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.

Payment Method Limitations Notes

Bank Transfer No limitations Processing time 1-3 business days
Other Methods Not accepted POS debit cards, NFC, cryptocurrencies not available (except agreements with third-party platforms)

In case of non-payment of the requested amount within the agreed deadlines, the Structure reserves the right not to accept the booking and cancel it.

3. Cancellation or Modification by the Guest

4. Cancellation or Modification by the Structure

The Manager normally does not make changes to bookings already agreed and accepted. However, problems may arise that make it necessary to modify or cancel a booking.

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

5. The Stay: Schedule and Rules

Check-in Schedule

The Guest will be accepted starting from the time specified in the confirmation email. Times are communicated in writing with due advance notice.

Check-out Schedule

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

Luggage Storage

Available before check-in or after check-out upon request and subject to availability.

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.

7. Guest Duties and Responsibilities

The Guest agrees to act in compliance with the provisions expressed in the regulation available at the Structure, any regulations communicated by the Manager, and these Booking Conditions.

The Guest agrees to keep and leave the Structure (premises, common and private areas), furnishings, kitchen equipment, dishes, glasses, and any objects in use in good condition. The Guest agrees not to cause damage to walls, doors, windows, or other parts of the Structure, nor take any action that could reasonably be considered a nuisance to neighbors, tenants, or other adjacent occupants.

The Guest must take all necessary measures to protect personal belongings during the stay. The Guest authorizes the Manager to handle any objects found unattended within the Structure. The Guest is responsible for verifying that spaces and all objects present are in excellent condition. If anything is found not working, broken, or deteriorated, it must be reported immediately to the Manager.

The Guest must ensure that all persons included in the booking have tourist insurance coverage (covering cancellation, flight delays, luggage loss) and health insurance coverage (covering evacuation, repatriation). If the Guest does not have such insurance or wants to integrate it, MiTuCasa Insurance can be activated at the time of booking or at check-in.

The number of occupants in the Structure must correspond exactly to the authorized number. It is forbidden to change the group composition during the stay. Pets are allowed only where permitted by the Manager and can never be left alone or in conditions that cause annoyance or damage. In case of non-compliance, the Manager may deny access or require immediate departure without any refund.

The Guest agrees to allow during the stay, at reasonable and/or agreed times, access to the Manager or representatives for essential repairs, emergencies, or compliance verification. If the Guest remains beyond the agreed check-out time, the Manager has the right to access the spaces and take necessary measures to remove the Guest according to law, applying additional costs for each hour of delay.

The Guest must inform the Manager before booking of any medical condition, disability, or physical condition requiring special precautions or structural compliance. The Guest is solely responsible for data provided and undertakes not to omit or give false information. The Guest is also responsible for providing correct, complete, and updated contact details for the entire duration of the stay.

The Guest who made the booking is responsible for the actions and behavior of all group members. The Guest is also responsible for obtaining their consent before providing personal data to the Manager. The Guest must ensure the security of the Structure and equipment during the stay. The Guest will be held responsible and subject to compensation if, for example, keys are left attached to the entrance door or windows are left open causing a theft. The Structure reserves the right not to accept Guests without minimum hygiene accessories that could cause degradation of objects.

8. Damages Policy

The maximum ceiling for damages is set at 5,000 euros. The maximum deposit required is 500 euros, to be paid at the time of booking or at check-in (except for special agreements with third-party platforms).

Situation Procedure Discount Applied
Guest reports damage immediately Direct debit if deposit insufficient, or partial withholding of deposit for damage amount 20% discount on object value for timely communication
Manager discovers damage at check-out Inspection (15-30 minutes), direct debit if deposit insufficient, or partial withholding No discount

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

The Manager will send photos of the damage via email and estimate or receipt for restoration or purchase of the damaged object. The Guest has the right to oppose according to legal terms.

The damages policy is not linked to: general cleaning, ordinary wear and tear, any crimes suffered (theft), or non-physical damages (smoking fines or introduction of pets if not allowed).

9. Administrative Sanctions

Each Structure has specific regulations due to territorial circumstances, local laws, type of housing, condominium rules, etc.

Violation of these rules results in a pecuniary administrative sanction starting from a minimum of 50 euros, at the Manager's discretion. It is strongly advised to inform yourself about obligations and sanctions by consulting the Structure regulation where you are staying.
