Olives 2010

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Veragooner

Last week was Olive harvest. Dry, warm and windy. We picked over 500 kilos which yielded 130 litres of Extra Virgin Oil a very high amount and our best ever in terms of %.

There are some photos on the facebook page. Now we have builders here for a week changing a few windows in our house and the apartment. Still nice and warm here.

Ollives ready to go!

We’re going to change some of the windows in the apartment and any couples wanting to book in November will receive a free upgrade to the Villa, subject to availability of course.

It’s still warm here, 20+ most days and you may be around to join in with the Olive picking.

Apparently they have now stopped the 32 Kg in one bag trick that I mentioned here a few months ago…beware.

We have started a Finca Arboleda facebook page early days still and I’m a bit of a facebook novice but we’ll get there, pop along and support us.

Apparently it’s essential to have a presence there and on twitter and Digg and stumble upon and…………………………………………!

Property for sale.

Posted on October 20, 2010 by Veragooner

The property page is updated with a couple of beautiful places for sale at realistic prices.

They were going to prizes in the “winitliveit” raffle but this has been closed down and all money refunded.

If you are interested in viewing them while staying at Finca Arboleda I’m sure this can be arranged.

Warning over holiday villa online booking scams

Posted on October 3, 2010 by Veragooner

BBC news ran this article yesterday warning people to be careful when booking a property online. It is good advice and the industry really needs some regulation to give holiday renters some confidence that the holiday apartment or villa they desire is genuine.

What do we do at our end to assure you that we are genuine?

We started renting out in 2004 and this ad on Owners direct supports this, scroll to the bottom and read..

“This advertiser joined Owners Direct in June 2004,
and has advertised this property with us since November 2004.”  and on Spain holiday since Jan 2008.

Our online guest book has 75 entries starting from February 2006  when we launched the web site, we can also be found on google and trip advisor.

We have been verified and accredited on “Your Holiday Matters” which is linked from our web site home page.

If your still not sure please give us a call and check that we are real people, the phone number is on all the ads.

Book with confidence, you’ll be glad you did.

Kitchen fund blown again!

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Veragooner

Regular visitors normally come up to our house for eggs, jam, DVD, maps etc. and conversation gets around to how our own kitchen refurb is going. Well the latest news is that following new beds and sofas in the Stables the fund has been used on the accommodation again.

Leather recliners in the apartment and they are fantastic.

I blame ex-guests who introduced us to Koala.

Back from the UK

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Veragooner

We’ve just been back to England for a long weekend mainly to celebrate Florrie’s, my Mum, 90th Birthday. What a great time we had, all the family had worked so hard preparing fantastic food.

We stayed in a lovely B&B which has an award winning Breakfast and it’s worth staying there for this alone. The Godalming area has loads to offer, beautiful countryside, Guildford for shopping and only 45 minutes from London on the train.

Did I forget to mention that it’s run by my Brother and his wife?

Romance in the air.

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Veragooner

Russ and Sharlene  from New Zealand via Melbourne are staying here as part of their European adventure. Russ had planned to propose to Sharlene in Paris but changed his mind when he saw our pool and decided that this was the perfect place.

Once they told us the news we had no hesitation in breaking out the 1.69 euro bottle of Cava that we had in the fridge for a special occasion!

Having had newly weds stay a few weeks ago, you can feel the romance in the air!
