other items that the French
chucked out and I retrieved at the
vide-greniers," laughs Samantha.
Outside, she added a swimming
pool and 'cabana' pool house, that
carries on the uber-comfortable
style and palette with low-slung
sofas, throws and cushions and
it is the perfect place to sink into
for a sun-downer. There's also a
sail-covered terrace ideal for an
alfresco lunch, and two partlyrestored
outbuildings that could be
run as gîtes.
Many happy guests (some
through AirBnB) have enjoyed
such well-designed comforts. "We
achieved €50,000 in rentals in
2019," she says. "But we used the
property for five weeks ourselves,
which is worth around another
€15,000." In high season it rents
for €3,700 per week.
Part of the success is the way
she has promoted the property on
Instagram - people see the images
and instantly covet the property
and the lifestyle it offers. But this
requires hard work and expertise
to work well - Samantha has over
40,000 followers on her personal
account (vintagecuratorinteriors)
