What to expect from our passionate service?

  • No risk of disappointment

    We have personally visited, tested and fallen in love with each of our house. Inclusion to our selection can’t be bought. At least one member of our team spent a few nights in all our villas, so we know every owner by its first name as well as the name of their children.

  • Only handpicked holiday homes

    Our standards are very high. Over 70% of personally tested properties fail to make it into our selection!
    We make you feel special: To us, you are not a number. We have deliberately decided to stay “small” and boutique, to avoid mass tourism and rather concentrate on excellent customer service.

  • You get your personal assistant

    Who will organize not only your holiday home and desired period, but also arrange for the boat rental, transfer, give you information of where the best restaurant in the city is, where the first hospital is and how to reach an island in combination with specific flight details.

  • You get authentic information

    What we tell you is 100% true. We hate making things look better. If you have small children and you want to make a reservation for a villa that has rocky beach in front of it, we will tell you that it is not ideal for the toddlers.

    You are safe: We are always with you - before your holiday and during your journey and vacation you can reach us on a mobile number 24/7.

Tourist tax is governed by the Croatian tourist tax law amounting between 0.3 € and 1.7  € for an adult per day. Teenagers between 12 and 18 years of age have a 50 % discount while children under 12 years of age do not need to pay tourist tax. The final value id the tourist tax for the reservation depends on the location and season in Croatia and the guest settles it together with the advance payment received from the agent for accommodation unit rental. The guest has no other expenses upon arrival regarding the tourist tax.

10. SECURITY DEPOSIT UPON ARRIVAL AT THE VILLA


In case of villa rental, a security deposit in the amount of 300 € – 500 € is lodged in cash (the amount of the payment varies between villas) and returned to the guest at departure if no damage has been made to the villa its interior and surroundings and if it has been left in a normal and clean state (clean kitchen, garbage disposal) enabling an immediate begin of sanitization and disinfection for the coming guests.

If the guest damages any part of the villa, leaves the villa in an unclean state or has not left the villa on time (as specified in the voucher), the host has the right to deduct the expenses incurred from the security deposit. If the expenses caused by damage exceed the deposit, the guest is obliged to settle the complete damage.

In case of apartment rental the deposit payment is not necessary. The guest is obliged to settle any damage caused at or to the accommodation unit to the owner on the premises.

 

11. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE GUEST


The guest uses accommodation and other services at their own responsibility. The agent carries no responsibility if the guest or their anything belonging to them is damaged or if the guest causes any damage at the accommodation unit. The agent also carries no responsibility for inconvenience caused by power failure, gas supply cut-off, inactive sewage system, water supply and similar consequences of force majeure.

Neither the agent nor the owner can be held responsible for noise or disturbance originating beyond the boundaries of the property or which is beyond their control. In the event that a source of noise has been in existence prior to guest's arrival and agent is informed of this, the agent will contact the guest to inform him of the disturbance.

Agent cannot accept responsibility for events out of our control e.g. bad weather including events arising as a result of very hot or unusual weather, delays caused by carrier companies, breakdown of domestic equipment.

In units with a pool, the pool is used at the guest’s own responsibility and the guest claims full responsibility for their under aged children. The pool at the accommodation units are not enclosed, do not have a lifeguard and tend to be deeper at some parts. The agent also claims no responsibility by the guest’s usage of the unit’s potential beach. The guest is notified that the beaches do not have lifeguards and is therefore fully responsible for their under aged children close to the sea or in it.

With a confirmed and executed reservation the guest expresses consent to cover full costs of any damage done directly to the owner on the premises. Any complaints from the neighbors or the local authorities regarding excessive noise or disturbance during the night hours are a foundation for the owner’s demand for the guest to leave the premises without any refund.

 

12. COMPLAINT SETTLEMENT

The guest is obliged to cooperate with the agent to fasten the removal of the unsuitable service as quickly as possible. If the guest does not accept the proposed solution equaling the paid service, the agent is not obliged to consider any further complaints by the guest.

If the problem is not solved despite the efforts of the agent, the service provider and the guest, the guest must send in a written complaint to the Adriatic Pearls via e-mail to info@adriaperlen.com no later than 30 day after returning from the holiday together with a written confirmation from the owner that the complaint was unsuccessfully handled and with additional photo material to substantiate the claim.

The agent will immediately consider the fully documented complaint where the cause of the complaint was not solved during the vacation and had arrived within 30 days of the day of departure and send a reply within 14 days as stated by the Slovene statutory term. The highest compensation on the grounds of the contract is limited to the amount of the service provided and can as such only be the amount for the part of the service complained about and cannot include the service already used or the complete amount. This also excludes the right of the guest to receive a full refund.

 

13. CONSENSUAL PROBLEM SOLVING


The guest and the agent shall handle all issues by common accord and cooperate according to approved commercial usage and according to the principle of good faith and integrity. In case of unsolvable situations the District Court of Ljubljana is competent for any disputes.
