“The mere mention of Sardinia draws breathy sighs. Its beauty is legendary; it’s almost impossible to avoid overhearing someone comparing its beaches to those of the Caribbean - the shallows that quite astonishing shade of turquoise, and clear as gin-and-tonic.”

AN ISLAND OF SURPRISES

An Island of Surprises Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean with a land surface of 24,090km2, yet it is still relatively unknown and refreshingly unspoilt. It is very much a land apart from the rest of Italy and unlike the other Italian islands, it stands aloof from the mainland. It takes approximately 4 hours from north to south and 2 hours from east to west if driving on the main roads.

It has a wealth of sightseeing to offer visitors along the stunning coastline or in the rugged interior, Sardinia has it all!

North East & Costa Smeralda In recent years, the once wild and almost deserted north east coast, home of a few fishermen and shepherds, has been transformed into one of the most desirable holiday destinations in the Mediterranean. For the wellheeled sailing fraternity and jet-set, the Costa Smeralda has blossomed into an enchanting playground.

Encouraged by its success, other resorts from Santa Teresa to San Teodoro with Palau, Cannigione and Golfo Aranci in between have developed along the beautiful rugged coastline enhanced by a profusion of Mediterranean macchia among some astonishing rock formations.

The translucent, unpolluted waters sparkle turquoise and away from the Costa Smeralda itself these less expensive but equally beautiful places to visit have a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

‘The Emerald Coast’, a name inspired by the striking colour of the sea, nestles in the north east corner of the island. It was designed and developed by the Aga Khan in the 1960’s, to “preserve and protect this earthly paradise”.

With Porto Cervo at its centre, the Costa Smeralda coastline stretches for 55km, with a harmonisation between Mediterranean architecture, natural landscape and seascape encompassing more than 80 beautiful bays, coves and sandy beaches including Baia Sardinia, Liscia di Vacca, Grande Pevero, Cala di Volpe, Capriccioli and Romazzino.

North West Sardinia’s north west coast features some beautiful seaside resorts interspersed with some really spectacular coastline and dramatic countryside. Travel along the coast to visit some of the island’s most picturesque beaches and inland to its lakes, forests, archaeological sites, Nuraghi and vineyards. This area is packed with interest and a rare mixture of natural beauty spots and historical areas.

Alghero

Central Sardinia

Now a popular holiday resort, Alghero is a charming old Catalan town often referred to as the Coral Riviera, nestled into the north west Sardinian coastline, with wonderful views and sunsets over the bay to the dramatic cliffs at Capo Caccia. The old walled town of Alghero, within the ancient ramparts and lookout towers, has a lively atmosphere with a good selection of shops, café bars and restaurants. It has an interesting history to discover manifested in its well preserved architecture. There is a 5km long white sandy beach stretching from the port and marina to Fertilia and other lovely coves and beaches on the way to Porto Conte.

Central Sardinia features rugged cliffs, tiny coves with clear blue sea and picturesque harbours on the eastern coast, and a mountainous interior with far reaching views from the Gennargentu peaks. There are lakes, waterfalls, gorges, fascinating geology and the native flora and fauna to discover. Barumini has the formidable Su Nuraxi complex and the Giara di Gesturi nearby has more Nuraghi to discover along with herds of semi‑wild ponies. Some of Sardinia’s wildest beaches can be found south of Oristano on the west coast.

For advice & bookings call 01202 484858 or email holidays@justsardinia.co.uk

South Sardinia The south of Sardinia boasts a relatively unspoilt coastline with spectacular beaches and Caribbean‑like turquoise sea. There are some scenic drives along the south east coast with alternating sheer cliffs and long stretches of sandy beaches as well as Roman ruins and impressive sand dunes towards the south west. Cagliari situated centrally on the south coast is the islands capital, steeped in history and offering an array of shops and restaurants.

ABOUT SARDINIA WHY SARDINIA?

Why Sardinia?

Sardinia is not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated Italian island set in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, west of mainland Italy and south of Corsica. With 1,800km of coastline, it is renowned for white sandy beaches, fascinating rock formations and sparkling emerald sea. Yet being the second largest Mediterranean island, it has so much more to offer with an interesting history, a wild mountainous interior, vibrant towns with local traditions and warm and friendly people.

