Lay My Hat

Loved the house so much it actually got us thinking about moving to Andalucia and we are thinking it might be a very good move ! Our own b&b (near Collioure on the Med close to Catalonia) is for sale at present. If it sells soon, I will definitely contact you for a visit.

What about the Pyrénées Orientales (my neck of the wood). It is a gorgeous area (sea and mountains and stunning scenery) with a culture all of its own (it is French Catalonia). The art scene is vibrant and Spain is just over the border. Basically you get two countries for the price of one ! pm me if...

For personal reasons, we are selling our house, an old winery built into the medieval castle wall in a quiet village near Collioure and 12km from the sea. It has 7 bedrooms (4 en suites), large living spaces (65 sqm living room, 30 sqm atrium) and a mature garden with swimming pool. It is recommende...

No. The law is strict on that point. To run a place as a b&b, the owners have to be living on site (although the b&b can be in an annex to the house), breakfast must be included in the price and there cannot be more than 5 bedrooms (for a maximum of 15 people). The b&b must be registered...

Collioure, Port-Vendres and Banyuls all have bars, restaurants and shops open all year round (and beautiful scenery all around as the Albères range is a protected area). Very close to the Spanish border to add another dimension (it isn't the 'France profonde'). I may be a bit biased

This is delivered by the service des douanes. There are strict guidelin...

Hello

bedandbreakfast.com seems very expensive (from 21.99 dollars/month). Is the return really worth it?

france-pittoresque.com is pretty good too.

Hello, The best website for French b&bs is www.pour-les-vacances (it is cheap too). However I notice that your website is in English only. As pour-les-vacances is mostly used by French people and the site has very limited details of the properties as it sends the visitors directly to their own w...

I registered. I like the site format. Good luck with it.

Accueillir magazine website has a section for selling (and buying) b&b and gîtes (http://www.accueillir-magazine.com/cham ... s-d-hotes/). You could also try http://www.bellespierres.com/

Good luck with the sale (lovely property!).

Hello,

This is the number: 08 11 65 35 35. But normally they also need the contract no. Hopefully they'll be able to find you with your name & address of the property. Good luck!
