The security deposit will be totally given back at the end of the vacation in case any damages are not present. In case of damages, part of the deposit will be withheld by the property owner / manager.

The client, by booking a Teseotur property, declares that they have seen and read pictures and information about the accommodation chosen on Teseotur websites. The client must inform Teseotur about any particular personal request (if possibly doable). If the request is doable, it can be part of specific and special agreements wrote as a note on the travel document.
