HI Lesley,
Thank you for getting back again. Yes I understand you are booking for the two girls. The
Cooking Vacation package is inclusive of accommodation ins a double share room. The cost of
the package is 2300 euro pp and if you would like to have the whole house for you without
sharing with other guest, then just add the 300 euro supplement each and you need not pay for the
house separately (The house actually costs 1575 euro + Final cleaning fee of 75 euro.),
Warm Regards,
Sharmila..
