In a small hamlet among the vineyards, close to Barcelona and the beaches, is this group of four houses, built 400 years ago, totally restored in 2009 and well maintained with continuous updates. The restoration is professionally done and has respected the rustic style. The interior design is homogeneous throughout the four houses.
Each house is a separate unit, with its own entrance.
A bonus is the charming medieval tower, beautifully incorporated into one of the houses. The tower is believed to be 1000 years old. It is one in a chain of many watchtowers along the coast, used to detect pirates and to warn other villages.
The property is being used in a successful holiday rental business since 2009.

The holiday rental business
Since 2009, the current owners have built up a profitable holiday rental business, with a large part of the income coming from steady clients. The business is up and running and has all the necessary permits and licenses up to date. By buying the property, you have the chance to take over the business as well. The signing of an NDA will reveal further details regarding the current economic situation.
The houses are ideal for a gathering of large families, corporate events, workshops, and retreats.
The total capacity of the four houses is 20 – 26 people. Few holiday rental properties in the region can accept a group of that size.
Brut annual income from holiday rental 2019: 120.000€
Net income 2019: 92.000€
