Established Gîte business complete with three bedroom owners apartment situated in the Haute Pyrenean mountains accomodating up to forty tourists in ten guest rooms for summer and winter (ski) seasons. 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 current owners (husband and wife) comfortably run the gite for up to forty guests without any other employees being necessary - this is an important consideration when looking at the finances of a small hotel or gite.
A large 120 metre sq 3 bedroomed owners appartment is included in the sale, the large glass sliding doors give a view directly onto the mountains.
The gite comes complete with a class 1 bar licence which means guests who are staying at the gite can be served alcohol but passing trade in the form of hikers may only be served non-alcoholic drinks.
The gite is suitable for supporting a family and consists of ten guest rooms, a bar area and restaurant, professional kitchen, ski room and a three bedroomed owners appartment which includes a pine beamed open plan lounge complete with a glass-sealed log burning stove.
The current owners have cultivated a warm relationship with a loyal customer base, the owners will continue to take forward bookings and the sale is conditional that the new owners honour all existing bookings.
Revenue varies between 83K and 100K Euro
Currently supports couple with 200K Euro Mortgage.
At least one of the new owners would be required to speak reasonably good French or be reasonably talented linguistically with a view to improving quickly. Our guests are 95% French and we have an exceptionally high repeat rate.
Training will be given but an interest in food and cooking is a must. guests all eat at the same time and eat the same dish so it is not complicated but enthusiasm is required.
Please note that we answered "1" for the number of reception rooms when filling in the form for this advert but the question doesnt really make any sense for this type of property.
