This trip is a flat-rate, full-property buyout. Unlike many group tours, there is no minimum-traveler threshold that triggers a surcharge or cancellation from the property's side — the lease cost is fixed regardless of final headcount.

Client acknowledges and agrees that this trip is a fully bespoke, custom-curated travel experience designed and assembled specifically for this single group of travelers. It is not a packaged tour, escorted coach tour, or product offered or resold by any other company, and it will not be repeated or replicated in this form.

Company has secured exclusive, full-property buyout rights to Masseria Petrarolo for the dates above through a direct, largely non-cancellable contractual commitment with the property's booking company, and has committed non-recoverable funds toward private transportation, private guides, and other exclusive arrangements on Client's behalf well in advance of departure.

The bespoke, non-resalable, and non-substitutable nature of this trip is the basis for the payment and cancellation terms set forth below, which Client acknowledges and accepts as a condition of booking.

  1. Deposit. A deposit of $1,011 per person is due at the time of booking and is non-refundable under any circumstance.
  2. Payment Plans. Client may select one of the following:
    1. Option A: Deposit plus equal monthly installments through the Final Payment Date of June 2, 2027.
    2. Option B: Deposit of $1,011 at booking, $2,222 due October 2, 2026, and the remaining balance due on the Final Payment Date.
  3. Final Payment Date. June 2, 2027. Full and final payment is due by this date regardless of Client's chosen payment plan.
  4. ALL PAYMENTS NON-REFUNDABLE. Client acknowledges and agrees that all amounts paid toward this trip — including the deposit, all installment payments, and the final balance — are non-refundable for any reason, including but not limited to voluntary cancellation, illness, injury, family emergency, work conflict, change of plans, fear of travel, or dissatisfaction with any aspect of the trip prior to departure. Client's sole means of recovering funds if Client is unable to travel is a successful claim under a travel insurance policy covering the specific reason for cancellation.
  5. Why this is simpler than a staged penalty schedule. The property's own lease terms with Company become fully non-refundable to Company well before this trip's Final Payment Date. Rather than offering Client a graduated refund schedule Company could not itself recover from the property, Client's payments are treated as non-refundable from the time each payment is made — full stop. This is intentionally stricter, and intentionally simpler to communicate, than a tiered schedule.
  6. Add-Ons Separately Priced. The Matera Encore extension is separately priced, and optional add-ons are subject to the same non-refundable payment terms described above.
Important Travel insurance is REQUIRED for participation in this trip, not merely recommended. Declining insurance is not an available option for this trip. This provision supersedes and replaces Section 17 of the General Agreement for purposes of this trip specifically.
  1. Requirement. Travel insurance is REQUIRED for participation in this trip, not merely recommended. This provision supersedes and replaces Section 17 of the General Agreement for purposes of this trip specifically; declining insurance is not an available option for this trip.
  2. Proof of Coverage. Client must provide either (a) proof of purchase of a travel insurance policy through Company's recommended provider, or (b) written proof of equivalent coverage obtained independently, no later than June 2, 2027.
  3. Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR). Client is strongly encouraged to evaluate Cancel For Any Reason coverage, typically available as an upgrade through most travel insurance providers, particularly if Client has any reason to anticipate that cancellation might become necessary. CFAR coverage commonly must be purchased within a limited window after the initial deposit (often 14–21 days) and for the full insurable cost of the trip, and typically reimburses a percentage, not the full amount, of trip cost. Client is responsible for reviewing the specific terms, deadlines, and reimbursement percentage of any CFAR policy under consideration.
  4. Claims. Company is not a party to, and has no involvement in, any insurance claim. All claims must be filed by Client directly with the insurance provider.
  1. Room Assignment. Room assignment is based on the order in which deposits are received, Client's stated room preference, and availability at the time of assignment. A stated preference is a request only and is not a guarantee of a specific room.
  2. Double-Occupancy Bookings. Double-occupancy bookings require a named roommate. If Client's named roommate does not complete her own booking and deposit within 48 hours of Client's booking, Company reserves the right to convert Client's booking to solo occupancy, with the difference in price due from Client on a timeline to be communicated by Company, or to reassign Client to a different double-occupancy pairing at Company's discretion.

