Cuendet Booking Conditions

The properties that Cuendet offers are not tourist structures but private houses. Being such they do not have standards recognized internationally but rather reflect, in architecture and furnishings, the local traditions and personal taste of the owner. A keyholder or the owner will meet you on arrival day at the appointed time and they will show you the workings of the appliances, etc. Be sure that you lock the property and turn off all lights and appliances when you leave to avoid responsibility for damage or destruction caused by carelessness. Any problem that does occur should be referred to the keyholder for a solution: do not ignore any potential problem. Use the same commom sense in handling the property as if it were your own home. The owner/keyholder will appreciate your attention to the state of the building and grounds.

To understand comfort ratings -
* 1-4 based on amenities, 1 being the highest. It is based on the quality of the furniture inside, the quality of outdoor equipment (houses with garden), the quality of the beds, the style of kitchen and bathroom services, and the outdoor maintenance. Charm is a special designation for houses that have special character, though we noted several deserving candidates that were passed over!


The Fine Print

No later than 60 days prior to arrival the final amount is due to Houses for Hire. We do not add any extra costs to Cuendet’s listed tariff.

Once a client gives confirmation of accepting the rental booking cancellation and change fees apply. Changes of date incur a $35 fee.

Cancellations and changes must be in writing and the date of arrival by fax or mail is considered the day of notice. Please consider travel insurance to protect your holiday investment.
