We will not store or process your credit/debit card and payment data, Stripe only allows us to debit your card.

Respect the villa and others: Please note that Villa Balea is situated in a residential area and it is important to me that my neighbours, often retired persons, can enjoy their everyday life without undue disturbance from my guests. The norm is common sense and respect. The rental does not include organising parties with loud music nor external persons.
