I am looking to stay at Assos View ...Hello Gilli, <br /><br />I am looking to stay at Assos View Villas however I have not been able to book due to the nature of how they (manager/owner) takes payment. I contacted them directly and within 30 mins I received a pleasant email from Christos. He sent me a link to where I could book. I was directed to ownersdirect.co.uk where I would get in contact with the manager Bob. After talking to Bob it was made clear that payment would be via bank transfer, no exceptions. When I asked what financial protection I received a reply stating that he ''had no idea about protection'' which obviously isn't very encouraging. <br /><br />My main question is how did you book? The apartments are incredibly beautiful and definitely the best I have seen available in Assos but I am hesitant at handing over money for something that I have no guarantee for. <br /><br />Reading your article only makes me want to stay there more, but like most people I need to make sure I am financially protected before booking.<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />Tom Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452576676641076147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938469007636214821.post-87012727475094834792016-06-01T04:18:54.252-07:002016-06-01T04:18:54.252-07:00How exciting!

Of course, you're absolutely...Thank you, Liz. <br /><br />Of course, you're absolutely right about 'romance' and, even given it's metamorphosis over the years, my use of it here is a little narrow. I know a lot of category romances these days are not just Cinderella tales about Latin billionaires and a jet set life-style. <br /><br />But it was such a lovely holiday we have already booked to go there again next year. OH has just come into the study, while I am typing this, to tell me. Woohoo! gx<br />Gilli Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234069151918319605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938469007636214821.post-81636948521083904662016-06-01T02:44:25.465-07:002016-06-01T02:44:25.465-07:00What a gorgeous place, Gilli!

A romance was once a tale of adventure, and the "romance" rather indicated its improbability. We'd probably say fantasy if that term hadn't been hi-jacked as well!<br /><br />What a fabulous family over there in Greece! Such a joy to be welcomed with that kind of warmth. Must have made a huge difference to your holiday.Elizabeth Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407958362024218785noreply@blogger.com
