FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you may wish to know before arranging time with Alessia Vale.
I value clarity just as much as discretion.
My website has been designed to answer most questions before you contact me, allowing the booking process itself to remain simple, private and pleasantly uncomplicated.
Please take a few moments to read the information below before making your enquiry.
⸻
HOW DO I MAKE A BOOKING?
You will always be communicating directly with me.
No agency.
No assistant.
No third parties.
Bookings are accepted via SMS or email only.
When making an enquiry, please include:
• Your name
• City of enquiry
• Preferred date & time
• Desired duration
• Incall or outcall
• Experience requested
• Where you discovered me
For outcalls, extended dates, touring appointments and Alessia Without Borders enquiries, additional information may be required.
I receive a high volume of enquiries and naturally prioritise clear, respectful communication from those who have taken the time to read my website.
Messages such as “Are you available?”, incomplete enquiries, repeated questions already answered here, or enquiries without the information above may not receive a response.
Please only contact me when you are genuinely ready to proceed with a booking and deposit.
⸻
WHERE SHOULD I LOOK BEFORE CONTACTING YOU?
Most questions are already answered throughout my website.
Before contacting me, please review the pages relevant to the experience you are considering:
• Rates & Experiences
• Date Day/Night
• Overnight & Extended Experiences
• Alessia Without Borders (FMTY)
• Digital Services
• Tours & Travel Schedule
• Deposits & Cancellations
• Policies & Etiquette
Taking a few moments to familiarise yourself with this information means less administration, fewer messages back and forth, and a much smoother booking process for both of us.
⸻
TRUST & BOOKING DEPOSITS ⭐
If you have previously been scammed or had an unpleasant experience with somebody else, I am genuinely sorry that happened.
However, another person’s actions do not alter my booking policies.
I have built my reputation over many years by operating professionally, discreetly and with integrity. My photographs, website, advertising history, reviews and established online presence allow you to independently familiarise yourself with me before making contact.
A deposit is required to secure every appointment and is non-negotiable.
It protects my time in exactly the same way that your confirmed appointment protects yours.
If you are uncomfortable paying a deposit, I completely understand, but I will not be the right provider for you.
⸻
WHY IS A DEPOSIT REQUIRED?
A deposit formally secures your appointment and reserves that time exclusively for you.
Once the details of your booking have been agreed upon, your deposit must be received within one hour, unless we have agreed otherwise.
Until your deposit has been received, your requested time remains unconfirmed and may be offered to another enquiry without notice.
Please do not make travel arrangements, restaurant reservations or other plans around an appointment that has not yet been confirmed.
Deposit amounts, payment methods and individual booking requirements can be found on my Deposits & Cancellations page.
⸻
WHEN IS MY BOOKING ACTUALLY CONFIRMED?
Your booking is confirmed only when:
• We have agreed upon the date, time, duration and location
• Any required screening has been satisfactorily completed
• The required deposit has been received
• You have received confirmation directly from me
Discussing a potential appointment does not constitute a confirmed booking.
A requested time is not held indefinitely while awaiting screening, information or payment.
⸻
ARE DEPOSITS REFUNDABLE OR TRANSFERABLE?
No.
All deposits are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable, except where I cancel the appointment.
When I reserve time for you, I may be declining other enquiries, arranging accommodation, organising travel, altering my schedule or setting aside a significant portion of my day exclusively for our appointment.
For this reason, deposits cannot be refunded or transferred due to:
• Cancellation
• Change of mind
• Scheduling conflicts
• Travel delays
• Flight cancellations
• Work commitments
• Personal circumstances
• Failure to complete screening
• Failure to provide requested information
• Non-attendance
• Changes to your own travel plans
Touring appointments, Alessia Without Borders arrangements, overnights, extended engagements and accommodation-based bookings are particularly time-sensitive and are therefore strictly non-refundable.
Refunds are provided only if I cancel your appointment.
Any approved refund will be returned within 72 hours using an agreed payment method.
⸻
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
Deposits may currently be paid via:
• Wise
• PayID
• Beem
The remaining balance is payable in cash at the commencement of our appointment.
Please arrive with the correct amount prepared.
Bank transfers on arrival are not accepted.
