🚨 Damage protection – peace of mind included 🚨



To provide a seamless experience, accidental damage protection is included as a fixed nightly fee.



It replaces the traditional security deposit and covers accidental damages up to $50,000 for eligible stays.* Very few properties offer this level of protection!



Result:

✔️ no security deposit required

✔️ simple and structured handling if something happens

✔️ a smooth, worry-free experience



Because true luxury is also peace of mind. 😇



While this protection typically replaces a deposit, we reserve the right to request an additional deposit in rare, case-by-case situations.

*Certain conditions and exclusions apply. Details available upon request.

🟢 Respect for nature at Domaine des Villas Scandinaves

Please note that grass maintenance around the chalets is deliberately limited. The Domaine prioritizes preserving the natural beauty of the site and wishes to minimize noise pollution caused by lawnmowers. This eco-friendly choice helps to provide a peaceful environment in harmony with nature.



🚧 Construction in the neighborhood

Construction is currently underway in the neighborhood. Work began in February and, according to the information we have received, is expected to last approximately 3 to 4 months. It is therefore possible that you may occasionally see or hear some activity during your stay, mainly during the day on weekdays.
