Our role: direct merchant. We sell our own accommodation and restaurant services, in our own name, and we provide them ourselves. We are not an intermediary or a booking platform. We issue the invoice for the services. Card payments are processed by NETOPIA Payments, which is not a party to the accommodation contract. How the services are provided is described on the Delivery policy.
2. Scope of these terms
These terms apply to accommodation bookings made on this website and to table reservation requests at the restaurant. By submitting a booking, you confirm that you have read and accept them, together with the Privacy policy and the Online payment page, which form part of the contract.
You must be at least 18 years old to make a booking.
3. Services and prices
- Prices are shown in lei (RON), per room and per night, and include VAT.
- Before submitting your booking, you can see the total price of your stay, broken down by night and by room. The total shown at the end is the amount payable.
- Children under 11 stay free of charge in the parents’ bed, within the capacity of the room. The Deluxe Apartment is reserved for adults only.
- Details of what each room type includes, such as breakfast, are given on the room’s page and in the booking summary.
- Photographs are for illustration purposes. Rooms of the same type may differ slightly in layout, without this changing their essential features.
- If a price is displayed with an obvious error, we will contact you before confirmation: you may keep the booking at the correct price or cancel it, and any amount paid will be refunded in full.
4. Booking and conclusion of the contract
- Choose your arrival and departure dates and the number of guests, then the room or rooms.
- Enter the lead guest’s details and choose the payment method.
- Tick the box to accept these terms and submit the booking.
Until you submit it, you can change the dates, the rooms and the details entered at any time. The contract is concluded in Romanian when the booking receives the status Confirmed and we send you the confirmation by email. For online payments, confirmation follows once the bank approves the payment. A booking awaiting payment holds the room for 30 minutes; if the payment is not completed within this time, the booking expires and the room is released.
The link in the confirmation email lets you view your booking at any time and cancel it within the free cancellation period. We may refuse or cancel a booking in justified cases (incomplete or false details, suspected fraud); we will inform you, and any amount paid will be refunded in full.
5. Payment
The available payment methods are shown at the end of the booking process:
- online, by card (Visa, Mastercard), via NETOPIA Payments, when this option is shown at the end of the booking; details on the Online payment page;
