Renovating a gîte property in France whilst welcoming guests

from The Gîte Podcast · host rupertspringfield

Natasha and Tony bought a large property in the Dordogne in 2024, the majority of which was just a shell. They opened 2 small gîtes whist renovating the rest, which they hope to open in 2026. We talk about doing the renovations yourselves, getting discounts on building materials, their social life, who their guests are, and what they think of their new life in France - which you will be able to watch on TV next year! I loved the fact that they were also so honest about the challenge living and working together in a new country, and what that has meant for their relationship. https://latrilogiedor.com/ https://www.giteguru.com/ https://lemasdordogne.com/
