Dear all, we confirmed your accommodation but we are unable to send you the details of your beds and roommate before your arrival. It is not that we are incapable of doing it, but it is because it is easier for us to provide you this information once you arrive. Below you can find out why. iolanda
This is the system which works best for us because we have people keeping requesting beds (even after the registration was closed - and i am sure some of you benefitted from our capacity of managing it), people changing their accommodation even 4 days ago or asking for more nights just yesterday; today we were even informed that an husband is coming we did not know about. This is happening all the time with our 738 bed. And on the other side there are all the requests of the around 100 people and hotels providing the beds. When you go to an hotel you are not informed about your room number or floor before your arrival, and if you go to an hostel you don’t have the names of your roommates. The way we are managing the accommodation in Esino Lario is not different. It is all simple shared accommodation and we are happy to do our best to make it the most welcoming. There are no surprises. We are following our plan [1] and Esino Lario is still (as 3 years ago) a remote mountain village of 761 inhabitants. Well, in a week 1761.
