Terms & Conditions

1. General information
These Terms & Conditions apply to bookings and stays at Villa Diona, operated by IGER, inženirske, gradbene in energetske rešitve, Matej Mali s.p. The accommodation is located at Babna Gora 7a, 3223 Loka pri Žusmu, Slovenia. By making a booking or staying at the property, the guest confirms that they have read and accepted these terms.

2. Booking and reservation
Reservations are made through the website or by direct contact. A booking becomes valid once it has been confirmed by Villa Diona and payment has been received. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a booking if the information provided is incomplete or inaccurate, or if the accommodation is unavailable.

3. Prices and payment
Prices are shown in euros on the website and are for the whole villa. The private spa is included in the price and is free for our guests. For bookings made on the website, the full amount is paid online at the time of booking (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, processed securely by Stripe).

4. Check-in and check-out
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Guests must respect these times so the villa can be prepared properly for the next stay. Early check-in or late check-out is possible only if agreed with us in advance.

5. Guest responsibilities
Guests are expected to use the property with care, follow the house rules and respect the quiet enjoyment of neighbours. Any damage, missing items or extra cleaning caused by the guest may be charged to the guest. The guest is also responsible for the behaviour of all persons included in the reservation.

6. House rules
Smoking, pets, parties and other special conditions are allowed only if explicitly approved by Villa Diona. Guests must comply with the rules communicated before or during their stay. If the guest seriously violates the rules, Villa Diona may terminate the stay without refund, where legally permitted.

7. Cancellations and changes
Cancellation requests must be sent by email to info@villadiona.com. The date we receive your email counts.

  • Up to 14 days before arrival: free cancellation, full refund.
  • 13 to 7 days before arrival: 50% refund.
  • Less than 7 days before arrival, or no-show: no refund.

Changing your dates is free up to 14 days before arrival, subject to availability; any price difference is charged or refunded. Leaving earlier than booked does not entitle the guest to a refund. Refunds are made to the original payment method within 14 days. If we have to cancel your booking, you receive a full refund. The statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts does not apply to accommodation booked for specific dates.

8. Liability
Villa Diona is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to guests’ personal belongings unless liability is required by mandatory law. Guests are responsible for their own health, safety and travel arrangements while staying at the property.
