A Year of Major Challenges Running a Gîte in France

from The Gîte Podcast · host rupertspringfield

You hope for a smooth season for your gîte (holiday accommodation) in France, but what happens when one thing after another goes wrong? How do you cope with challenging guests, swarming bees, arguments with your insurance and difficult guests.  Unfortunately, that's the reality Neil and David faced this year with their gîte Domaine de la Banne near Belvès in France.  We talk about their revenue, occupancy, costs, trust, safety and working and living as a couple.  https://www.labanne.fr/ https://www.giteguru.com/ https://lemasdordogne.com/
