What data we collect
The form on the Contact page does not send anything to a server: on confirmation it opens the email programme installed on your device, with the details you have written already filled in. The message is sent from your own email address and arrives in our inbox. This website, in itself, neither stores nor transmits the data entered in the form.
The data you send us by email or give us by phone (name, contact details, dates of stay, any preferences) is used solely to reply to you, handle your booking enquiry and comply with the legal obligations relating to hospitality. It is never passed to third parties for commercial purposes.
Cookies
This website uses no profiling cookies, installs no analytics systems and does not track users' browsing.
Some external resources may be requested by your browser while you visit the pages, and their providers may record the IP address of the request in accordance with their own privacy policies:
- Google Fonts — for the typefaces used on the pages.
- OpenStreetMap — for the map tiles on the Contact and What to see pages.
- Magellano (MediaLab S.r.l., Italy) — for the booking module, loaded only when you use it.
Legal basis for processing
The processing of personal data is based on the following legal grounds under Art. 6 of EU Regulation 2016/679:
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f) — for technical cookies necessary for the website to function and for storing the cookie banner preference.
- Performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6.1.b) — for handling booking enquiries and correspondence related to your stay.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6.1.c) — for tax and administrative obligations related to the hospitality business.
Data transfers outside the EU
Loading certain external resources may result in the transfer of the visitor's IP address to servers located outside the European Economic Area:
- Google Fonts (Google LLC, USA) — typefaces are requested from Google's servers, which may log the IP address according to their privacy policy. The transfer is covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) adopted by Google.
- OpenStreetMap (OpenStreetMap Foundation, UK) — map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap servers, which may log the IP address according to their privacy policy.
Retention
Correspondence relating to booking enquiries is kept for as long as is needed to manage the stay and for the periods required by tax and administrative obligations, then deleted.
