Why does the woman call Villa Rentals?

M: Hello. Villa Rentals, can I help you?
W: Hello. You see, my husband and ! are looking for a holiday villa and we heard that you have some nice places, in Ischia.
M: Yes, Madam. We’ ve got several villas on offer in Ischia. How many people would there be in your party?
W: Well, there’ s just the family. My husband and the three children.
M: A party of five, then, yes. And when and how long would you want to be there?
W: It would have to be in September. Actually, the first two weeks in September.
M: Then we’ ve only got one place free, Madam, but it’ s a very beautiful one—the Villa del Mont. It’ s set on a hilltop with a big garden and a beautiful view out over the sea towards Naples.
W: How many rooms has it got?
M: Well, on the ground floor there are two double bedrooms, both of them beautifully decorated plus respective bathrooms. Then, still on the ground floor, there’ s a large kitchen, a large dining room and a very big outside terrace. And then upstairs, it’ s got a very large sitting room with windows all around, and a back garden with a big swimming pool.
W: What about the distances—is it far from the town? Do you think we need a ear?
M: Actually, we do normally advise people to hire a ear.
W: And how much would a smallish car cost?
M: You know, for a Metro, Renault 5 or Ford Fiesta—nothing grand. For a Fiesta, it would be about 80 pounds a week.
W: And for the house for those two weeks?
M: For the period of September 4th till the 17th, inclusive, it would cost 570 pounds per person for the two weeks, including the return airfare.
W: By the way, can I see some photographs of this place or something. Can you arrange that?
M: Of course, Madam. We’ ye got a video of it, so anytime you care to come in you could see it.
