Homemade: your new asset!

Homemade is everywhere these days. It has become a genuine mark of quality and an option that many guests actively look for. So why not make the most of it?

Homemade: why?

Ever since lockdown, when everybody was making their own bread and sourdough starter, homemade has been back in the spotlight. It has become a guarantee of quality that carries a real environmental message. And it is true: homemade means working with good ingredients, seasonal vegetables and fruit, and a love of a job well done.

When we talk about homemade, we picture our grandmothers at the stove and their hearty dishes simmering away for hours. That is exactly why the idea appeals to more and more guests. So if you mention in your listing that breakfast, or the products you provide, are homemade, you will score points.

It is also a lovely surprise for your guests, who will be delighted to walk into your property and discover all sorts of more natural products. And a happy customer is a customer who comes back, or who speaks well of you!

What can you offer?

When we hear homemade, we immediately think of cooking. But the idea is far broader than that!

You could offer, for example:

• somesoaps
• someblanketsorthrows
• somefurniture...

Anything you have made yourself can be showcased as "homemade". You will give your rental extra character and you can even earn some income from it. Give it some thought! If your guests have enjoyed your soaps in the shower, why would they say no to buying some?

When it comes to food, here too you have plenty of choice. You could treat them to:

• cakes
• honey
• condiments
• liqueurs

Quick tip: it is even better when the produce comes from your own garden or from local producers! You see! Homemade opens up countless possibilities. Thanks to this approach, you will bring guests back and earn yourself some great word of mouth, so go for it! Do add it to your listing or your website.
