So the 2019 season is now officially opened in the Algarve. This is promising for us considering we are half booked for the year. For the high season we already have a couple apartments almost fully booked.
The usual tourist spots are coming to life as more and more visitors arrive through Faro.
The weather has been absolutely fantastic all spring so far. No rain, lots and lots of sun and mid 20's to low 30's Celcius for a couple weeks already. The pool hovers around 24-26 all day and by the looks of recent forecasts it should soon hit 26-28. We enjoy it each time we can, which is almost every day. Yeh, we work hard, we don't make much, but the benefits... :-)
On the bright side, all the new doors and windows are now installed with new glass after a few faulty ones were spotted by the installer. This has been a rather long process but all well in the end and we are quite satisfied with the results. We would still be happy to recommend the installer.
On the not as bright side this means it's now time for the next step, refurbishing and re-installing the shutters on the upper level apartments, and that's up to me. A good sanding, some wood putty, more sanding, cleaning, then, then.... painting! Yes I love painting. I shouldn't complain really, at least it's not white :-). At the end this will be a major comfort enhancement for the apartments and our customers so we are keen on getting it done.
Because we really do care about the comfort of our customers and they seem to agree. The feedback is very gratifying. Of the last 10 guest reviews on Booking.com all are above 9 /10 and 6 customers gave us the perfect score of 10/10. Thank you!!
Speaking of which, we are trying out some of the functionality on Booking.com to offer even better deals for those booking a long time ahead of arrival. As of now you. if you are booking for an arrival in 180 days or more, you can book at a nicely discounted non-refundable rate providing meaningful savings.
Also, as our calendar fills up, this sometimes creates 1-2 days gaps in between bookings. We usually require a minimum 3 days stay to justify our costs and efforts. Now on Booking.com you can book these 'gaps' for a 1 or 2 nights stay. You get the same set-up and supplies as for any other booking (without car and transfers). So if you want to use us as a 'hotel' night over, you can.
For these short stays we apply a 'hotel' type rate, a bit more expensive per night, but we believe well justified and still great value. These gaps are also available at non-refundable discount rates, all with as little as 2 days notice.
This is on Booking.com but, of course, the best is to contact us direct. We can tailor solutions and work out great deals for you over the phone in minutes.
There you have it, we are in full swing, full sun, full fun. And you have full flexibility, full day to full week, car on the street, full tank. Full comfort, full choice, full control.
So don't wait for Monte-Bougainvillea to be full. Book now!
And you know, if you can't come it's ok, you can still share the love by liking this post.
If you really like, don't just like, Share!
Because the best love is shared.
Hope to see you soon,
Sylvie & jc
