General Information



Booking

How can I check availability?
You can check the availability of our accommodations on the Home Page of our website www.casevacanzepomelia.it: enter the dates of your stay, the number of people and the type of accommodation. Then click on “Flats Search” and you will visualize a page with all available accommodations. You can also use the “Advanced Search” to filter the results on the basis of the selected characteristics. For more information, fill free to contact our booking office, by sending a request to info@casevacanzepomelia.it, by calling our office +39 0932 1855503 or our mobile +39 329 5959548.

What does “minimum stay” mean?
“Minimum stay” is the minimum length of stay that we require.

What is the minimum stay requested?
The minimum stay varies on the basis of the type of accommodation and the period. The bookings are weekly but in low and medium season it is possible to book for 2/3 days. We do not accept bookings for 1 day only.

What do “check-in” and “check-out” mean?
The “check-in” is when you arrive at the accommodation, while the “check-out” is when you leave.

What should I do if, after entering the research parameters on the website, the message “In the required period you can reserve this accommodation only from SATURDAY to SATURDAY/SUNDAY to SUNDAY” or “The minimum stay in this period is 2 nights” appears?
If you see one of these messages after entering the research parameters and clicking on “BOOK NOW” for your chosen accommodation, you should then change the dates on the research panel, because those inserted do not match our minimum stay criteria.

How can I make a reservation?

How can I pay the deposit?

When do I have to pay the balance?
Upon arrival and after seeing the property you will be asked to sign the terms and conditions and state that you are fully satisfied with the property. The final balance is due at this stage.

If I decide to cancel my reservation, do I have a right to ask for my deposit to be refund?
You can withdraw from the contract up to 30 days before the expected arrival date, by a written communication that you have to send us within the above-mentioned term. In this case, we will refund you the deposit amount, within seven working days from the withdrawal’s communication.

What about if, after booking an accommodation, I should fail to show up at the check-in?

Will I be requested to pay a security deposit upon my arrival?
Upon your arrival after the check-in, you will be asked to provide the data of your valid credit card as a guarantee of the conditions of the accommodation.

Which airports are connected to the province of Ragusa?
See the page Sicily Airports on our website to find more information about flights and connections.

Do I need a car for my holiday in the province of Ragusa?
The province of Ragusa is not well connected by public transport, so we advise you to have always a vehicle on your own. Some of our accommodations are in the city centre, so you can move on foot. On the contrary, other accommodations are isolated, so you need the car to move. Please, check this information in the description page of your accommodation: look at the section “Features” on the left side of the page and check the entry “Car” showing whether the car is “Needed” or “Not needed”.

How can I rent a car?
We cooperate with some car rental companies and organize transfers on request, so you can contact us if you need. However, we strongly advise you to hire your car at the airport where you land, in order to move easily. In Ragusa there are not many car rental companies.

Which are the most important tourist places?
We are in southeastern Sicily in the province of Ragusa, part of the Val di Noto. The Val di Noto is the heart of Baroque declared world heritage site by Unesco. We are in a perfect location for visiting many beautiful towns. From Marina di Ragusa it is very easy to visit Ragusa Ibla (25 Km), Scicli (12 km), (30 km), Noto (70 km) and all the settings used in "Inspector Montalbano" (a television series based on Andrea Camilleri’s novels). The Mount Etna (135 km), the impressive Valle dei Templi in Agrigento (139 km), the beautiful Siracusa (106 km) and the picturesque Taormina (182 Km) with its famous Greek theatre are also easily reachable and they are perfect locations for a day trip out. The port of Pozzallo (32 km) is also very close and you can take a boat to Malta from there. For more information, see the page The province of Ragusa.
