Successful restaurant hotel business located 1hr 30 from Bordeaux and 2hr from Toulouse

This very successful family run business is offered to the market due to the owner’s ill health. It has been built up over a number of years and there are opportunities to extend it further if desired. Although it is in a small village it has a good reputation and friendly atmosphere with clientele from the surrounding villages and towns as well as the business community. The buildings are fairly close together around neat gardens and olive trees and there is a large area for parking. There is a main restaurant 320m2 and a further large room used for functions and breakfast 150m2. In the summer an extensive covered terrace is adjacent to a pool and fountain. The menu provides a wide choice of dishes, many using local produce, and both a la carte and set meals are served for lunch and dinner. Reservations in advance are necessary especially at the weekend. Next to the restaurant is a bar which is used by hotel guests as well as diners. The professional kitchen is large and well equipped with designated areas for different functions. There is a small reception area and in the main building has 10 bedrooms which all have ensuite facilities. They have all been refurbished recently and are comfortable. They are of different sizes including some family rooms. All have desks, tv and internet access. Across the courtyard is another building which has 8 bedrooms with balconies, 4 on the ground and 4 on first floor. Again some family rooms are available and some rooms have interconnecting doors. Breakfast is available to all hotel guests for a small charge. There is reasonable occupancy throughout the year and the summer period is fully booked. In addition there are two houses, one with 3 bedrooms as well as living/ dining area and kitchen. which is currently used by staff. It has a small private garden and terrace. There is also a poly tunnel where olive trees are being cultivated. The other house, which can be accessed from the main building, is in the process of renovation to provide additional accommodation. It has been stripped and the services are in place. Both are of traditional landaise construction in stone with wooden beams. The land extends to just over a hectare and is bounded by ditches and the road. There is a central s-shaped swimming pool with steps down into it. There is ample space to install a larger swimming pool for guests. All in all a unique opportunity to run a thriving business where the current staff are willing to ease the transition.
