  • Join us on an extraordinary journey as two lifelong friends, Francis and Benoit, turn a crumbling, centuries-old castle into a stunning 4-star hotel. With no construction experience, a modest budget, and a dream, they face five years of grueling work, harsh weather, and even a global pandemic. Visit the hotel website here: link.qformedia....
    Nestled in the rolling hills of Corrèze, France, Teide Castle is steeped in history serving as a hospital in World War I and a college during World War II. After being abandoned for over 30 years, the castle was in ruins. Despite its dilapidated state, Francis and Benoit saw an opportunity of a lifetime. Purchasing the castle for just $170,000, they dove headfirst into a monumental renovation, taking on personal debts and later opening the project to public investment.
    This video captures their incredible highs and daunting lows, from demolition challenges and intricate roof repairs to the heart-stopping moment when a collapsing chapel almost derailed everything. Watch as local artisans, global investors, and sheer determination come together to breathe new life into this historic treasure.
    Will they achieve the impossible? Let’s dive in and find out!

WHY didn't they show us they Tower Suites???!!!?? They were touted as the the two Suites that were going to make this a FOUR-STAR Hotel AND THEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOW THEM TO US!! 😢 - Maybe they just weren't ready to be shown to the public just yet :)

    Look at those I/H beams at 29:40, in Europe they are used as temporary support for concrete floors, because the can handle weight,
    but what they absolutely can't handle is fire, but in the greatest country on the disc they use them as permanent structural feature.
    Ask your local firefighter if he/she/it/x likes those things and why they/them /x don't.....

    I'm sorry, but this is absolutely awful. While I respect all their incredible hard work, trying to turn this classical masterpiece into a contemporary style totally disrespects the old aesthetic vision. It's really sad actually. One is a distinctly French handmade style, the other a totally generic computer-made straight-line style that could be from anywhere in the world. Taking their French heritage and erasing all of its local character = a huge creative fail.
    I don't mean to attack these guys since I know how much work they did...but you see this everywhere. Whether in France, Japan, Dubai, etc., we are all erasing our local cultural heritage and exchanging it for a cold, impersonal, international, totally machine-made blandness. This modern style looks like it belongs in any other city in the world - how is this creative and leaving a legacy for our children?
    Cheap, quick, mass-produced, impersonal design based on straight lines that can be designed in a computer in 5 minutes (I'm a designer, I would know). Welcome to the modern age.

    It looks like this could a reproduction in the US or china. All the patina and heritage has been replaced with a bland overly modernised building. The roof and the restaurant are hideous. The stone cleaning makes the building look like it's cladding not stone.

      They were fortunate to be able to save what they did. The building save the walls and tower was a total ruin. Due to French fire regulations they could not use flammable materials. So, they rebuilt as they saw fit. You don't have to go there, but I'll bet many will. Their opening hotel rates were in the order of 200-300 Euros.
