Who We Are

Rouchelli Villas S.r.l. (“Rouchelli”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a luxury villa rental and concierge company registered in Italy. Our registered office is at Via Montenapoleone 8, 20121 Milan, Italy. We are the data controller for all personal information collected through this website and in connection with our services.

Data We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide to us directly, as well as certain information collected automatically when you use our website. This may include:

  • Identity data: name, title, and date of birth where relevant.
  • Contact data: email address, telephone number, and postal address.
  • Booking data: travel dates, villa preferences, number of guests, and special requirements.
  • Financial data: payment card details processed securely via our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, time zone, cookie identifiers, and pages visited.
  • Communications: records of correspondence and enquiries sent to us.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data to process and manage bookings, respond to enquiries, provide our concierge services, send you relevant communications about your stay, and improve our website and services. We may also use your data to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our terms of service. We will only send you marketing communications where you have given your consent or where we have a legitimate interest to do so, and you can opt out at any time.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, understand usage patterns, and deliver relevant content. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. You may control preference, analytics, and marketing cookies through our cookie consent manager, which is presented on your first visit. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Third Parties

We share your data with carefully selected third parties only to the extent necessary to deliver our services. These include our payment processor (Stripe), email service provider, analytics tools (used in anonymised form), and where required, the villa owner or their management team in connection with your booking. We do not sell your personal data to any third party. All third-party processors are bound by contractual data protection obligations consistent with GDPR requirements.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Booking records are typically retained for seven years in accordance with Italian tax law. Marketing data is retained until you withdraw consent. Where data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law (including the GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data; to restrict or object to its processing; and to receive a portable copy of data you have provided to us. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@rouchelli.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will always indicate when the most recent changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated policy.
