Debbie de Jong from B&B Vol liefde puts her Spanish B&B up for sale after 22 years

Debbie de Jong, known for her appearance on the television show B&B Vol liefde, has decided to sell her Spanish bed and breakfast after 22 years of operation. Located in the Girona region, the property, known as Can Portell & Mas Ferrer, features 26 sleeping accommodations. De Jong expressed that despite still feeling capable of managing the business, she desires a change in her life and wants to be closer to her grandchildren in the Netherlands. She has recently become a grandmother and expects another grandchild soon, which influenced her decision to relocate.

Following her decision to sell, an unexpected development occurred as her son announced plans to move his family to the Spanish property this coming January. While this complicates her initial plans, De Jong intends to continue with the sale, noting that her son's long-term residency in Spain remains uncertain. She plans to renovate the premises this winter and will continue to accept bookings for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, her relationship with Paul de Waal, whom she met on the show, remains strong.