8

Easy access by air

Mediterranean lifestyle

Something for everyone

Sardinia can be reached by just a 2 hour flight from the UK. There are direct flights from UK regional airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Bristol and Manchester (see Travel to Sardinia p142). There are 3 airports in Sardinia: Olbia in the north east, Cagliari in the south and Alghero in the north west. There are also many regular flights from mainland Italy to Sardinia to combine a multi stay with the cities of Rome, Venice and Florence.

Sardinia is an island that allows you to truly experience the very essence of Mediterranean life. The cuisine offers a rich repertoire of dishes, heavily influenced by the country’s various neighbours including Corsica and Italy, accompanied by impressive local wines. The mixing of game and farm produce (traditional with inland towns) and fish and seafood (traditional with coastal towns) result in a combination of flavours that is unique to Sardinia.

Sardinia has something for everyone from the jet set world famous Costa Smeralda, with breathtaking scenery and exclusive hotels, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and azure blue sea.

Wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches, vibrant yet uncommercialised towns and villages, a mountainous interior with wonderful views of the island, refreshing lakes and waterfalls and an interesting history.

Holiday Collection 2016

For example, there are around 7,000 ‘Nuraghi’ (mysterious stone dwellings dating back 3,500 years), throughout the island as a reminder of its prehistoric occupation, as well as numerous examples of Roman architecture.

Climate

Corsica boasts a consistently warm Mediterranean climate reaching a blissful 27°C during the summer months, although it is not uncommon to occasionally climb to an impressive 35°C. Such a pleasant climate makes it possible to swim in the sea until around mid-October, when the water temperature begins to drop from its average peak of 24°C in August.

The islands central mountain range creates numerous microclimates meaning the weather can be very different over short distances.

AN ISLAND OF SURPRISES

An Island of Surprises Covering an area of 8,741km², Corsica is the 4th largest island in the Mediterranean, significantly smaller than the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, with only 36 inhabitants per km², it is one of the least densely populated places in Europe. Although popular with travellers, commercial development is very tightly controlled and it is the traditional architecture that gives the island its character.

La Balagne

North East

L’Extreme Sud

Often referred to as the Garden of Corsica, La Balagne is famous for its fertile soils, coves of golden sand, winding coastline and charming, historic villages.

The region is one of the largest producers of olives, olive oil, almonds and honey on the island, and plays host to numerous, highly-rated vineyards.

With its rich landscapes, hiking trails and the beautiful, clear waters of the north western quarter of the island, La Balagne incorporating Calvi and L’Île Rousse is the perfect place to experience some authentic Corsican charm.

This finger of land points northwards into the Tyrrhenian Sea, with St Florent and Bastia at its western and eastern bases. Being only 14.5km across at its widest part and 37km long, yet having ten mountain peaks over 1,000m, this is one of the most rugged parts of the island falling steeply into the sea on both sides and, having little more than a handful of small fishing villages including Erbalunga, is very sparsely populated.

Covering south east Corsica from Solenzara along the spine of the Alta Rocca mountains, the Extreme South of Corsica encompasses many renowned towns such as Bonifacio and Porto Vecchio, beautiful beaches, turquoise seas, verdant countryside, vast forests and rugged mountains, all interspersed with typical Corsican villages.

It does, however, boast of number of impressive beaches including the famous black sands of Nonza and also provides excellent opportunities for walkers to discover some impressive countryside. There is a picturesque 100km drive around the perimeter of Cap Corse from St Florent to Bastia with views from the top of the Col de Teghime over to the islands of Elba, Monte Cristo, Capraia and on a clear day to Tuscany.

70

Holiday Collection 2016

This part of the south of Corsica has a rich history and a reputation for being one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean.

Valinco & the West Coast By far the most rugged part of Corsica’s western coastline is the 200km stretch from the Revellata peninsula west of Calvi, down to Ajaccio. Towns and villages including Galéria, Girolata and Piana remain relatively quiet due to their restricted accessibility when compared to many other settlements of the island.

