A New Life in the Sun

Guests are scheduled to arrive at Victoria's hotel in Bulgaria for a trial run. Meanwhile, Adrian and Serena face increasing public pressure at their French chateau, which remains far from ready, as the opening date approaches, to open its doors.

The programme centres on two very different hospitality projects that are both on the brink of their first public appearances. One story follows Victoria’s boutique hotel nestled in Bulgaria, while the other tracks the progress of a French chateau owned by Adrian and Serena. Both settings are presented as the focal points of a single episode, giving viewers a glimpse into the challenges of launching new accommodation ventures. In the Bulgarian segment, a group of guests is scheduled to arrive at Victoria’s hotel for a trial run. Their visit is intended to test the facilities and service before the establishment officially opens its doors to the wider public. The episode follows the preparations leading up to their arrival, highlighting the anticipation and logistical work required to ensure the trial proceeds smoothly. At the same time, tension is building at Adrian and Serena’s French chateau. Despite their ambitions, the couple finds themselves far from ready to welcome guests, and the pressure of an impending opening date is mounting. The narrative underscores the gap between their plans and the reality of the unfinished property, illustrating the stress that comes with trying to get a new venue operational in a short timeframe. Together, these parallel storylines showcase the contrasting fortunes of two hospitality endeavours as they grapple with the demands of a first‑time launch.
