Recall how many guests you received during the first year of running your business? Was it more or less than you expected?

Hi Sergei and thanks for bringing up wonderful memories!!!

 

The first year it was an amazing experience for me...

Living in a rural place nobody believed that guests would visit The Adam’s Studio in Oropos....

 

What an incredible surprise not only for me but for the whole neighborhood (3 houses)...

Thanks to BDC I had 9 wonderful guests...excellent reviews...adorable people...still have contact with some of them.

 

A lifetime experience for me and my family...

I can relate to you Maria. Hosting in a rural area is so different from hosting in a big city. 

We have space......and can see stars at night, laugh till late, no worries, no neighbours    (3 km further yes  haha)  

Quiet nights, no trains, buses, planes, cars, motors, just the wind, or the rain. It is great to see some people coloring our days. 

 

Have a great day Maria. We're off to bed. Night night.

Dear Ella,

Yes hosting in rural areas is another story...

We love having guests....we treat them as family...

Quiet nights....crickets and harvest flies cannot stop their live songs...roosters cannot stop crowing early in the morning...birds sing all day long...chickens, hens, goats....around us , nature everywhere...

Some guests even love our two dogs and ask to take them in their rooms...

Sleep tight Ella...we are gone have our lunch now...
