Property description
Gite for sale: Established Gîte business for sale, south of France. The Gite is situated in the French Pyrenean mountains accomodating up to forty tourists in ten guest rooms for summer and winter seasons. The business type lies somewhere between a Bed and Breakfast and a Hotel but lacks the formality and workload of a hotel - B&B with evening meal might be a reasonable description.
The Gite is situated on the same moutain as the Luz Ardiden ski station (base station 1730 metre) and only twenty minutes drive to Domaine de Tourmalet (La Mongie), which is one of the largest and most popular ski stations in the Pyrenees.
The area is very popular in summer time, walkers and mountain sports fans enjoy unparalled mountainous beauty with numerous high altitude lakes and the world famous Cirque de Gavarnie, the Gîte enjoys a healthy summer and winter trade with approximately the same revenue for both seasons.
The business is sold with a very healthy existing base of customers, approximately 95% French, at least one of the new owners will be required to speak reasonably good conversational French.
The business is sold with a restaurant (40 places), professional kitchen+equipment and adjoining bar and relaxation area (bar licence class 1 included).
Guests enjoy a continental style breakfast and an evening meal. In keeping with convention for this style of Gite all guests eat the same menu and at the sitting time which lowers workload for the owners considerably.
Rooms are cleaned before guests arrive but thereafter guests are responsible for keeping the room clean, this is normal practise for a Gîte of this type and together with the single menu/sitting time means that the workload is relatively low for this number of guests and can be comfortably handled as at present by a couple.
The current owners looked a buying a hotel before buying this Gîte, one of the biggest factors in the decision to choose this type of Gîte instead of a hotel was the greatly reduced workload which does not necessitate hired help, keeping costs low but also avoiding complicated employment regulations.
There are many types of Gîte, this is a “Gîte de Sejour”, we are members of Gîtes de France and have a quality classification of three “epis” (out of a possible four), we are currently charging 33 euro per night per person including evening meal, this is considered good value.
The business is capable of supporting a family, turnover is 85,000+ euro and has reached 100,000 in previous years, the current owners took this business on in order to achieve a better quality of life and choose to work only half the year.
Asking price 600,000 Euro
