Your success is our success
Running a gîte isn’t just about being hospitable. You need to be a marketeer, an interior designer, a gardener, a bookkeeper, a cleaner, an account manager and a guide. For most of us, it takes years before we have mastered all of these skills.
At Gîte Guru, we can get you there quicker, by sharing the expertise and knowledge we have gained running a successful gîte business. Hearing that our clients are getting return bookings is just as satisfying as getting our own!
We, Rupert and Franck, run Le Mas & Le Mazet in the Dordogne. We measure its success by the occupancy rate, and by the fact that 75% of our bookings after 5 years are returning guests.

We are thrilled to be featured in The Sunday Times Homes section, talking about Le Mas & Le Mazet and about advising our Gîte Guru clients about running holiday homes in France.