In contrast, further south, Ajaccio Bay, stretching from Parata to Monte Bianco and La Valinco, running from Monte Bianco to Campomoro have more populated settlements including Ajaccio itself, Porticcio, Propriano and smaller villages such as Portigliolo, Porto Pollo and Belvedère-Campomoro.

There are many beautiful, sandy beaches interspersed with dramatic sea cliffs and a clear, turquoise sea providing stunning scenery.

AN ISLAND OF SURPRISES

An Island of Surprises Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean (25,700km2) divided into nine provinces. Each province is directly linked to the coast, aside from Enna (central Sicily), allowing travellers to freely swap the vibrancy of the cities for an idyllic bay view.

North Sicily

East Sicily

South Sicily

With its idyllic coastal towns, surrounding wall of mountains and picturesque beaches, it is unsurprising that tourists flock to northern Sicily throughout the year.

Home to Palermo, Sicily’s capital as well as some of the island’s most popular and alluring towns, such as Cefalù and Geraci Siculo, considered to be one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. Northern Sicily is bursting with charm, character and history.

With the gateway city of Catania, the fertile eastern slopes of Mount Etna with pretty hillside towns, vineyards, citrus groves and rocky coastlines, the east of Sicily boasts dramatic views across the Ionian Sea to Calabria on mainland Italy.

Southern Sicily is one of the more untouched, authentic regions of the island with olive and almond groves scattered across the countryside and stunning architectural monuments standing as testament to the island’s diverse history. With great places of interest to visit such as the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Southern Sicily is not to be missed!

Central Sicily

South East Sicily

North East Sicily Not only is north east Sicily home to Mount Etna, it also encompasses some of the most beautiful, popular towns on the island as well as a number of picturesque beaches. With its winding medieval streets, historic attractions and stunning backdrop, Taormina is arguably the most enchanting town on the island, honoured for inspiring the works of a several great icons such as Oscar Wilde and D.H. Lawrence.

Holiday Collection 2016

Surviving centuries of civil war, foreign invasion and natural disasters, the south east of Sicily allures visitors from all over the world to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Syracuse and Val di Noto. Sicilian Baroque architecture and many historic towns situated amongst the rugged Iblei mountains make up this interesting area of the island along with a picturesque coastline and nature reserves.

With just a handful of towns and Enna at its centre, the vast interior that makes up central Sicily is mostly deplete of tourism with just miles of cornfields and rolling hills yet a picture of rural life on the island. With its Roman, Arab and Norman influences, there are a number of places of historic interest including Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily’s finest Roman site.

West Sicily Different from the rest of the island, the west of Sicily has always been off the beaten track. Historically there were Phoenician and Arab invaders who influenced the architecture and food which can still be seen and tasted today.

Climate Sicily boasts an all year round warm climate, hot and dry from May to October with cooler temperatures up in the mountains. Whilst the Sirocco (from the Sahara to the south) and mistral (from the north west) winds can blow during the summer months, the island generally maintains a pleasant climate which promotes the growth of olives, almonds, citrus fruits and wine grapes.

Winters are generally mild on the coast but it can still snow on Mount Etna! There is a longer warm weather season than other parts of Italy with spring starting early, the ground carpeted with wild flowers as early as February.

The warm weather means that it is an all year round destination and visitors can sunbathe and swim as late as November.

Tri-Island Grand Tour Why not combine the beautiful Mediterranean islands of Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily into one holiday?

Sardinia is approximately 220 miles from Sicily (Trapani to Cagliari) and can be reached by a short flight or longer ferry crossing. Corsica is 8 miles north of Sardinia accessed by a 50 minute ferry journey from Santa Teresa on the northern tip of Sardinia to Bonifacio in southern Corsica.

This is a great opportunity to visit 3 equally beautiful and relatively unspoilt islands, all of which have rugged mountains, stunning scenery and a selection of beautiful beaches and bays.

This is just one suggested itinerary but we can tailor make tours to suit all tastes, budgets and durations.

Travel to Santa Teresa port (66km) and take the ferry to Bonifacio in Corsica. Pick up a hire car and drive to Porto Vecchio (29km) on the south east coast of Corsica for 4 nights BB at the 4 star Hotel Mariosa (p93), a contemporary hotel with swimming pool, set in lovely gardens leading down to the beach front.

