Prices and terms for 2011

Posted on July 27, 2010 by Veragooner

We have set our prices for 2011 using Ryanair philosophy. I don’t mean we charge extra for beds, use of TV etc. although it’s not a bad idea!

What we have done is set lower or the same price as last year and then when the weeks start to book we will possibly raise prices for the busy weeks.

Another change is..

“Finca Arboleda is perfect for a quiet relaxing break.To help us achieve this for all guests we do not accept children in the Villa or Apartment during the peak summer months.”

We hope this will prove popular with guests.

We have a lovely Belgian family staying and they have brought lots of delights from their country for us to try.

Must check where the next guests are coming from!

Web site a work of fiction?

Posted on July 16, 2010 by Veragooner

Came across the website “I write like”   http://iwl.me/ the idea being you paste some text you’ve written and it “Checks which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.”

So I pasted the 1st 2 paragraphs of our home page and it came back with H.P.Lovecraft, Wikipedia tells me…

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, especially the sub-genre known as weird fiction….oh err!

I expect most people saw it, it was like watching any team managed by Sam Alardyce kick Arsenal around the pitch. Anyway the good guys won and Spain partied!

What’s left and what’s staying.

Posted on July 3, 2010 by Veragooner

The Stables are now fully booked for the summer but there are still a few weeks available in the apartment. 14 Aug – 2 Sept looks like a perfect break for a couple.

Best news though is that the Plasma will be staying after yesterdays results!

Sizzling summer has started to fizzle.

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Veragooner

After the no show of the Football team my mate John told me the Cricket team are unbeatable.  I watched them stutter yesterday and wondered if Fabio had given the team talk. All we need now is for the English hater to win Wimbledon and the 42 inch Plasma could be looking for a new home.
