modification or cancellation necessary.

In such cases, the Guest will be contacted promptly and informed of the change or cancellation. If the booking is cancelled, the Manager will refund all amounts paid.

5. The stay: hours and rules

Check-in

The Guest will be welcomed from the time specified in the confirmation email. Times are communicated in writing with adequate advance notice.

Check-out

The Guest must vacate the Property by the time specified in the confirmation email. Late check-out upon request (if available).

Luggage storage

Available before check-in or after check-out. Cost: 5 euros per day per piece of luggage (no hourly rate).

The Property may have specific rules (no smoking, no pets, etc.) that must be respected to avoid penalties. We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Property's regulations before booking.

6. Promotions and discounts

Any promotions or discounts offered by MiTuCasa may exclude certain services in order to maintain lower costs. Guests taking advantage of promotions or discounts are advised to always check with the Property whether any services are excluded from the offer.

7. Guest obligations and responsibilities

The Guest agrees to act in accordance with the regulations available at the Property, any instructions communicated by the Manager, and these Booking Terms and Conditions.

The Guest undertakes to keep and leave the Property (rooms, common and private areas), furniture, kitchen equipment, crockery, glassware, and all items in use in good condition. Causing damage to walls, doors, windows, or other parts of the Property is not permitted, nor are any actions that could reasonably be considered a nuisance to neighbors, tenants, or other adjacent occupants.

The Guest must take all necessary measures to protect their personal belongings during their stay. The Guest authorizes the Manager to handle any items found unattended inside the Property. The Guest is responsible for verifying that all spaces and items are in excellent condition. If anything is found to be not working, broken, or in a state of disrepair, it must be reported to the Manager immediately.

The Guest must ensure that all persons included in the booking have travel insurance coverage (cancellation, flight delay, lost luggage) and medical insurance coverage (evacuation, repatriation). If the Guest does not have such coverage or wishes to supplement it, they may activate MiTuCasa Insurance at the time of booking or at check-in.

The number of occupants at the Property must exactly match the authorized number. Changing the group composition during the stay is not permitted. Pets are only allowed where expressly permitted by the Manager and may never be left unattended or in conditions that cause nuisance or damage. Failure to comply may result in the Manager denying access or requiring immediate departure without any refund.

The Guest agrees to allow the Manager or their representatives access to the Property during the stay, at reasonable and/or agreed times, for essential repairs, emergencies, or contract compliance checks. In the event of the Guest remaining beyond check-out time, the Manager has the right to access the premises and take the necessary measures to remove the Guest in accordance with the law, applying additional charges for each hour of delay.

The Guest must inform the Manager before booking of any medical conditions, disabilities, or physical conditions that require special accommodations or structural compliance. The Guest is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information provided and undertakes not to omit or provide false information. The Guest is also responsible for providing correct, complete, and up-to-date contact details for the entire duration of the stay.

The Guest who made the booking is responsible for the actions and conduct of all group members. They are also responsible for obtaining their consent before providing personal data to the Manager. The Guest must ensure the security of the Property and its contents during the stay. They will be held liable and subject to compensation if, for example, they left keys in the door or windows open in their absence and this resulted in a theft. The Property reserves the right to refuse Guests who lack basic hygiene items that could cause deterioration of the furnishings.

8. Damage policy

The maximum damage liability is set at 5,000 euros. The maximum security deposit required is usually 500 euros (depending on the Property), payable at the time of booking or at check-in (unless otherwise agreed with third-party platforms).

Situation Procedure Discount applied
Guest reports damage immediately Direct charge if security deposit is insufficient, or partial withholding of security deposit for the damage amount 20% discount on the item's value for prompt reporting
Manager discovers damage at check-out Inspection (15-30 minutes), direct charge if security deposit is insufficient, or partial withholding of security deposit No discount

At check-out, the Guest may be asked to remain for 15-30 minutes to allow for an inspection. If damage is found, the Guest must sign a liability form authorizing the Manager to retain the agreed amount as compensation (unless otherwise agreed).

The Manager will send photos of the damage by email along with a quote or receipt for the repair or replacement of the damaged item. The Guest has the right to contest this in accordance with applicable law.

The damage policy does not cover: general cleaning, ordinary wear and tear, criminal acts suffered (theft), or non-physical damages (fines for smoking or bringing in unauthorized pets).

9. Administrative penalties

Each Property has specific regulations based on local circumstances, local laws, type of accommodation, building rules, etc.

Violation of these rules results in an administrative monetary penalty starting at a minimum of 50 euros, at the Manager's discretion. Guests are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with the obligations and penalties by consulting the specific regulations of the Property where they will be staying.

10. MiTuCasa Insurance

MiTuCasa offers comprehensive insurance at a cost of 60 euros per person, covering various risks and providing assistance in many aspects of the stay. Full details on coverage are available at mitucasa.com/en/insurance.

If you cancel after the 15-day standard refund window, you are entitled to the full amount paid plus any security deposit. No charges will be applied.

Refund for property issues

In the event of any issues, contact the Manager immediately to facilitate a prompt resolution. If it is not possible to remedy the problem during the stay, the Manager may offer (at their discretion and based on severity) a discount voucher for future bookings at all MiTuCasa properties.

No statement, undertaking, or promise made during pre-confirmation negotiations shall be considered binding unless explicitly stated in the contract.
