Again, thank you all!
Yesterday I tried to have a comment for my proposal (8% for 1 week, 12% for 2 weeks) from the English lady but did not hear from her.
I just wrote to an Italian family that enquired (from Subito . it) about the 1st week and I have to write to 2 French families (from Homelidays and MediaVacances).
I am typing with my finger crossed...
PS: Olive explained very well my point of view. My guests share a common garden, kids play together and parents will chat and also have dinner together!

I realised that Olive but it was a fun exercise all the same!

Tizfata and Olive - if two holidaymakers are comparing notes by the pool, and find they have paid different rates, there can only be one reason and that is that the one paying the lower rate was a late booker?

Anyone who likes to live on a knife edge for the sake of a bargain takes a risk when waiting until the last minute before searching for a holiday. People who have benefited in this way surely also explain to the less fortunate how their special rate came about? :)

So, what did happen at last?
A German family was more than happy to book the apartment for 10 days for 1035 euro. I am happier this way, I have more time for changeover and it is more difficult to compare rates.
But (I hope) LESSON LEARNED! I was SO willing to have those weeks booked that I though they were even if the guy disappeared from my sight before paying the deposit. He was from Switzerland. What happend to the Swiss reputation?!?!!?
:D
Thank you all for your advice!

"What happend to the Swiss" they have a reputation for banking. We all know what happened to the Bankers.
