Valentine's Day: play the romance card!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Couples are bound to get away for a romantic weekend. For the occasion, they may well choose a bed and breakfast or an Airbnb rental. Surprise them by creating an idyllic setting and leaving them with a wonderful memory of their stay!

Leave nothing to chance. You already know it: the couple have escaped the hassles of everyday life to spend time alone and in private. So don't turn their stay into a burden by leaving them with faulty household appliances that will only make life difficult during their stay. Give them a clean, well-kept home by seeing to every last detail before you welcome them.

Discover our to-do list so you forget nothing before welcoming your guests:

Your Airbnb To Do List, for perfect organisation!

Make them as comfortable as possible. If you offer a cleaning service, do say so: your loved-up guests will be more than delighted. Provide cotton sheets that are spotlessly clean and matched to the rest of the bedding. And don't forget the towels and toiletry sets. If you have a jacuzzi, switch it on and check it works well in advance. If you have a bathtub, leave out some bath bombs or bath salts. Get the essential massage oils out too. Make sure they want for nothing, especially in the kitchen (salt, coffee, oil, sugar, butter, etc.)

What's more, your guests are sure to have long evenings, so why not spoil them with breakfast in bed?

It's this way:

Breakfast in bed for your guests: meet Baguette à bicyclette.

Fill your home with a romantic atmosphere. Stick to the theme! Bring out the throws, get hold of some room mists and scented candles. Add a bouquet of flowers to your chest of drawers.

And don't forget the little extras that make a welcome truly special (a box of chocolates, a bottle of champagne, etc.) Think about welcome kits

StyQR makes their stay more enjoyable. Finally, give them a digital welcome book. They'll easily find the wifi code, along with the door codes, practical information, insider tips and useful numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my property for a Valentine's Day couple? Start by checking that all appliances work correctly and the property is spotless. Then focus on the details: clean, coordinating linens, towels, toiletries, and if you have a bathtub or hot tub, test them beforehand and prepare appropriate accessories. The goal is for the couple to have nothing to worry about during their stay.

What are the small touches that make a difference for a romantic stay? The touches that create lasting memories are simple but thoughtful: a bouquet of flowers on the dresser, scented candles, cozy blankets, and why not a box of chocolates or a bottle of champagne. If you offer a housekeeping service, highlight it. Breakfast in bed is also highly appreciated by couples seeking intimacy.

Do I need specific equipment for a Valentine's Day couple? Basic amenities remain the same, but make sure everything works perfectly: heating, hot water, bedding. If you have a hot tub or bathtub, ensure they are in working order. Prepare bath salts and massage essential oils to provide that extra comfort that couples appreciate.

How do I make practical information accessible for a weekend couple? Provide a digital welcome guide containing all useful information: access codes, WiFi passwords, emergency numbers, local tips, addresses of romantic activities nearby. This allows the couple to easily access this information without having to contact you during their stay.

What atmosphere should I create for a romantic getaway? Choose simple yet elegant elements: room sprays, scented candles, cozy blankets, fresh flowers. Stay consistent with a romantic theme while avoiding jarring elements. The atmosphere should invite relaxation and intimacy, without feeling overly staged or forced.

Should I mention housekeeping in my listing description? Yes, absolutely. If you offer a housekeeping service, highlight it prominently in your listing. Couples seeking a romantic getaway especially appreciate not having to handle cleaning themselves, allowing them to focus on relaxation and togetherness.