Sardinia - Day 6: Fly with Meridiana from Catania to Olbia in the north east of Sardinia for 5 nights BB at the 4 star Hotel Gabbiano Azzurro (p35), a great family run hotel with a stunning beach location, friendly service, excellent restaurant, and panoramic views and sunsets.

We take every reasonable precaution to ensure that all details in this brochure are accurate at the time of writing in 2015.

However on occasion errors do occur but we will do our best to inform you by way of brochure insert ‘amendments’ or, if a major change, we will inform you if it directly effects your booking (see Terms & Conditions p149). We cannot be held accountable for alterations made to the accommodation after the brochure goes to print so please check with our Reservations Team before finalising your booking.

When staying in certain regions of Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily there is a local tourist tax which guests are required to pay on check out of the hotel. The cost of this tax can vary depending on region and accommodation star rating and is calculated on a per person per night basis. Where we have been informed of these taxes we have stated the costs in the brochure however these can be introduced at any time and we will endeavour to inform you should this occur.

Hotel Facilities Some advertised hotel facilities might not be available or fully operational in the early or late part of the season, depending on the number of guests at the hotel or weather conditions (e.g. A/C may not be turned on in low season and additional restaurants and swimming pools may not be in use).

We want everyone to enjoy completely successful travel arrangements.

We therefore strongly recommend that you complete the ABTA Disability Checklist before making a booking if you have a disability or a medical condition requiring special travel, accommodation or dietary arrangements.

The form should also be used to give information regarding specific needs for equipment and/or medication you may have. It can be completed by you or your travel agent.

It all helps to ensure you receive a quality service tailored to your particular needs. For more information and to complete a checklist please call or email our Reservations Team.

www.justcorsica.co.uk/xx www.justsicily.co.uk/xx Where xx = quick link ref number.

Swimming Pools Unless otherwise stated swimming pools are not heated. Hotel swimming pools normally have a lifeguard and may be closed during lunch time and in the evenings and you may be asked to refrain from using the pool during these hours.

Special Requests

Children’s Clubs

If you have a specific request for your holiday, we will do our best to honour this. However, a request is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at the time of arrival.

It is not uncommon to find that Children’s Clubs can be predominantly Italian or French speaking however you should find that most key staff do speak English. In general, there may be limited activities on a Saturday or Sunday.

Hotel Grading All accommodation is graded under the local Italian or French system, which differs from that of the UK. Hotels can vary within the same star rating as they do in the UK (please ask our Reservation Team for more details).

Televisions Where a property states that is has Satellite TV this will be Italian or French programming with limited English channels available for example BBC News or CNN only.

Travel Insurance We strongly advise that you and all the members of your travelling party are adequately insured with travel and medical cover as soon as you book your holiday. Policies can be organised with Holiday Extras, please visit any of our websites for a quote.

We also strongly recommend that you have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for reduced cost medical treatment in Europe which can be obtained via the Post Office in the UK or at www.ehic.org.uk

USEFUL INFORMATION

Ticket Wallet This will be sent to you by post or email 2/3 weeks prior to your departure.

Please ensure that you take your Ticket Wallet with you on holiday as it contains your essential holiday vouchers. We will also send to you by email (or by post on request) some useful information on the following: travelling to your destination, directions, your Resort Representative, emergency contact mobile telephone number, your accommodation/resort and the local area.

Please check all your documents in the wallet and your emails from us to ensure that your vouchers, names, dates and times are all correct and if not telephone us immediately on 01202 703505.

Guide Book & Local Information Given to you in your ticket wallet, with our compliments, is a Guide Book that covers places of interest all over your chosen island, general information about it’s history, culture, festivals, activities and a small pull out map.

We will also email you our own travel, accommodation and local information that we have compiled to help you find your way around the resort and local area with personal recommendations for restaurants, activities, excursions or worth while days out either on foot, by car or by boat. Please take the time to read this for your own benefit.

