... or why is better to book now than cry after :)
In this post, we want to tell you some basic informations about booking... As every year we have the same problems, well... we don't have, but some of our quests have, we decided here to tell you what is the best way to find your perfect accommodation for summer...If you are one of our "dear old guest" who allready learned about this, please confirm in the comments bellow that all this what is going to be written below is the truth and nothing but the truth... ;)
So, as every year, we opened our agency in Premantura early, on 1. April.
There was allready some mooving, but we also wanted to prepare ourself for the Summer season, and that means a lot of work. First thing to do is to collect all our bycicles ( we have 20 of them and this year we ordered 20 new :) ) and take them on service in Šišan ( because BRB service is the best and we don't want anything less than this :) )
New bikes are comming! |
This year the, so called mooving, started very early as I mentioned before...
Reasons for this are; early Easter time and unless the bad weather, some people come here to spend their weekend and they started to look the apartments for the summer... Our warm suggestion to everyone who wants to stay in Premantura during the August time is to book early. Especially if you have some specific wishes, like for example: " ...we are 2 or maybe 3 families, we want to be all together in the same house, it is ideal that this house has a garden with grill and maybe pool, we want 2 bathrooms of course and...close to the beach...can you find us something? And of course, we don't want to pay more than $$##%% per night...Thank you very much...oh wait, did I mentioned that we have also one SMALL dog, it is not heavier than 35kg, you know a small Cane Corso :). " In summer time, when you literally can't find a dog's house free, some people even come from Nord of Europe ( that means that they took a drive whole night ) with 2 small children, searching without any reservations and without any idea where they come, an accomodation with speciall wishes like this one...
Make a reservation today, so that tomorrow you don't have to sleep on the beach :) |
Okay, there is no problem with this kind of requests if you send them to us in March or April, we will definetly find you something that will be the best for you...But, if you send us a request like that one mentioned before in June, July or even just few days before you go to your holiday... better keep your fingers crossed. Of course, sometimes we have a situation that somebody had to cancel their stay because of some unplanned events, and in this case we will have free something really nice.
And people, really, let's be honest, even if you don't have so complicated request, it will be hard to find free place in June for August, not even to mention in August for August...request that are coming in those days, we don't even have time to read, and the answer to all of them is the same: " we are sorry, but we are overbooked. Reservation for now are made 2 months before..." And than those people are very sorry, we are also, but there is nothing to do...we just hope that next year they won't wait for the last minute. The problem is, as we know, that you maybe don't know when you will have your holiday, but there is really nothing to do...and this year especially, I think that at the end of June we won't have a free place for the entire Summer.
After Easter time there was, now traditional, Festival Kamenjak Rocky Trails from 11. - 12.04.15. with participants from all the Europe. It is interesting how this small village suddenly wakes up from the winter sleep, and it seems like everybody starts to go out from their houses, looking around what's happening...
In summertime, when you have a rush from dusk till down, and when you can hear 10 different languages on the street, it is not easy to imagine "winter idila" when all that you can see on the street is Šime the dog :)
We didn't even had time to move around us, the Italian and Slovenian people start to come, due to Liberation Day in Italy on 25. April and "Dan osvobodilne fronte" on 27. April in Slovenia...
A lot of people made a "bridge" with 1. May, and they stayed here for the whole week...
It was very nice to remember a little bit of what is in front of us, because now everything will stop again until 1. June when officially starts the Summer season...
This year specifically, we had really a lot requests from people who arrived here to see the apartments, for the accommodation in summer time. We made a lot reservations "on the street" and even more of them are made via e-mail and our web site...
So, with this post we wanted to explain you how the things here are working... Believe us dear people, we have really a lot of experience in this, and if you take this advices, you will have a vacation to remember... After all, you deserve it as we deserve our in October :)
There are still very nice apartments available, so hurry up and contact us ASAP so that you don't cry after...
That' all for now,
best wishes from Premantura,
truly yours
