Q1. Why do I have to send for a Brochure and Price List, why not put it all on your
Website?
A1. The approximate rental (Low/High season) is given on my Home page and should
enable you to compare prices with other similar villas.
This web site is an opportunity to show the villa and it’s facilities and there should
be enough information to help you decide if you are possibly interested. However I
am a private owner letting direct and do not have staff to monitor my web site or
a system of booking and paying rentals on the site (all these would add costs which
would be reflected in higher rental charges).
For this reason it makes sense to start dealing direct with those of you that are
strongly interested, as my post/telephone has my full attention. The price list is
fairly comprehensive as it is tailored to the size of the party, and the booking
conditions quite extensive, and both are best viewed as hard copies.
They are sent to you free and with no obligations whatsoever. I only respond if you
contact me again or if you wish to actually book.
Q2. Can you arrange flights and car hire for us?
A2. It is not financially viable for a single villa owner to have a ATOL licence, and
anyway these days (the fact you’re reading this) you can use a search engine to
book flights direct, or through an on-line agency. However for my tenants, if they
need it, I am allowed to give advice if they’re stuck or unsure, based on my
experience over many years.
I can arrange car hire locally in Menorca with a very reliable (English run)
company with competitive rates and a 20% discount for my tenants.
Q3. Why don’t you have a single rental for a particular week like everyone else?
A3. The costs of keeping two people in the villa for a week is less than for seven people
(gas, electricity, water, laundry, etc.) so I don’t think it fair for small parties to
pay the same rental as large parties, do you?
It’s not an exact science, but I have a small adjustment to the rental based on the
party size. (Many of my bookings are for small parties of 2 or 3 - they like the
extra space!)
Some other villa owners do this - I’m not unique. But it’s true most charge a fixed
rental presumably based on maximum occupancy. Better ask them!!!
Q4. I have an urgent query that needs an answer now. What’s the best way?
A4. For any query the telephone is always the best (01621 741810). I monitor Emails
from time to time but telephone contact is by far the best, and is more personal.