Sat Nav / GPS If you own a sat nav which covers Europe we would recommend taking this on holiday with you (rental’s through car hire companies can be costly with limited availability) for ease of exploring of the island. In Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily there are no postcode systems like in the

UK and as part of your driving directions we will send you your accommodation’s Latitude and Longitude which can be inserted into your sat nav.

Hiring a Car When collecting your car the principal driver will be asked for a deposit of approximately €1000-€2000 depending on car category and additional optional insurance. This can ONLY be held with an imprint of a major credit card (NOT debit card) locally upon arrival and will be used in case of accidents, damage or to replace fuel.

From 08/06/15 the DVLA have abolished the paper counterpart of the UK photocard driving licence and all information relating to fines and penalty points is only available online from the DVLA. Our car hire supplier has confirmed that the photocard driving licence is sufficient to hire a car and no further information will be required from the DVLA.

Health & Safety Your wellbeing whilst on holiday is of prime importance to us and we will do our best to ensure your holiday is safe and trouble free by working with our accommodation and service providers.

It is, however, important to remember that standards abroad are not always the same as those we would expect at home and so we do ask you to take care while you are away. We strongly urge you to follow the safety guidelines detailed in our documentation plus any extra information afforded by individual service providers.

Emergency Number You will receive our emergency telephone number for your use in resort in case of need. We also detail in our travel information (either in your ticket wallet or emailed to you) emergency numbers for police, fire, ambulance and road assistance.

Complaints In the unlikely event of dissatisfaction with an element of your holiday, we would stress to you to let your Rep or accommodation reception know about it so that we can rectify the situation as soon as possible. It is much better to solve any issues during your holiday than to wait until you return home.

(Please see Terms & Conditions p150 for complaints procedure.)

Money Exchange & Cashpoints (Bancomats) The currency used in Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily is euros (€). Banks are generally open 8.30am-1.30pm and 2.30pm3.30pm Monday to Friday. There are bancomat/cashpoint machines available outside some banks, which can be used with your UK cashpoint card and usual pin number with instructions available in English.

Self Catering Accommodation Welcome Packs - provided in the majority of our villa accommodation, which includes a few necessities for your arrival. Please check with our Reservations Team for each individual villa.

Security Deposits – The majority of self catering properties ask for a security deposit on arrival to cover any damages and additional cleaning costs.

Payments can either be held on a credit/ debit card or taken in cash.

Supermarkets - are found in all towns and are open generally 9am-1pm and 4pm-8pm Monday to Saturday.

Large towns also have a weekly market offering locally grown and produced fruit, vegetables, cheese and meats - please ask your Rep for days and times.

Villas & Apartments - have a minimum of a fridge, hob, sink, storage, crockery and utensils but some will not have kettles, toasters, microwaves or ovens (please ask our Reservations Team for details).

Cleaning & Linen - changed generally weekly. If you require further cleaning or linen and towels, this can be arranged for an extra charge.

Please discuss this and book with our Reservations Team before your holiday if required.

Cala di Falco & Torreruja Villas in Sardinia - for 1 week holidays the villas will have been cleaned and made up for your arrival, towels will be replaced mid week (normally Wednesday) and a final clean will be done on your departure.

Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything that you booked (flights, packages, hotels and other services) is listed on it.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions Who We Are Just Sardinia, Just Corsica and Just Sicily are all trading names of Hargreaves & Nurse Ltd. Registration Number: 4080294 (and VAT registered number 760 536 139).

Registered Office: Princecroft Willis, Towngate House, 2-8 Parkstone Road, Poole, Dorset, BH15 2PW. What We Sell PACKAGE HOLIDAYS A “package holiday” is a combination of at least two elements which may include accommodation, ground transportation i.e. a hire car or transfer, flights or other resort services which form a significant part of your holiday and booked through us at an inclusive price. These holidays are protected under the Package Tours Regulations.

These regulations require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from this brochure or website (see Your Financial Protection).

ACCOMMODATION ONLY An “accommodation only” booking is a single element of accommodation booked through us.

If you book accommodation through us, we will accept responsibility for your booking in accordance with the terms set out in the relevant sections below. As this is a single component, the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations do not apply. However Hargreaves & Nurse Ltd will protect your money under our ABTA bond (see Your Financial Protection).

