Hey Steve,
Just wanted to let you know we'll be arriving at the 10th of May, late in the again. We had to book with Sunweb again, because only getting a flight to Crete from here is a problem.
Looking forward to seeing you all, hope everyone's ok and now you can't say we didn't tell you in advance we were coming.

Hi Steve, Maria and Leo!
How are you?
Last year in the end of May I had great hollidays with my husband Andrew in your hotel!

If it is possible, could you please send me of***ial letter with confirmation. I need it to the Embassy to obtain the visa.
Thank you in advance.

Tatiana & Andy hi. It is so nice to hear you. I am fine and so is the rest of the team. Its always nice to hear news from my guests and its extra nice to hear that we will meet again.
I have said it many times, but I don’t think I can say it enough… how rewarding it is and how it transforms my work into a wonderful living experience, when my guests return.
I think after the thought of my children, it is the most "smile producing" feeling.
Its funny I mention my kids when I thought of you. I think its because you first entered my heart through the paternal door, when you decided to stay overnight in another city and the cleaning ladies told me that the beds were not slept in that night. After some detective work I discovered you had rented a motor bike and went on a trip... and the fatherly worrying started. Many many calls to hospitals and police stations later you appeared… totally unaware of all the commotion. We were all so relieved.
I may have over-reacted and we may look back on our little story and laugh, as we did then, but I will never stop worrying, because many times, my concern made the difference between an adventure and a pleasantly memorable holiday.
Of course I can send you a confirmation for travel visa. You can contact me at info @ bella-casita.com for the details.
Unless you make a long holiday though it is usually cheaper with the travel agency because the tour operators manage to keep the transfer costs high for you and me.
A big hug from me to keep you warm until you get here, Steve

Marjan and Peter, many many warm greetings. I hope you are always well.
Remember you ? !
How can I forget the Grand Marshall of my parade ?, the great evenings we spent together, your always cheerful state of mind, or the heart to heart conversations we had.
So, I see you will be opening my parade again this year. I think I may just give you the keys and you can open the place for me every year.
Health and happiness for you and the boys. My love is with you, till we meet again (very soon now!).

Pavel my dear dear friend ! How long has it been? Almost 2 years I think.
Sorry I didn’t see your post till now. After a long break from work, it was a pleasant surprise to hear from you. I am back in and around the office trying to get myself into the summer mode and ready to greet my extended family again this year... the Bella Casita family of which you are an honoured member.
Our adventure has become a B.C. trademark of the incredible relationship that sometimes is born through a very short but very meaningful encounter.
I must admit that the unfortunate situation you found yourself in during your stay was one of a few that finalized in my mind what direction Bella Casita would take.
It was obvious to me how important it is, in a dificult situation, to have someone “of your own” as they say in Greece, to help you through.
It is easy to make friends when your drinking and having fun. But when things get serious and unpleasant quickly, you realize how important it is to have someone truly by your side. You told me this on your last night, after everything was back to normal, and I will never forget it.
I have been on the receiving end of support from honestly caring people, thankfully, many times and although it is clearly a nice feeling to receive, it cannot compare to offering.
Your wishes seem to have been heard… I had a wonderful winter with my family. I hope you also are well, my love to Ekaterina, Vera and Alex

Hey Steve
Now it must be about time for at note for you! Thank you for such at nice sunny holliday at Bella Casita:o) Hope your doing super and the family is ok! We come home to Denmark for 5 degrease, wind and the weather raport says snow for the weekend ;o/ I´m working at the hospital the whole weekend so no big deal how the weather is for me. I´m living at a little town (20.000 inhabitans) called Kalundborg 50 km from Slagelse hospital where I´m working. Kjeld lives in this town so I can stay whith him and sawe time instead of driving my car for 45 minutes.
I told the Pilates women about me Krete plan next october the 5. The all love the idea so next step is to find flight tickets and give them and ecact price. Whar did you say that name was "Apollo seachs?" for flight tickets?
big hug, Gitte

Hi Gitte, nice to hear you are well and back into your routine. That is a good thing, because I know you love what you do, just like me
As far as I know its called Apollo Flex. Eventually you should be able to book a flight and/or transfer and/or a room through them. You choose what you want to do. However I cannot find anyone responsible there, yet, to give me details. So you will have to wait a little more for that. Of course you can find flights via many other paths also. All you have to do is get yourself on Crete... I'll take care of the rest.
My last guests are leaving tonight, so Ill start looking for Pilates mats after next week.
Say hi to Kjeld for me.
Many sunny 20C greetings to the both of you.

Hey guys ! Although we have spoken on the phone, I think it is proper to thank you publicly for your gorgeous calendar and of course your loyal love and caring over the years.
The choice of photos for the calendar was fantastic ! If it wasnt for the December shot of us all together (the best one ) anyone would think its a professional photo shoot.
If I dont see you this year, I wish you both the best of health and happiness till next time,
XX Steve
Leonardo just popped in the office and sends his regards too.

HEY !
Great news ! I missed the booking. It came in December with a big batch and I typed it in, without thinking... didnt notice the names.
It will be real nice to see you both again. Didnt excpect you so early in the season. You made a good choice to come now. This is my favorite season. Much quieter... more human... slower paces.
If I can do anything for you before you arrive, just ask... otherwise I will have to think of something myself.
See u soon, big hug, sloppy kiss... oh, and a slap on the back for Chret (dont want to set him off before he gets here)
