Terms and Conditions

Personal Data protection :

The French Code of Tourism and Code of country entrance and stay for foreigners have been modified by decree (n°2015-1002 of August 18th, 2015). It is since mandatory for all accommodations including B&Bs to ask foreigners for their full coordinates for potential police requests. So that we ask the reservation contractor to communicate to us personal informations when booking and IDs of all other residents at arrival. Your datas have to be kept for a minimum of 6 months after your stay.
According to the EU law for General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (GDPR), the owner commits to not reveal to any third party (instead the Police, or Courts or French administrations) informations of whatever nature, on whatever media,  brought by the tenant on the occasion of the execution of the reservation. Côté Provence uses your coordinates for its communication towards you and only you. You have the right to ask  for limiting the use of your data or for your data to be erased (after the 6 months period).  This can be done by sending us a simple email at contact@coteprovence.com with acknowledgement of receipt .

The customer arrives the first day of stay in between 16h and 19h (4pm and 7pm), unless the customer has previously and expressly agreed to another schedule with the owner. In case of earlier arrival, the owner can refuse to accept the customer and ask him to come later, unless “Early Check In” service has been booked (for Rooms and Suites only). In case of unexpected late or deferred arrival, the customer has to prevent the owner before 16h (4pm). Without any notice of late or deferred arrival to the owner, the owner will consider it as a no-show and is allowed to re-rent the accommodation after 19h (7pm). Please note that any request for late arrival may also result in additional charges..
The customer commits to return rooms and/or cottages in good condition and to signal to the owner any damage. Rooms and cottages must be vacated by 10:30am on day of departure, unless our Late Check Out offer was booked (with additional costs, for Rooms and Suites only).

A baby under two years of age at the time of your stay is considered … a child. If Babies are our guests (free of charge), they still must be reported. When booking, please right indicate your total number of children. When arriving at payment, check the box “Discount for child under 2yo” if you have one.  Baby cot is available as an option. A child over the age of 12 at the time of stay counts as an adult.
Unfortunately our accommodation is not suitable for people with disabilities. Our rooms are all upstairs and if our guesthouses are full footing, they are not suitable for persons in a wheelchair.   

The reservation is made for a specific number of people, adults and children. If the number of people on arrival exceeds the number of people declared, the owner is able to refuse additional customers. This refusal can in no case be considered as a modification or a termination of the reservation at the initiative of the owner.

Insurances :

We ask our customers to contract a Holiday Insurance for their stay. A Holiday Insurance is often associated with your Primary Home Insurance but you need to ask your insurer. This guarantee extends the protection of the main residence to a temporary home, for a weekend or vacation. 

In times of uncertainty, we encourage you to contract a travel cancellation insurance, and to ensure it covers COVID-19 situations.  Some credit cards also allow you to benefit from a travel insurance that can cover the cancellation, modification and interruption of your trip due to illness or accident.

Use of accommodations and common places :

The tenant can’t in no event of any right  stay in places at the expiration of the period of rent initially contracted, except a new agreement is signed by the tenant and the owner. The customer will have to respect the peaceful character of the house and associated garden and services, and make a usage of the places corresponding to their destination. He commits to become aware of and respect the rules of the Guesthouse.

All goods brought by the customer in the rooms remain under his responsibility. The customer agrees to lock the doors of the room, the B&B entrance door or the Cottages when he leaves. He may be held responsible for any deterioration or theft occurring in his absence while the doors have been left open.

The customer agrees to report to the owner any damage that have occurred during his stay. The owner reserves the right to charge the customer for any damage. Prior to the stay, the client will contract a Holiday Insurance (see Insurances).
The children from 0 to 99 years old are welcome ! The young children must be always accompanied by a relative and remain under their relatives responsibility wherever in the House, the park (please note there is a non secured river border) and the swimming pool (If the entrance to the pool is secured by barriers, the bathing is without surveillance).
Smoking is prohibited inside buildings, whether they are common or private. It is then forbidden to smoke inside the B&B House, your rooms or inside the cottages / Guesthouses. It is also forbidden to smoke in the swimming pool area, the Wellness area and the summer kitchen area. Ashtrays are at disposal outside, near outdoor garden furnitures.
For reasons of hygiene and safety of our hosts, no pet is authorized. If a guest comes with an animal for check in, the owner can refuse the guest. This refusal cannot be considered as a modification or a break of the contract on the initiative of the owner. If a guest introduces an animal without notice during his stay, he will be asked to leave the Guesthouse immediately. The costs corresponding to the total accommodation will remain entirely acquired to the owner.

If our Guest House has secure private parking, your car and its contents remain under your responsibility. If our Guest House has a bicycle cabin, your bicycle and its equipment remain under your responsibility.

Remaining COVID special terms :

Depending on the epidemic situation and the recommendations or rules of the French government, our customers may be asked to respect barrier gestures (wearing a mask, washing hands, etc.) and up to the presentation of a Health Pass showing a complete vaccination against COVID on the date of the stay.
Cleanliness has always been one of our priority. 
For B&B rooms and Suites, we gently ask our customers to respect check out times and to open the room windows to ventilate before leaving. As well as we gently ask our new guests coming to respect Check In times, so that we can correctly clean the rooms.
For the Guesthouses / cottages, we ask not only the Guests to return us the cottages «in a good state of cleanliness» but to do a real cleaning at the end of your stay ; all necessary equipments will be made available. We’ll then do a second full  cleaning. B&B common areas, door handles, stair ramps, etc. will be regularly disinfected. Signs reminding of the barrier gestures to be respected are posted in the House. We will offer you the possibility to wash your hands in different House’s spots.
The customer undertakes not to go to Côté Provence if he has COVID typical symptoms. Note that your body temperature can be tested when checking in. The customer agrees not to go to Côté Provence if he has been tested positive and must follow a period of quarantine or isolation. The customer agrees to not exercise any legal action against Côté Provence in case of Covid contamination detected during or after his stay at Côté Provence.
For our B&B guests, breakfasts will be served outdoor in our Patio as a buffet. We ask for and washing before accessing the buffet. We have enough tables to allow you continue keep your distance if you wish. If the breakfasts are to be done indoor because of weather conditions, we will agree on a schedule so the distances can be respected indoor but with several services. We do offer again Table d’hôtes when it is possible to do it outdoor. For this friendly dinner with meals shared by all customers around the same table, a Vaccination Pass will be asked. The summer kitchen remains in service, but we ask our customers for special care before, during and after use:
  • Mandatory hand washing prior of any use
  • The used dishes must be washed immediately with water and dishwashing liquid. And immediately wiped, then stored. The work surface should be cleaned with a soapy sponge.
  • The used table and chairs should also be cleaned with a soapy sponge.

If these few rules necessary to everyone’s safety are not respected, the summer kitchen will no longer be in service.
