Overnight: eight hours as one block, and the answer to midnight

The overnight is a single booking of eight hours, with a start and a finish both written into the confirmation. One guest with one therapist pays EUR 1,250. With two therapists for one guest it is EUR 2,880. For a couple sharing one therapist it is EUR 2,500, and for a couple with a therapist each it is EUR 5,760. Half goes ahead on any date of the year, so on a peak date nothing further is added.

Why it matters on the thirty-first

On New Year's Eve the hours close to midnight are harder to keep than at any other time of year, because the streets are full and public transport stops for a time. An overnight that starts in the evening, before the crowds build, removes the problem. She arrives while the streets are still passable, and midnight happens with her already in the room.

What the eight hours are

They are a block of time, not eight hours of continuous massage. What the session includes, and how the hours are paced, is hers to decide; she says at the start what it includes, and her limits hold throughout. Most overnights include rest and sleep.

Other event nights

An overnight also suits a guest who wants the whole evening after a performance, or the last night of a festival trip, to be one arrangement with nothing to plan around. It is fixed well in advance on a peak date: four to six weeks for the thirty-first. The New Year page gives worked figures for the eve.
