Down to Business  |
I fell in love with this book within the first two pages. Barbara Notarius begins her description of our Dream House with, "when my ex-husband and I bought our house". So, will going into business take you to the divorce courts?This is actually a superb, thoughtful exploration of how to start a B&B business. Remember, its a business, not a hobby. Anecdotal in style, it has a distinctly feminine flavour - it takes a good look at the relationships involved in a B&B. Your business, remember, is not simply about providing a warm bed and meal - the challenge is to relate to your guests, communicate with them, and provide human warmth. This book contains a wealth of practical information - checklists, how-to advice, ideas, opportunities, and a run through of the many adventures youre likely to face. The customer relations and marketing chapters are of particular value - well worth a read, even if youve been running a B&B for some time. Notarius has sound advice for getting to know your area and incorporating local history and local resources into the services you offer. The aim, after all, is to transform that overnight stay (whether its for business or pleasure) into a memorable experience; give your guests that added value and theyll appreciate having a warm, homely base from which to operate. Read and learn.

Excellent reference book for buying in France  |
|
Excellent reference book for anyone thing of taking the first steps towards buying either a new or old property in France.
|
Does not address the issues facing a potential purchaser.  |
Although titled buying a home in France, the bulk of the book has very little to do with buying a home and devotes more time to areas like how to get a work permit or how to put your children in a French school etc. Further,the book appears to be a free advert for any lawyers etc. that have any connection to France.
