I am an Australian national with many European connections, particularly in France and GB.I have lived in France for over 6 years and my two children were born in Paris.
I have worked in Senior Management in USA/NYC & Finance & again on relocation to the UK. In addition to a varied career and life, my last (and still) professional work is in Medical Administration.
I and my family have long experience with renting properties, 25+ years, both short term and long term. The most successful and interesting of which was rental over many seasons for the Wimbledon Fortnight to Tennis Officials and the Top-seeded Tennis Players. All very exciting and hugely demanding as a Landlord.
I find that there plenty to occupy oneself, my family and friends with outddoor activities and visits to the museums here in PO and in Spain. In addition, I have friends in the region, both French, Catalan and English speaking and find everyone very welcoming and encouraging. We at the Residence frequently have informal gatherings to discuss how to best look after our guests, exchange advice and information. We can then recommend guests to our friends, knowing they will get the same quality, if our own apartment is already booked for their dates.
I have been renting properties/Gites from other owners (mostly French) for over 40 years in France, so have a good knowledge of 'how it works" I feel.
I can speak reasonable French, though sometimes with an Ozzie accent it has lead to some interesting interpretations!!
I am very keen that the property is well maintained & that guests are impressed and pleased with the quality of the furnishings and equipment. I chose this Residence also due to it's high standards & proximity to many interesting areas. It is considered a 'luxury' Residence according to French standards.