Client acknowledges that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable or infectious diseases exists in any location where people gather, including international travel, shared accommodations, group transportation, and group dining. Client voluntarily assumes this risk on behalf of herself, and to the extent applicable, releases Company from claims arising from such exposure during the trip, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Client acknowledges that Masseria Petrarolo is leased in its entirety under a separate agreement between Company and the property's booking company, Island Earth Ltd, and that Client's conduct during the stay is governed by the property's own house rules. Client agrees to follow these rules at all times:

  • No more than 18 total guests on the property at any time without the property owner's prior agreement.
  • No children under the age of 10 are permitted on the rooftop pool terrace under any circumstances; children over 10 require adult supervision there at all times.
  • No smoking permitted anywhere inside the house.
  • No stiletto heels on the wooden flooring in the dining room.
  • No red wine glasses or bottles in the bedrooms.
  • Towels must be placed on chairs and sun loungers before use.
  • The sun umbrella must be closed at night and in windy conditions.
  • Care and attention required around the barbecue when lit.
  • No pets permitted without the property owner's prior agreement.
  • A refundable security deposit of EUR 3,000 applies to the booking as a whole, to cover any loss, breakage, or damage caused by any guest. Client agrees to be financially responsible for Client's proportional share of any amount deducted from this deposit due to Client's own actions.
  • Gratuities for property housekeeping staff are customary and appreciated, though not mandatory.

Any property charge, fee, or loss of security deposit funds resulting from Client's individual actions will be passed through to that Client and is that Client's financial responsibility, separate from and in addition to amounts described in Section D above.

  1. Zero Tolerance for Harassment, Discrimination, and Bullying. Company maintains a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, or bullying directed at other travelers, the Host, property staff, or any supplier's staff. Any Client found to have engaged in such conduct may be removed from the trip at Company's sole discretion without refund of any amount paid.
  2. Disorderly Conduct. Company maintains a zero-tolerance policy for disorderly conduct, including conduct affecting the peaceable enjoyment of the trip by other travelers. Any Client found to have engaged in such conduct may be removed from the trip at Company's sole discretion without refund of any amount paid.
  3. Alcohol. Client who consumes alcohol during the trip does so voluntarily and assumes all associated risk. Client agrees not to provide alcohol to any other Client or person who is under the legal drinking age in the applicable jurisdiction.
  4. Early Departure. A Client who voluntarily leaves the trip before its scheduled conclusion is solely responsible for her own subsequent travel arrangements and assumes all associated cost and risk, without refund of any unused portion of the trip.

Client acknowledges that the itinerary described in trip materials at the time of booking is subject to minor changes, substitutions, or additions (including bonus experiences) as final arrangements with local suppliers are confirmed. No compensation, credit, or refund is available for such changes, provided the overall character of the trip is not materially altered.

Neither Company nor the property is responsible for cancellation, delay, or disruption caused by events outside their reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, war, civil unrest, terrorism, or government action.

In the event of a Force Majeure event affecting Masseria Petrarolo specifically, Company's own remedy is limited to whatever transfer or credit, if any, is made available to Company under Company's agreement with the property (currently a transfer to an alternative week within 18 months at the then-current rate, with no cash refund). Company will pass through to Client whatever remedy, if any, Company is able to secure from the property under these circumstances, and Client acknowledges Company cannot offer a better remedy than what Company itself receives.

Note Personal financial hardship does not constitute a Force Majeure event.

Client consents to being photographed or filmed during the trip and to Company's use of such photographs or video in Company's marketing, social media, and future promotional materials, unless Client notifies Company in writing prior to departure that Client withholds this consent.
