WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF YOUR BOOKING
**1/ Bed linen and towels**
The bed linen and towels are not included in your booking. You have the choice:
- Either you bring your own bed linen and towels
- Or you can rent those with us: 11 € per single sheet kit ; 14 € per double sheet kit ; 5 € for a large towel ; 8 € for a towel kit (one large and two small towels).
**2/ End-of-stay cleaning**
The end-of-stay cleaning is not included in your booking because we give you the choice:
- Either you take care of the cleaning by yourself, and you must then return the apartment in the same condition as you found it.
- Or you can subscribe, after your booking, to the end-of-stay cleaning option for 60€. Then you will just have to clean the kitchen area, take the trash out, put away all the dishes, empty the dishwasher and put back the pillows and blankets nicely folded where you found them.
**3/ Early arrival before 5 pm and late departure after 10 am**
The check-in is from 5 pm and the check-out must be done before 10 am, at the latest.
If you would like to stay longer, it is normally possible (if availability), but it is extra. Because those extensions of stay result sometimes in significant cost for us as the cleaning team cannot then clean all the apartments of the same residence at the same time. Here are the prices:
- Arrival at 3 pm : 40€ ; Arrival at 1 pm : 60€ ; Arrival at 11 am : 80€
- Departure at 12pm: 40€ ; Departure at 2 pm: 60€ ; Departure at 4 pm: 80€

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
**1/ Deposit of 300€ to be secured BEFORE your arrival**
A deposit of 300€ must be secured by credit card before your arrival. The operation is carried out via the online deposit service Swikly, leader on the market.
The procedure is fast and simple: you will receive an email with a link to follow, 7 days before your arrival.
The amount of €300 is not debited from your card, nor even blocked. This is a simple check that you have this amount in your bank account. Your bank limit is therefore not impacted. You are also better protected: Swikly manages your deposit and any debit, if it were to take place, must be justified on our part with photos, invoices, etc.
There is a service charge of €6.78 supported by our guests, for whom Swikly is much preferable to a deposit in cash, or even taken on a credit card. Please note that we also pay fees to Swikly on our side.
There is no other way to secure the deposit: neither cash, nor check, nor bank transfer, because it is the securing of your deposit on Swikly that will automatically generate the code to get your keys. It is very efficient, you will see :)
**2/ Check-in and check-out inventory**
To facilitate your arrival and departure, the check-in and check-out inventory is done by yourself, by means of pictures and comments. The procedure, which will be explained to you later, is done via Swikly, for more transparency and fairness between the parties. It is simple and easy to use, you will see.
**3/ Parking spaces**
The residence does not have a private parking lot, but there are numerous free parking places very close to the residence. And a covered paid parking at the center of the resort. In high season, it can be a bit tough to find a parking spot.
**4/ No breakfast available**
We rent apartments, we are not a hotel.
**5/ No cots available**
You will need to bring your own, or find an alternative. Please note that the accommodations are not supposed to host an extra bed. The space can be very limited, especially if you stay with many people in the apartment.
**6/ Pets allowed**
Pets are allowed, free of charge. However, they remain under the responsibility of their master.
**7/ Large groups**
Do not hesitate to contact us ! It is indeed possible to combine this apartment with one or more other apartments located in the same residence.
----------
OFF SEASON
Our apartments are available 365 days a year, even when the resort is closed. We welcome nature lovers and workers in all seasons.
**Outside the winter and summer seasons, the residence's swimming pool and sauna are closed**.
Off season, shops and restaurants are also all closed. Just do your shopping in the valley before going up to Risoul and you will be independent.
It is best to contact the Risoul tourist office for exact information on possible activities, available services, etc.