Your Financial Protection The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from the website & brochure. We provide this security by way of an ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) for holidays that include a flight in the package (ATOL number 10217) administered by the Civil Aviation Authority and a bond held by ABTA for holidays that do not include flights in the package (ABTA number W6775).

ATOL Hargreaves & Nurse Ltd provide full financial protection for our “package holidays”.

For flight based holidays this is through our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 10217.

For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of our air holiday packages includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.

You must take this certificate with you when you travel. (This can be as a PDF on your mobile device.)

We will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative).

In some cases, where we aren’t able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder.

However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

ABTA We are a Member of ABTA, membership number W6775. When you buy a package holiday that doesn’t include a flight, i.e. accommodation, car hire or transfer you are protected by way of a bond held by ABTA and provided by T&G Managing Agents of IICH Ltd. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

Your Contract Your contract is made on the terms of these conditions, which are governed by English Law and the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

You may, however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. When you make a booking you guarantee that you are over 18 years and have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions.

A contract will exist as soon as you or your travel agent call, email, book online, live chat or fax our sales office to make a booking, and we reserve all the elements of your holiday and confirm the booking to you (verbally, in person, on the telephone, online or in writing). A booking reference number will be given to you at this time. By asking us to confirm your holiday booking you are accepting the terms of this agreement and consent to us processing personal information about you and other members of your party (see Data Protection).

Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions. You will be required to pay a deposit of £120 for each person (including infants) when you book. Please note your booking deposit maybe increased or there may be a charge payable for some accommodation or flight bookings where it is necessary to secure specific facilities with full payment at time of booking e.g. specific types of airline tickets.

The balance must be paid at least 8 weeks before departure otherwise the booking may be cancelled by us and you will be liable for cancellation charges as stated below. On receipt of our confirmation invoice, it is important that you check all details are correct, including the spelling of all names, and if they are not correct you must contact your travel agent or us immediately. Any changes must be brought to our attention before your ticket wallet is issued (usually 2/3 weeks before departure) or you will be liable for any costs incurred for the re-issuing of tickets and travel documents.

Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us.

We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.

Your Holiday Price Prices included in the brochure and website are in UK pounds and were calculated using an exchange rate of 1.36 Euros to £1 on the 22nd October 2015 however, we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time.

We will be able to tell you the up to date price of your holiday and of any other services advertised in this brochure and website before your contract is confirmed at the time of booking. Changes in, transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges.

You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel: 1) you must do so within 14 days from the date on your final invoice 2) We will provide a refund of insurance premiums paid to us if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

When you buy a flight based holiday through a travel agent, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by them, is and continues to be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. When you buy a holiday not including a flight, all monies you pay to the travel agent are held by them on our behalf at all times. Please note that all prices quoted on our website include early booking offers, supplements and reductions.

If We Change or Cancel Your Holiday PACKAGE HOLIDAYS It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to

make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date. We also reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your travel arrangements, for example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it. However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 8 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If we are unable to provide the booked travel arrangements, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available.

(We will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value.) If it is necessary to cancel your travel arrangements, we will pay to you compensation as set out in this clause.

Please note that carriers such as airlines used in the brochure may be subject to change and such a change is deemed to be a minor change.

Other examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes of aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard.

MAJOR CHANGES We consider a major change as one involving a change or substitution of accommodation to a lower grade than stated in our website or brochure (whether star rating or our own vine rating), a change of UK departure airport (except between London airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, City Airport, Luton, Stansted and Southend), a change in the time of your departure or return flight by more than 12 hours (but not a flight delay as this is covered under insurance). These changes are only examples and there may be other significant changes which constitute major changes.

Period before Compensation departure when payable a major change per passenger is notified More than 56 days NIL 55‑29 days £10 28‑7 days £15 Less than 7 days £25 Child Pro‑rata This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights.

The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so.

IMPORTANT NOTE-EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL Force Majeure: We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics and unavoidable technical problems with transport.

