Insurance

We do expect our guests to take care of their own travel insurance to ensure that they have adequate coverage in case of a cancellation. We further expect that guests take care of their own liability insurance in case they cause damage of the house, furniture or our instruments & equipment. If you do not have such an insurance we expect you to pay for the caused damage yourself in the period of two weeks after the cause of damage.

Smoking

Smoking is only allowed in the garden or on the balcony. When smoking make sure not to disturb the other guests. In all other areas smoking is prohibited.

We will only cancel your stay due to unavoidable circumstances such as illness or natural disasters. If your stay is cancelled you have the option of a full refund or transfer your stay to another date. We are unable to refund any travel cost. If you cancel your booking 60 days prior to the start of your stay we offer a full refund. If you cancel within 60 days prior to your stay we offer a 75% refund.

Groups that book the whole residency: 50 Eur (first floor).

Children

Residence Midi is tailored to the needs of artists & adults. We do not prohibit children as a general rule but we also do not provide any special equipment (children’s beds & chairs) nor are there any children friendly precaution measures taken (children friendly energy plugs or protected stair cases). Please note that parents will be liable for any damages caused by their children during the duration of their stay at Residennce Midi. We will accept no responsibility for injury, loss, or damage arising from your stay – this remains the sole responsibility of the parents.

Environment

At Residence Midi we care about the environment. This is why most of our furniture is second hand vintage or repurposed, the linens and textiles are made of bio cotton, other natural material or fabricated out of recycled plastic bottles. All our cleaning products, detergents and beauty products are ecological, non toxic, biodegradable and often handmade and according to zero waste principles to avoid unnecessary packaging. What we can we buy local, in bulk and directly at the producer.

Artists

Visa

We can provide you with a letter of invitation which may help with your visa application. If your visa application is refused we can only offer a refund in line with our refunds policy.

Residence Midi Grant

At Residence Midi we do everything to make your stay and our courses as affordable as possible. For artists with less financial means we founded the Residence Midi Grant scheme. This program offers a grant up to 50% of the cost of your stay. In order to be eligible for the Grant we require you to provide us with information concerning your income – for example a recent benefits letter, payslip, tax document or written statement that you are a student. The application form is quick and easy. Applications are mostly assessed within a week. Note: the application should be completed before you reserve your stay. The only way to apply for the Grant is by filling out the Grant application form.

Payment Plan

The payment plan is implemented for artists that can’t pay for their stay in one go. This way you can spread the cost of your stay over a period of three months. Once you subscribe to our payment plan you will need to make the first payment straight away. The first payment is a deposit of 25% of the full amount. With the payment of the deposit your booking is official. The next payment is due in exactly one month and so on over the course of three month until the total amount is paid. Important: Your first payment is not refundable. This is to cover our admin costs and to find a replacement for you in case you have to cancel your visit. Provided that you complete the payment plan a cancellation and refund is possible. Regular guests and artists without a payment plan are expected to pay the remaining sum directly after their stay.
