[Idyllchat] response time from Lake Garda sites

[Russell Crum]

A couple years ago I started making hotel reservations in Italy in  
December. As I recall, the response time was mixed but generally  
within a few days although there were some I never heard from.  In  
all cases I was emailing the hotel directly.