ACCOMMODATION ONLY We reserve the right to change or cancel your booking. Subject to the note below, if we make a change and you don’t want to accept it, you can take any alternative accommodation we are able to offer you (you will pay the increase in cost if the replacement is advertised at a higher price than your original booking, or receive

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions... a refund of the difference if it is less expensive) or a refund of the money you have paid to us. This does not apply where the change is not material. Examples of non-material changes include, but are not limited to, temporary withdrawal of facilities or seasonal unavailability of amenities. Subject to the note below, if we have to cancel, again we may be able to offer you an alternative. If you accept it, you would pay the difference if it was advertised at a higher price than your original accommodation, or receive a refund of the difference if it was advertised at a lower price.

Or we will refund the monies you have paid us for your accommodation. We will not be responsible to pay any compensation following a change or a cancellation by us.

Any amendment or cancellation fees you incur in terms of other arrangements you have made with other providers under separate contracts are not claimable from us.

Important Note Force Majeure: If a change or cancellation occurs because of circumstances beyond our control, for example war, riot, industrial dispute, actual or threatened terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, flood, epidemic or pandemic illness and all similar situations we will have no liability to you.

No compensation, costs, expenses or any other sums, including the cost of securing alternative accommodation will be paid by us.

If You Wish To Change Your Booking If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25, and any further cost we incur in making this alteration.

You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Note: Certain travel arrangements (e.g. flight tickets) may not be changeable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. If all names change on any booking, then cancellation charges will apply. Any alterations made within 8 weeks of departure may be treated as cancellations and re-bookings.

Please note: Once you have booked your own flight, a change of name and/or departure details are not always permitted by airlines.

Please refer to your chosen flight carrier T&C’s.

If You Wish To Cancel Your Booking You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time.

Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as follows: No. of days before departure Over 56 55‑29 28‑22 21‑8 7‑0

If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.

Complaints If something is not satisfactory during your holiday, you must report it to our Resort Representative and the relevant supplier, who will do everything they can to resolve the problem as soon as possible. We would prefer to solve the problem locally. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. If the matter cannot be resolved while you are on holiday, please write to us within 28 days of your return to allow the matter to be investigated properly.

If a complaint cannot be settled between us you may, if you wish, refer the matter to arbitration.

We offer ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure.

Further information on ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

Our Liability To You Package Holidays If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements.

However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: You; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of twice the invoice total. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: a) The contractual terms of the companies that provides the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage.

We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.

Accommodation Only We have a duty to select the accommodation providers with reasonable skill and care.

We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the accommodation, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused.

Therefore, providing we have selected the provider with reasonable care and skill, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens at the accommodation or any acts or omissions of the provider or others. We also have no liability in the following situations: i.

Prompt Assistance In Resort If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

Anti-Social Behaviour When you book accommodation through us, you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of all members of your party during your stay. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the stay of any party member(s) whose behaviour is such, in the reasonable opinion of the accommodation provider or us, as to cause or to be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to anyone else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges will then apply and no refund will be given.

Furthermore, we shall be under no obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodation) you may incur as a result of your stay being terminated.

You must also indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the accommodation provider or any third party as a result. This will also apply if, in the opinion of the transport carrier, you appear unfit to travel or are likely to cause disturbance or danger to other passengers.

Health & Safety Your wellbeing whilst on holiday is of prime importance to us and we will do our best to ensure your holiday is safe and trouble free by working with our service providers to improve standards.

We strongly urge you to follow the safety guidelines detailed in our documentation plus any extra information afforded by individual service providers. All properties we offer receive a regular inspection as well as on going reviews throughout the season.

Fire safety: Always familiarise yourself with the fire exit routes and fire safety equipment on arrival at your accommodation.

Personal safety: Use common sense and take the same care for your safety and belongings as you would do at home. Most resorts are generally safe but you are advised not to walk alone at night in unlit areas or obviously display valuables. We recommend the use of safety deposit facilities at your accommodation (there may be a small charge for this).

Please take notice of advice given by our Representatives about local conditions.

For Guidance and Information: Please check with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office email: TravelAdvicePublicEnquiries@fco.gov.uk or visit their website: www.gov.uk/browse/abroad Inoculations: At the time of the website going live and the brochure going to print, there are no recommended inoculations for visiting Italy or France.
