Terms & Conditions

LV Premier Apartments is an independent provider of quality Holiday/Vacation homes.

LV Premier Apartments/ Villas is an independent provider of quality Holiday/Vacation Rentals. By booking a LV Premier property you are agreeing to the following:

TERMS & CONDITIONS

  1. Contract – you are entering a contract for a short-term rental, for the period agreed. The property can only be occupied during this period, at the end of which you will vacate the premises and return the keys. No commercial activities/filming/parties are to take place without LV Premier ’s permission.
  2. Habitability – If property is rendered inhabitable after your arrival, LV Premier will make best efforts to find you a similar accommodation. If that is not possible, we will refund the cost of the days that you were not able to occupy the property. If the apartment is inhabitable prior to your arrival, we will assist you in booking alternative properties. We will be liable for the amounts that you actually paid us.
  3. Security deposit– LV Premier requires a security deposit for all rentals, to be used in the event of damages, smoking or disturbances. If there is damage and it exceeds the deposit, we will pursue all legal means to recover damages. Theft will be reported to the authorities of Portugal and your home country.  The cost of your stay DOES NOT include the deposit.  The deposit shall not be applied to payment of optional services.  AirBnb/ Plum and Tripadvisor manage the security deposit for their reservations.   For all other reservations, the Damages/ Security deposit is paid by you via the personalized booking page/app- and takes the form of a pre-authorization which expires 7 days after the transaction date.   If your departure date is 6 days or less from the transaction date, we may cancel the pre-authorization after verification of the apartment or let it expire.  Cancellation of preauthorization or expiration- will not result in a charge to your card nor a refund (i.e. you will not see it in your credit card statement).  If your departure is more than 6 days after you pay the damages deposit, we will convert the pre-authorization into a normal charge. In this case, it will be refunded after verification and completion of the cleaning of the property upon your departure. It may take up to 7 days to be credited to your account depending on the bank/card. In this case you will see a charge and then a refund.  If the damages deposit is pre- authorized via a physical terminal on arrival, the refund may take up to 3-4 weeks depending on your card and country of issuance.
  4. Tourist tax– is not included in the cost of stay. Lisbon, Porto and other municipalities require that all lodging establishments collect a tourist tax from travelers on their behalf. This should be paid in cash
  5. Cancellation policy – Bookings via third parties – Site cancellation policy applies before LV Premier. Non-refundable rates- there is no refund in the event of a cancellation.  For other rates, and apartment has 3 bedrooms or less, a full refund will be made  for cancellations up to 5 days prior to arrival; if apartment is larger, a full refund will be done for cancellations up to 14 days prior to arrival.
