Hi VT, There is a fund available to help small businesses affected by the virus epidemic. Basically they give a grant of 1500€ if the earnings in 2020 are less than 70% of 2019 earnings. You'll find a link below. Good luck https://www.secu-independants.fr/action-sociale/aide-coronavirus/?fbclid=IwAR...

Gillian, that sounds a real nightmare, I am so sorry to hear the problems you have had. We seem to have got off lightly (so far) although our smaller gites had water coming through the roof where the wind had blown the water up under the tiles (new, replaced last year). Luckily our guests had left t...

I am not sure what you mean by advertising on Google maps but you can place information about your villa on Google maps by setting up a Google my business account, which will allow you to add information regarding your villa to Google maps. It's free. Have a look at https://www.google.com/intl/ALL_s...

I am with the others, running your pool for just 2 hours a day is insufficient, we have been running our pool for over 6 years and have never had a problem. When we took it over we were given this table to equate water temp to pump time. Water Temp °C Hours 0 -12 --------------- 2 13 - 16 ----------...

Hi Gillian, how awful, my heart goes out to you, we all get these type of guests from time to time and they make our lives a misery, don't let them spoil it for the rest of your guests though. I do hope that Drax isn't right as to the cause of the stain, I would have thought that if it was faeces yo...

Another thing we do is to ask those with kids to put to one side any of the old inflatables they find which are u/s, or their ones which they puncture, so that we can dispose of them correctly. Hi Cricé, can you advise how to dispose of them correctly? We have been putting ours in the recycling bin.

Hi Geoff, My initial thoughts are that if you are selling the property rather than the business then there should be no special tax considerations. If you are selling the business, part of which includes the property then there may well be some special considerations. Just my (uninformed) opinion. H...
