Full Description
Set in the peaceful hamlet of El Puertecico in the Huércal-Overa region of Almería, this well-established and fully licensed business offers a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving hospitality venture with a proven track record. Consisting of a restaurant with accommodation and three beautifully renovated rental properties with a total of nine bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and two swimming pools, the complex sits on a plot of approximately 1,400m², enjoying open countryside views, high levels of privacy and plenty of outdoor space.
Dating back over 300 years in parts, this former farmstead has been carefully restored to a high standard, with original features retained throughout, creating a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The business has been running successfully for 8+ years and even featured on the popular TV programme A New Life in the Sun.
The property is located just 8 minutes from Santa María de Nieva (5.9kms), a nearby village offering a small supermarket, a bar-restaurant, school, pharmacy and doctor’s surgery. The larger market town of Huércal-Overa is only 15 minutes away (14kms), where you’ll find supermarkets, banks, a wide selection of shops, cafés, bars, and a hospital. The beautiful beaches of San Juan de los Terreros, Mojácar, Garrucha and Vera are within a 40-minute drive.
• Restaurant with Accommodation:
The main building houses the restaurant, which has been trading since 2016. The ground floor comprises three cosy indoor dining areas that comfortably seat around 24–26 guests, one featuring a log burner and a small bar. The restaurant is supported by male and female toilets, one of which is wheelchair-accessible.
Glass doors open onto a private outdoor dining terrace, offering seating for an additional 22–24 guests and a stunning swimming pool. From here, guests can enjoy incredible views over the countryside and surrounding mountain ranges making it a perfect setting for summer evenings and private functions. The commercial kitchen is fully equipped, legally compliant, and includes a large storeroom for supplies and equipment.
On the first floor, accessible by internal stairs from the restaurant, there are three en-suite guest bedrooms, all with built-in storage. One of the rooms (currently used as a lounge) has access to a private roof terrace with fantastic views, making it ideal for overnight guests or to provide additional income as B&B accommodation. The restaurant could easily be converted back into a spacious home with minimal work, offering the potential for a large and comfortable living space.
• Rental Accommodation:
The property includes three additional rental properties, each with its own private entrance and outside space. All three units are fully licensed for self-catering holiday lets and have been operating successfully since 2015.