Over the years I have encountered delayed transfers, pending payments, banking outages, incorrect amounts and funds that simply did not arrive when expected.
I would much rather spend our time enjoying each other’s company than staring at banking apps waiting for a payment to clear.
For that reason, this policy applies to all clients without exception.
⸻
WHY DO I USE A BOOKING REFERENCE?
To protect both your privacy and mine, all deposits must be made using the unique Booking Reference I provide.
Please do not use:
• Your name
• Initials
• Nickname
• Phone number
• Personal information
• “Gift”
• “Booking”
• “Appointment”
• “Service”
• Or any other description
Simply enter the Booking Reference exactly as provided, using capital letters.
For example:
MEL2806A
This allows me to quickly match your payment with your appointment while maintaining discretion and accurate records.
Deposits received with an incorrect or missing reference may delay confirmation.
⸻
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL, NO-SHOW OR STOP COMMUNICATING?
A confirmed appointment means I have reserved that time exclusively for you.
If you cancel on the day, fail to attend, disappear after confirming, or otherwise abandon your booking, your deposit will be forfeited.
In some circumstances, particularly where substantial time, travel or accommodation has been committed, the remaining balance may also become payable.
Future bookings may not be accepted until any outstanding balance has been settled.
Repeated cancellations, no-shows, deliberately misleading enquiries or persistent timewasting will result in future enquiries being declined.
⸻
WHAT SCREENING IS REQUIRED?
Safety, privacy and mutual comfort matter enormously to me.
All outcalls require screening.
Depending upon the booking, this may include:
• Full legal name
• Mobile number
• Email address
• Photo identification
• Hotel confirmation
• Room key or booking confirmation
• LinkedIn or professional verification
• Employment or business information
• Other reasonable verification where required
For hotel outcalls, I may request confirmation that you are the registered guest.
For private residences or unfamiliar locations, additional screening requirements may apply and acceptance remains entirely at my discretion.
Any identification or information requested is for verification and safety purposes only.
If you are unwilling or unable to complete the requested screening, the booking cannot proceed.
⸻
DO RETURNING CLIENTS NEED TO BE SCREENED AGAIN?
Usually the process is considerably simpler.
However, I reserve the right to request updated information where circumstances, location or the nature of the booking have changed.
An international trip, unfamiliar outcall location or extended arrangement may reasonably require information that was unnecessary for a previous appointment.
⸻
DO YOU ACCEPT IN-CALL AND OUTCALL APPOINTMENTS?
Yes, where listed as available.
My incall arrangements are discreet and selected with privacy and comfort in mind.
Outcalls are available subject to location, travel requirements and screening.
Hotels should be of an appropriate standard, and I reserve the right to decline any property, private residence or location I do not consider suitable.
Travel charges may apply depending upon distance and location.
⸻
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE YOUR INCALL ADDRESS?
For privacy and security, my exact incall location is not publicly advertised.
Confirmed clients receive the necessary arrival information at the appropriate time before their appointment.
Please do not request an exact address before your booking has been confirmed.
⸻
WHAT IF I AM EARLY?
Please do not arrive early unless I specifically ask you to.
I carefully schedule my appointments and personal time, and arriving early can be just as disruptive as arriving late.
If you are nearby, please wait until the agreed arrival time before approaching the location.
⸻
WHAT IF I AM RUNNING LATE?
Please message me as soon as you know you may be delayed.
Your appointment begins at the agreed time, and unfortunately I cannot guarantee that the finishing time can be extended if you arrive late.
Where my schedule allows, I will always try to be accommodating, but this cannot be assumed.
Significant delays without communication may be treated as a cancellation or no-show.
⸻
CAN I EXTEND OUR TIME?
Often, yes.
If we are enjoying ourselves and my schedule permits, you are very welcome to ask.
Extensions are subject to availability and are arranged at the applicable rate.
Please never assume I will be free beyond our originally agreed finishing time.
⸻
CAN I CHANGE THE DURATION, LOCATION OR EXPERIENCE AFTER BOOKING?
Please discuss any requested changes with me before our appointment.
Changes are subject to availability, suitability and any difference in rate or deposit requirements.
A confirmed booking cannot automatically be converted into a different date, location, experience or duration.
If you would like something different from what we originally arranged, simply ask beforehand.
