✍️ Description from the real estate agent

With potential to expand to 10 bedrooms and bathrooms, this charming 2-star hotel is fully licensed by the Junta de Andalucía. Perched on the outskirts of Júzcar, the renowned "blue village" made famous by Sony's Smurf movies, this property attracts visitors year-round.

A decade ago, a Spanish-American couple acquired a modest hostal and restaurant, transforming it into the character-filled, boutique establishment it is today. The historic building brims with charm, while the restaurant has become a popular spot for locals celebrating weddings and other events, as well as tourists. Co-owner Ivan, a talented chef, delivers exceptional, high-quality dishes.

The hotel is thoughtfully designed for privacy, with a bougainvillea-clad courtyard leading guests through antique wooden doors into the reception area. Inside, guests can enjoy a cozy lounge with a wood-burning stove. The upper two floors feature eight spacious, characterful bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, wood-beamed ceilings, and access to outdoor terraces offering breathtaking countryside views.

Additionally, the property includes a bright, multi-purpose room—ideal for yoga classes, art exhibitions, or corporate events. The walled garden with a full-sized pool is a rare find for village hotels, surrounded by mature trees and inviting outdoor spaces for dining and sunbathing.

The restaurant and bar, nearly an independent business in itself, are central to the village's social life. The café and bar area includes a delightful "tea room" with an open fireplace, where patrons enjoy homemade cakes and chocolates—a specialty of the chef. The bar and front courtyard are popular spots for drinks and scenic views, while the main restaurant offers a charming Andalusian atmosphere with beamed ceilings and a cozy fireplace.

A fully equipped commercial kitchen and ample storage areas ensure smooth operations.

Owner’s Accommodation: A spacious 2-bedroom apartment sits behind the yoga studio on the first floor, featuring an open-plan living and dining area with a fireplace, two large double bedrooms, and a bathroom. While there is no kitchen, there’s ample space to add one if desired.

With a strong profit margin and full accounts available for viewing, this turnkey business presents an excellent investment and a unique lifestyle opportunity. The success of this property relies on the hands-on involvement and enthusiasm of its future owners.
