USAGE

The reservation system has been thoughtfully designed to provide abundant and flexible use of the Bella Villa Collezione properties. The Reservation Policies and Procedures provide owners the opportunity to use both their Primary Residence and other collection properties with more flexibility than the typical owner of a luxury vacation home in Italy.

Primary Vacations
Each owner purchases the right to use a fixed, Primary Vacation – for a period of two consecutive weeks – in their primary residence. This two-week usage block, set at time of purchase, will be reserved for that owner's use every year.

Planned Vacations
Each owner has the right to reserve, well in advance, up to two additional weeks of Planned Vacations throughout the Residence  Year. The Planned Vacations may be scheduled for a minimum of one week and a maximum of two consecutive weeks in the owner's Primary Residence or another residence in the collection. A Rotating Priority Number is assigned to each owner prior to the confirmation of Planned Vacation requests. This number is used to confirm Planned Vacations when demand exceeds lodging supply for a given period in a particular residence. The Rotating Priority Number changes each year to equitably allow Planned Vacations during high-demand periods over the years.

Space Available Vacations
At the beginning of each Residence Year, there will be a minimum of 10 weeks of unallocated vacation time. Owners may request Space Available Vacation reservations after all Planned Vacations are confirmed. Owners may book one confirmed Space Available Vacation at a time and no sooner than 90 days prior to the Arrival Date of the request. Space Available Vacations are available in one-week increments. Owners may request additional Space Available Vacations after they complete occupancy of their current, confirmed Space Available Vacation. Unused time from other owners may also increase the Space Available pool of weeks.

Short Notice Vacations
For those last-minute getaways, an owner may make a Short Notice Vacation reservation. Short Notice Vacations can be reserved 30 days prior to the Arrival Date for that reservation, even if that owner already has confirmed reservations for their allowable Planned and Space Available Vacations. Each owner may have only one confirmed Short Notice Vacation on the books at a time.

Resort Equities offers shared ownership in exquisite properties where the purchase price equates to usage. Those who choose Resort Equities' residences are seeking a beautifully appointed second home as well as attentive, personalized service. Because Resort Equities is a boutique operation with dedicated, local resources they can assure that ownership is effortless, customized and completely turn-key.

Furthermore, the Bella Villa Collezione is an unparalleled offering. Other fractional developments in Italy allow use of a certain home – or grouping of homes – within a single region. The Bella Villa Collezione, however, enables owners to vacation at luxurious residences throughout Italy, in the most sought-after destinations.
