Oh I see, my bad. So my proposal would be 4.8.2013 (Sunday) to 17.8.2013
(Saturday). This is one day earlier than what we talked about before.
Don't know if this change is still possible.

I guess you mean for 4880*13 = 63440 CHF we get 200 beds * 13 = 2600
guest-nights. Sure that's true. But for the same price we even get
243*13=3156 guest-nights. This is because 2600*20.10 = 52260 is lower
than the minimal price of 63440. At 3156 guest-nights the prices are
equal.
Best,
