Some of the issues that I had include:
1. I can't see the link to close the popup calendars easily (seems like it is part of the background)
2. the popup calendar should be the overview for the current month instead of the mini popup screen shot (more a personal preference though)

Apart from that I like it, it's easy to use and presents the information clearly. The blue and black work for me too.

I think it's pretty neat. The style kind of fits with the simple, modern look of the apartments. And the little blue line that goes back and forth in the menu links is cool too.
Like Mr Spork, I also write about my interest in alcoholic beverages.

I love it. Stylish, simple, effective, with nothing superfluous. just find it a little strange that the scroll on the gallery page is disabled (i.e. it is used to scroll through the images rather than to move the page) - I see you've aligned it so that scroll is not necessary because the header nav is still visible when you are looking at the pictures from the gallery - but somehow on my first go I managed to go lower down the page and then couldn't get back up....... no big deal, there's always the browser's 'back' button, but it just threw me for a second...............

it's really a great site though.

Good site - I like the colourful photos and descriptions. The one thing that strikes me is that you don't explain exactly where the flat is i.e.: which country? I'm assuming it's in Spain. Are you advertising it in any holiday brochures?

Good luck

No it's Split, in Croatia. I guess it couldn't hurt to have the word 'Croatia' on there somewhere.....

I'm impressed. Everything looks cool.

What script did you use in your gallery? Is it free?

The calendar feature is a very good one. However, I think that the close link should be more visible.

I think that the location part has a bug. When I click on it on the "...click here to view...." and then after the square pops out, I scrolled my mouse. Then I just get a white square instead of the picture.

Thanks for checking guys, I've taken on board a few suggestions.

The gallery script is great, and it is free:

Not sure what the bug is, I've tried doing that a few times on both my test PC's and it works fine.

I've tried to get that 'close' to be more prominent, but I can't for the life of me find how to do it (it's in the Greybox scripts somewhere, but the css file doesn't seem to affect it).

Nice clean design...I also like the moving line across the menu navigation.

Another way to view images in a gallery of pictures without clicking on the image is mouse hover.

Not to say mine is best, but just another option without clicking the image.

See mouse hover here: http://rogerphilpot.com/Coalminerpicturespage6.html

P.S.Would you share the code for the menu navigation highlight
