BOOKINGS ARE NOW ACCEPTED VIA PM TO ME.
I have a great privilege to invite you all to Malla Autumn Retreat, the premier opportunity to experience The Bitcoin Castle and the beautiful Estonian ruska-zeit.
The event length is 6 days to make it easier for you to arrange flights and stuff. You only pay per night, so feel free to join us for any time you wish, to taste the "perpetual conference" atmosphere that is breaking forth in the place! This is the unique opportunity to combine leisure with intrigue, business with indulgence, and spice it up with travels to St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Tallinn, and rural Estonia.
The Bitcoin Castle is developing. We have recently constructed 4 new hotel rooms in the outbuildings and set up a kitchen and breakfast/dinner hall in the Manor + the new Cigar cabinet.
Until this September event, we will have claimed 400 square meters from the main building, with a renovated entrance and front double staircase, furnished lobby, restaurant with a kitchen, cloakroom and cigar room, curtains, panelling, heating and a toilet. It may sound humble but they are very needed improvements, what everybody who's actually been there can readily confirm.
Our regular capacity is 20 guests at a time. In addition many of the staff are participating the conference and overflow rooms can be arranged.

We have two room classes, Premium and Standard. Premium rooms (Romantic Double and Business Twin) are in a separate stone-built house and totally rebuilt in June 2014. Romantic Doubles have a king-size bed, tiled floors throughout, massive wood furniture, in-room jacuzzi, and separate bathroom. Business Twins have 2*90cm bed, parquet flooring and a nice tiled bath. Premium Rooms also have privileged service in our concierge etc.
Standard Double/Twin rooms are in the upstairs of the wooden house. They are not large, but will undergo a renovation that completes just before this event. Shared bath is in the same floor.
"Bed only" room class is in our Dormitory, which is mostly suitable for short-term stay. Shared bath, jacuzzi and sauna right next to the room.
Pricing is dynamic according to the demand. Currently we offer very low prices to get the reservations going, and later on the capacity will be allocated to the highest bidder. Note that reservations are to be paid instantly, and are non-refundable. All prices are shown below in BTC.

Our acclaimed Breakfast includes sparkling wine, and is priced at 0.04. Dinner (3 courses) is 0.06, except if a Grand Dinner is organized, then it is 0.1. They are added automatically to your prepayable amount for your stay. During the Summer Retreat we enjoyed a 14-course Grand Dinner with wines, to celebrate the engagement of Roni Blomberg and Rong Wang. The event lasted for 6 hours.
Lunch is voluntary from the café or local eateries (0.006-0.03). All drinks are billed. The wine cellar has about 40 different wines for all tastes and budgets, ranging from 0.04 to BTC1 and over. The cigar list has 20 cigars ranging from 0.006 to 0.16.
As has been the custom in the previous Malla events, the event itself is free-of-charge, so there is no area fee or conference fee. This is meant to encourage local attendance.