⸻
WHAT ARE YOUR AVAILABLE HOURS?
My availability varies according to whether I am in Melbourne, touring or travelling internationally.
Current availability and upcoming destinations are published on my Tours & Travel Schedule and relevant booking pages.
Appointments outside my usual hours may occasionally be possible with sufficient notice.
Longer experiences, social dates and extended arrangements are best organised in advance.
⸻
DO YOU ACCEPT LAST-MINUTE BOOKINGS?
Sometimes.
If my diary permits and all booking requirements can be completed, I may accept a same-day enquiry.
However, last-minute availability should never be assumed.
Advance bookings are strongly recommended, particularly for evenings, weekends, touring dates, social engagements and extended experiences.
⸻
DO YOU OFFER DINNER DATES, SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS, OVERNIGHTS OR EXTENDED EXPERIENCES?
Absolutely.
These are some of my favourite ways to spend time with someone because they allow us to relax beyond the clock-watching rhythm of a shorter appointment.
Dinner, drinks, events, beautiful hotels, lazy mornings, travel and longer escapes all create a very different kind of experience.
Detailed information regarding rates, timing, inclusions and expectations can be found on my Date Day/Night and Overnight & Extended Experiences pages.
⸻
WHAT SHOULD I TELL YOU WHEN ARRANGING A SOCIAL DATE?
Tell me what you have in mind.
Restaurant, event, drinks, theatre, an occasion, something wonderfully extravagant or something deliciously low-key.
For dining experiences, please let me know the venue once confirmed.
If your plans involve a particular dress code, substantial walking, outdoor activities or anything else I should dress appropriately for, please mention it beforehand.
For longer experiences or travel, dietary requirements, itinerary considerations and practical arrangements can all be discussed privately once your booking is confirmed.
⸻
DO YOU OFFER FLY ME TO YOU ARRANGEMENTS?
Yes.
Alessia Without Borders is designed for those seeking interstate, international or extended travel experiences together.
These arrangements require considerably more planning than a standard appointment and may involve flights, accommodation, transfers, scheduling and other travel logistics.
Please read my Alessia Without Borders page carefully before enquiring, as it explains the requirements and booking process in detail.
Serious enquiries are always welcome.
⸻
CAN I INVITE YOU TO A CITY THAT ISN’T ON YOUR TOUR SCHEDULE?
Yes.
My published tour schedule shows where I already intend to be.
It does not define everywhere I am willing to go.
If you would like me to travel specifically to you, please enquire through Alessia Without Borders rather than waiting for your city to appear on my schedule.
⸻
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ARRANGE AN EXTENDED OR INTERNATIONAL BOOKING?
As early as reasonably possible.
International travel, extended experiences, special events and overnight arrangements often require flights, accommodation and diary coordination.
The more ambitious the plan, the more useful advance notice becomes.
Spontaneity is wonderful once the logistics are taken care of.
⸻
DO YOU OFFER DIGITAL SERVICES?
Yes.
All digital experiences are private, prepaid and arranged directly with me.
Current options and pricing can be found on my Digital Services page.
Payment must be received before digital services commence.
⸻
DO YOU OFFER ROLEPLAY?
Yes.
Roleplay is available with selected experiences and can be tailored around mutual interests, boundaries and comfort.
If there is something particular you have in mind, you are welcome to mention it when enquiring.
Popular themes, pricing and further information can be found on my Rates & Experiences page.
⸻
IS FILMING AVAILABLE?
Yes.
Filming is available by prior arrangement and attracts additional fees.
All filming must be mutually agreed upon before the appointment and is strictly for private personal use unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
No filming, photography or audio recording may take place without my prior knowledge and consent.
Please refer to my Rates & Experiences page for further information.
⸻
CAN I REQUEST SOMETHING THAT ISN’T LISTED?
You are welcome to ask respectfully.
My website explains my experiences, boundaries and available options, but I understand that individual preferences vary.
Anything outside what has already been agreed must be discussed beforehand.
Please never arrive expecting something simply because another person offers it or because you assumed it would be included.
Mutual comfort and consent always take precedence.
⸻
WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENE?
Excellent personal hygiene is expected from both of us.
Please arrive freshly showered, clean and appropriately groomed.
