Aldo, how do you do it?

Using press and magazine advertising, brochures, mailings - old hat or still cost-effective?

Aldo, how do you do it?

I just read a write up of your place in the Guardian today - you should have punters beating down the door to stay at your place. Do you have a personal contact at the Grauniad?

Another fab article (again) Aldo, and much deserved. Your interior photography is a fine example to follow. I've made notes for when I get my shiny new camera!

Wish we could run to the standard of accessories though!!

Thanks for the link, GG!

Aldo, what a fab place, so stylish. Love it - the bookings should come rolling in (if you're not already full, that is... 8) )

Aldo, what a spectacular place - you should be very proud !

Your guests can even enjoy original works of art and we worry about leaving out a few nick-nacks !

I hope they all treat it with the respect it deserves and the worse you ever experience is the odd towel hiccup :lol:


Congrats again.

Well done, Aldo. Our neighbour in Glenridding has a simple marketing strategy. They placed one advert in the Guardian years ago (and I mean like 15-20 years ago) and they've been pretty fully ever since.

Go for it ..... 8)

Gorgeous house Aldo, in your gallery the middle picture of the kitchen doesn't load. Thought you may like to know. Wish my house was as stunning, will have to get more business!!
