Booking.com Contract
Last Updated: March 2026 - MiTuCasa
These terms and conditions (the "Booking Contract") of MiTuCasa are binding for the Manager and his staff ("Manager") of the accommodation ("Structure") and for all travelers ("Guest") who book through the MiTuCasa website and forms (both "Parties"). This Booking Contract is not binding for Guests who book through third-party platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb, other OTAs) which apply their own terms of service, although some points of this contract remain valid where explicitly stated ("Platform"). This Booking Contract and the confirmation email sent by the Manager contain the entire agreement with the Guest and constitute the contractual documentation. It is strongly recommended to read carefully. No clause or provision contained in this Booking Contract affects the Guest's rights recognized by Italian law. The contract is concluded online without requiring a paper signature: consent is expressed through booking confirmation according to EC Regulation 593/2008.
1. Booking Procedure
MiTuCasa offers two booking methods at the Manager's discretion:
Method 1: Full Payment in Advance
You pay the complete amount stated in the initial estimate (accommodation + expenses + deposit) provided by the Manager via email or website. Once all required data and payment are received, the booking request is confirmed only after receiving the confirmation email from the Manager with cancellation policy. At that moment, this Booking Contract previously accepted by the Guest online or via email becomes active.
Method 2: Deposit + Balance at Check-in
You pay a deposit at booking to secure availability. The accommodation balance is paid at check-in according to agreed methods. Booking is confirmed with the Manager's confirmation email. This method may also be requested by Guests who book on other Platforms.
The Guest may request a copy of this Booking Contract from the Manager at any time.
2. Payment: Accepted Methods and Facilitators
The payment facilitator used by MiTuCasa for online payments is Stripe Inc., registered in the United States with registered office at 510 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. Payments are secure and protected with SSL 256-bit encryption.

The Guest is required to inquire by contacting the Manager if certain services mentioned on mitucasa.com are active. The Structure may have specific rules (no smoking, pets not allowed, etc.) that must be respected to avoid penalties. We advise informing yourself before booking by consulting the specific Structure regulation.
6. Promotions and Discounts
Any promotions or discounts offered by MiTuCasa may exclude certain services to maintain lower costs. Guests who participate in promotions or discounts are advised to always ask the Structure if there are services excluded from the offer that appear on the website or Booking Platform.
