Payments, User Registration and Bookings

Our website does not store any Credit Card Data, as all the payment system is redirected to a third-party secure Gateway payment provider.

In order to use this website or to have a more personalised user experience (saving favourite products/Villas for visits in a second moment), a user can complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site in which you have expressed interest.

We request information from you through an online or offline Booking Form. To buy from us, you may provide contact information (like name and address), while the financial information (like credit card number, expiration date) will be solely processed by a Third-Party supplier. This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.