If you are arriving after work, travelling or have had a long day, taking a few minutes to freshen up beforehand is always appreciated.
The same standard of presentation and care you can expect from me is the standard I ask from you.
⸻
WHAT IF I ARRIVE INTOXICATED?
Please don’t.
A glass of wine over dinner is one thing. Arriving heavily intoxicated or impaired is another.
If I believe alcohol or any substance is affecting your behaviour, judgement, communication or ability to respect boundaries, I reserve the right to end or decline the appointment.
Your deposit will not be refunded.
⸻
ARE YOUR BOUNDARIES NEGOTIABLE?
No.
My boundaries exist for my health, safety and comfort and are not changed by additional payment, gifts, persuasion or previous experiences with somebody else.
Likewise, I will always respect yours.
Anything requiring discussion should be raised before our appointment rather than introduced unexpectedly during our time together.
Mutual respect makes everything better.
⸻
HOW IS MY PRIVACY PROTECTED?
Discretion is not simply offered.
It is expected.
I personally manage my communication, screening and bookings.
There are no assistants, agencies or third parties involved.
Information supplied for screening or booking purposes is treated discreetly and used only as reasonably required to facilitate and protect our arrangement.
Your privacy is treated with the same care and discretion I expect for my own.
⸻
DO YOU SPEAK WITH PARTNERS, SPOUSES, FRIENDS OR THIRD PARTIES?
No.
I do not engage with spouses, partners, family members, friends, employers, investigators or other third parties regarding a client or booking.
I will neither confirm nor discuss whether somebody has contacted, booked or met me.
All communication remains strictly between myself and the person making the enquiry.
Please also respect my privacy by communicating with me directly rather than asking another person to contact me on your behalf.
⸻
CAN SOMEONE ELSE MAKE A BOOKING FOR ME?
Generally, no.
For privacy, screening and clarity, I prefer to communicate directly with the person I will actually be meeting.
If you are arranging something unusual, such as a genuine gift, couple’s experience or special occasion, contact me with the circumstances and I can advise whether it is something I am comfortable considering.
⸻
HOW WILL YOU PRESENT ON A SOCIAL DATE?
Elegant. Polished. Feminine. Appropriate to the occasion.
Whether joining you for dinner, cocktails, an event, an overnight escape or international travel, I take pride in presenting beautifully and ensuring we both feel completely comfortable in our surroundings.
If there is a dress code or particular style of venue, simply let me know.
Part of the pleasure is dressing for the occasion.
⸻
ARE YOUR PHOTOS CURRENT?
Yes.
My photographs accurately represent the woman you will meet.
I use minimal retouching and do not believe in presenting an online version of myself that bears little resemblance to reality.
What you see is what you meet.
⸻
WHAT KIND OF COMMUNICATION DO YOU EXPECT?
Simple things go a very long way.
Introduce yourself.
Read the information I have provided.
Communicate clearly.
Be respectful.
Keep me informed if something changes.
Please remember that messaging is primarily for arranging our time together, rather than unlimited ongoing conversation.
Once your booking is confirmed, I am naturally happy to discuss the details necessary to make our time together wonderful.
⸻
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE MY BOOKING IS CONFIRMED?
Relax.
The administrative part is done.
Keep your confirmation details handy, ensure you have the correct remaining balance prepared, complete any final outcall or hotel verification requested, and let me know promptly if anything important changes.
For social, extended or travel arrangements, we can then refine the enjoyable details such as restaurants, itinerary, dress, timing and any particular touches that will make the experience feel personal.
You do not need to repeatedly reconfirm unless I have specifically asked you to.
I have you in my diary.
⸻
ONE FINAL NOTE
Respect.
Discretion.
Clear communication.
These are not optional extras.
They are the foundation of every enjoyable experience I offer.
I don’t expect perfection or formality. I simply appreciate people who communicate like adults, respect my time and understand that discretion and consideration work both ways.
Approach me with genuine intent, good manners and mutual respect, and the administrative part becomes wonderfully simple.
Then we can forget about policies, deposits, forms and logistics and concentrate on the reason you contacted me in the first place:
enjoying our time together.
Because when the right two people meet, what follows is rarely just an appointment.
It becomes a memory.
