Response from the owner
We apologize for the inconvenience for the cancellation for this reservation. We communicated clearly and in time that the central heating of the Villa had a problem. We didn't want to take the risk that house could probably not offer our guests a comfortable temperature. Unfortunately our guest did not read our direct announcement to them and had the impression that we did cancel without any reason. The client did write us later, afte making the comment, that she did read our communication. We felt obliged to cancel the reservation in time in order to follow our obligation to exercise diligence. We hope that the refund of the payment by trip advisor was correct. TripAdvisor is collecting the money form our guests and we hope the TripAdvisor did refund the paid money correctly. For this cancellatione we were obliged to pay TripAdvisor 100 GBP as penalty. Thank you for understanding. We hope to receive you at Vedi Torre by an other occasion and will treat you of course in compensation of our bad experience well. Christoph, owner
