Many people don’t think about advertising their property until their project is almost finished and ready to go. When you are working on developing a holiday home it is never too early to set up social media pages and a website for it. Bring your property to potential clients attention early in the process. Let people see how the work is going, what your ideas are and let people share the journey with you. Even ask them for their opinions or ideas so that they develop a connection to you and your house and even feel they may have had an influence on the final outcome. By the time you house is ready for rental you should have a large number of people who can wait to come and stay at your place as they already know property and have seen all the hard work that has gone into it.
As winter approaches it will soon be time to think about closing your pool down. If your old cover is worn out and needs replacing or you have a new pool with no cover then we can help out. We now have a range of covers available to order from our offices in Locorotondo.
Our basic cover is 235rg/mq and comes with retaining straps and water sacks to hold it in place.
Pool size 4m x 8m – €488
Pool size 5m x 10m – €610
Pool size 6m x 12m – €854
Other sizes and weights are available so please contact us if you have any questions.
Land
When buying property here it is very tempting purchase a whole chunk of land to go with it as land here is very cheap, but it may be a good idea to think twice before doing so. It is a lovely idea to own your own Olive grove with the dream of producing your own olive oil especially as the vendor knows someone who will look after the land for you completely free as long as he can have a percentage of the Olive oil for his services. Almost sounds to good to be true doesn’t it. While these arrangements do exist in many circumstances they don’t last and can often cause problems if you want to change the arrangements at a later date. There is also a law here that if someone works the land for a certain number of years they can stake a legal claim to it so be careful. Land needs looking after and that will cost money and will not really add anything to the rental potential of your property and will obviously eat into your profits. Offering your guests the opportunity to wander through 10,000 square mtrs of Olive grove or Oak forest sounds nice but in reality they won’t, especially in the heat of the summer. Yes, you will be able to produce some wonderful olive oil but the costs involved in this means that it is far cheaper to go and buy a few litres from the frantoia rather than making your own but even if you don’t want to harvest the olives the trees will still need to be pruned and the land around them maintained especially as we are now in the days of xyella.
Obviously, if your budget is huge, money is no object or you are looking to create an agriturismo style property then go ahead, there is plenty of land available.

Adding a conservatory or an enclosed pergola gives your quests some outside space to sit in during the cooler spring and winter evenings. It also means they can enjoy the outdoor space even when the weather is cold or wet which is very welcome as trulli can be quite dark inside when the sun isn’t shining.
Many of our clients like to manage their own advertising either through there own websites or through the various advertising sites available such as Owners Direct or Airbnb. However, after the initial booking has been made there is still quite a lot that needs to be done before the guests actually arrive at the property to start their holiday. Organising final payments, arrival times, guests names and passport details are just a few of the things that need to be done and even though your guests are looking forward to their holiday it is not always top of their priorities to provide all the information required before they arrive.
One of the services we provide is to manage the booking process for you. Once you have secured the booking we then ensure that all the relevant information is received, all their flight information and arrival details are logged so that everything is ready for your guests when they arrive. We are also able to ensure that they have all our details, contact numbers etc before they leave home so that they know that they can contact us if things do not go according to plan.

Algiklean is a double action product that combats algae and also makes the water crystal clear at the same time. It can be used with saline chlorine generators, as a base algaecide at the start of the season and as a shock treatment for algal blooms during the season. Algiklean is compatible with super chlorination, does not produce scum or foam and contains no metal ions. It is also suitable for the elimination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus.
There are several different types of algae but not all anti algae products will deal with all types. Algiblack rapidly eliminates all kinds of algae that grow in swimming pools but are especially suitable for combating black, yellow and brown algae and the pool can be used immediately after the product has been added.
Algibon is a versatile multifunction product that helps maintain water quality by improving water clarity, discourages growth of algae and repels insects. It is possibly one of the best maintenance algicides on the market.
We are now suppliers of the complete range of Piscimar pool chemicals and products. For anyone that really cares about the quality of their pool water then these are the products to choose. We also offer a pool water analysis service and are more than happy to visit your pool and check everything over for you and recommend the best products for your needs.
