My sister in France has offered her gite as accommodation for refugees. She thought it was worth giving up the income in order to support a family. Note: She doesn't have YouTube or Patreon income as a fall back.

Now, it's one thing to have a bad experience at a hotel or BnB or whatever... any traveller knows that tit happens when you are in unfamiliar surroundings..
But to get attitude from a delusional petulant man-child with dreadful personality... that boils my blood!
It's not only that their freezing crumbling farmhouse is a terrible accommodation... But every single one of them is pushing the boundaries of asshole-ness! What I wouldn't pay for an actual investigative journalist to go under cover in that shitto and expose their scam. $500,000/year is big enough to get them a Netflix special

Maybe Alex Polizzi, who has done a series on TV, called The Hotel Inspector, needs to drop in. She doesn't take many prisoners, but is usually correct in her recommendations. As an outsider she looks at places with new eyes. She has refused to stay overnight in one establishment .......once the place was cleaned up, she did, and reaped praise on the owner for his genuine hardworking ethic, and willingness to succeed.
I'd love to to be a fly on the wall if she dropped by....
I had to google "snowdropper" Who knew that was a thing?!
I've just watched the Venetian palazzo tour. It would have been greatly improved without SJ's flailing arms and exaggerated hand movements. She is simply hopeless as a presenter, interrupting and interjecting inconsequential and, frankly, rather dim comments.
Signor Palazzo seemed both bemused and amused at her heroic efforts to be a culture vulture.
imagine if chandeliers at the ramshackle farmhouse were taken apart to be cleaned properly. Three years on and the pieces would remain on the floor.
As for the party... What a rum do. Plus ça change, plus c'est ia même chose. Enforced gaiety whilst dressed like extras in a third rate period drama. Quite, quite ghastly. And pointless. I hope they got a good feed elsewhere after the-ball-that-wasn't, as the few plates of random antipasti looked a very meagre and dull spread.

I guess after Boondoggle, this is our second word of the dayI had to google "snowdropper" Who knew that was a thing?!
Snowdropper (n.)
A person who steals women’s underwear off clothes lines and masturbates into them.
PhiPhi's honours are never ending!
Oh my! I googled it, too!I had to google "snowdropper" Who knew that was a thing?!
I expect most if not all tattlers find them annoying to read through, as do I. But for me it’s worth it to achieve the goal of topping out search engine results with CD threads re: the shitto and the charlataine.
I am American and my small community is collecting funds to donate for the Ukraine. Meanwhile granny Fanny us hoisting her boobs higher
Granny Fanny and her décolletage, talk about trying to make mountains out of molehills ! 
@lolair Out of curiosity, did your friend leave a review of her terrible experience on social media anywhere? Travelocity, Booking.com, etc.? Many of us here have looked at guest reviews of the farmhouse and the ones in English are “glowing.” Wondering if she left an honest review and it was possibly deleted? 
Or did she not write one? (If it had been me, I certainly would have!!!)

I'm very curious to know if the disappointed Patrons after their stay at Chateau de Lalande do actually write a review on the different platforms (booking.com, TripAdivsor, Facebook, etc) ?
Do they express their feelings on the Patrons Whatsapp group ? On Chateau de Lalande related Facebook pages ?

A new channel popped up on my feed today... I like their intro, quite relatable LOL
Also, they have 2 donkeys, one of which they rescued from being slaughtered and made into salami!!
I think I am now considering becoming a vegetarian...

@missartemis Welcome back! I am so sorry to hear more of your horrifying experience at that hell hole. You pulling back the curtain has really solidified what we have long suspected. I certainly can understand you crying yourself to sleep you must have felt so isolated and so unwelcomed. To be in the middle of nowhere, not speaking the language and those no nothings to be so disrespectful and dismissive. They are the epitome of “mean girls”. Thinking they are special somehow by their misguided notions of the importance of the “witch” in residence and her court. No curtains, no privacy, no physical or emotional comfort offered.
Glad you had at least moments of camaraderie from those that weren’t under the spell. She only appreciates the new, the young, the pretty(her version of it) or if you somehow can benefit her. That treatment you received from that snot nose wannabe really irks me. Hope he has his reality soon as well as the rest of them. Glad that at least Amaury stepped up for you.

Ahahahaha, that's right! They even cut in half the "frittelle" (I don't remember which strange name she used for them), a thing never seen before! They are just a morsel. What a parsimony! Was it because renting the palazzo and the rest had drained her montly Patreon allowance? Or because that was enough to offer to her subordinates?
The one that stretched my understanding of normal hospitality was the “There’s only one Stephanie around here; what else can we call you?” (Nati allegedly to a guest at check-in named Stephanie)Thankyou. So many posts since i was last up to date which was why I asked. We're told Ian has hernia problems but he's been gone ages so assumed he had sidled off somewhere
I'm way behind but had read the post you refer to. It doesnt make any sense to me at all that people would go there, be treated like that and not make any formal complaints of any description. Doesnt ring true to me. I can understand the place being a bit below usual standards of a travel lodge but saying or doing nothing when spoken to as stated sorry i dont believe it would be accepted and they would continue their stay there,
