Preparing for winter: low season, heating and damage

Preventing damage

Have the boiler or heat pump serviced, bleed the radiators, check the seals and the drains. A property left empty for several days needs monitoring, especially in frost or storms.

Controlling heating

A smart thermostat lets you lower the temperature between stays and raise it before arrival. Guests walk into a warm home, without the bill spiralling.

Filling the low season

In Bordeaux, demand stays steadier all year round than on the Bassin. Adjust your prices, reduce the minimum stay midweek and offer rates for longer stays.

Think about the festive season too: those dates are often booked early.
