Guestbook
Thank you for a lovely stay at your house in Torrevieja!!! We felt very welcome and it was so nice that there was already coffee, bread and many other things there (especially since we couldn't buy anything on a Sunday). Thank you - it was very thoughtful!! Helle and family from Denmark (March 2008) _________________________
The whole experience was a great success and the family really enjoyed a restful time(as can be expected with two little children). The guidance that you give re booking cars, directions was superb and made the whole experience very enjoyable and although I hate the word "stress" it was stress free. Much obliged. Dan (August 2007) __________________________
Just a quick note to say thank you for allowing us to use your lovely villa - it was a home from home and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you also for the welcome pack - very much appreciated and for making everything so easy from the booking to the tourist information booklet kept in the house. Catherine, Mark, Christine and Patrick. (Aug. 2006) _____________________________________ Dear Frank , My mum and Dad arrived back today. They have asked me to e-mail you as they are at-all computer literate. They have asked me to forward on their sincere thanks for the use of your home. They haved loved eveything about your home and were especially grateful for the welcome pack and card you left for my dad's birthday. They also spoke very fondly of your housekeepers, Colin and his wife. Needless to say, we are looking forward to our turn in August. They both look extremely well and it is lovely to see them both looking so healthy and relaxed. Thanks again, Catherine (May 2006) _____________________________ We had a very pleasant stay in your house in Torrevieja. It was very nice to live in a house that felt like a home, and not just an impersonal hotel room. We are impressed with the service; the mails, maps and directions you have sent. The welcome book and the supply of breakfast was a really nice touch too. Even the weather behaved very well except for some pretty strong winds the first two days. But sitting in the patio, it was no problem to get some colour on our winter pale bellies. We dropped by Kay before leaving to say goodbye and asked if we should remove the sheets from the beds and put the dirty towels a certain place. But no, no just go and leave it all to her. Very nice indeed, since we had to leave around 5 am, to catch our plane at 7 in Alicante. If we are going to Torrevieja another time, we will not hesitate to book your house again, or to recommend it to friends and family. From Kirsten, Thim and Jonathan (Denmark) April 2006 _________________________________________________
We had a wonderful holiday and one of the main reasons for that was the fact that we had such a great place to stay. Thank you for the use of your home and the welcome Christmas bottle of champagne which was quite unexpected but much appreciated. I've already recommended your home to a few of my friends who are looking to visit Spain in the near future. Once again many thanks to you and your wife for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. Brandon (Christmas 2005) ____________
Thank you for letting us rent your house for our holiday. We truly had a great and relaxing time. Your housekeeper, Eleanor could not have been more accommodating to us. She even found some toys for our son Ethan to play with. ..If we decide to return to Spain next year for a break, then we will be in touch to see if there is availability. Amanda, Barry and little Ethan (August 2005) ___________
Dear Frank, The accommodation was spot on and we both felt that the pictures did not do your lovely home justice! It had absolutely everything we needed and the welcome pack of food was a god send as it saved us trying to find a supermarket at 2am! There were so many local amenities and shops and the local version of Asda (Mercadona) meant we could buy anything we wanted and not spend a fortune! We watched all the DVDs and chilled out with the air conditioning and sat out on the patio with the umbrella up and it was great. So peaceful and not noisy in the slightest. All in all I would definitely return as it was so nice to have somewhere clean, comfortable and peaceful to relax and enjoy ourselves in. Once again many thanks. Tina & Steve (June 2005) __________
Hi Frank, Just a quick email to thank you for the rental of El Sueno. Your holiday home was excellent value for money, clean and very well equipped with plenty of restaurants etc. and it was a pleasure to stay there. We felt very secure, the neighbours were great and the housekeeper was very helpful. Hopefully if we are going to Costa Blanca in the future we will rent again from you... Sandra & Thomas (Sept. 2004) _____________
We would like to thank you for renting us your lovely house. At the time of booking your information was always very informative. The house was wonderfully clean and comfortable. You had provided for everything to make our stay a very enjoyable especially with the lovely welcome pack. The housekeeper was both kind and helpful. God willing we hope to be able to stay again next year.... Carol (Oct. 2004)
