Yes, we have found that anything outside the peak season does need to be a lot lower priced to get the bookings; but if that's what it takes to get them, it's fine by me. But for the next season we have decided that the lowest we can go is 450 euro for the November-Feb (ish) months as it can get cold in the evenings and then guests need to use the radiators and more hot water etc, which of course bumps up our electricity costs. You have to be careful that you charge enough to cover it, particularly if you are also taking into account changeover and cleaning costs as well and the fact that often the low season bookings are just for one week...Partridge wrote:Hi Knightowl
20 weeks is good. Hope you don't mind my being nosey but looking at your prices would I be right in saying that that's what it takes to get the shoulder season bookings ie quite alot lower ?
I have tried this myself but not with any success as yet.

Hello Ros!
About the Irish market, i think I came to a listing site when doing my research, but I don´t have that information with me. I ´ll try to get it by Friday.

we have had a lot of Irish bookings in the past and wondered if there was another site I could use
Try www.apartmentsdirect.ie

Mmmm...checked their website and it's on a special offer of 25 euros p/a. There is another villa in Fuengirola that is on other sites that I list with, so I might give this site a go...."in for a penny in for a pound" or euro so to speak!
By the way...alot cheaper than H-R who I've been with a year this October and 'not performed' to my expectations...(very disappointed
) alot for nothing for £155 per year...I don't know why..only got 20 or so enquiries in 12 months! Re-newed my availabilty calendar regularly on the dot too!...But please note that is just my opinion, others on this forum may have a different view point on H-R!
