Description
ImmoTourisme, the real estate agency 100% dedicated to hospitality and tourism properties, presents this charming guesthouse with café-bar and terrace, located in the historic center of one of the most sought-after seaside resorts on the Catalan coast.
A rare opportunity combining authenticity, profitability, modern comfort, and exceptional quality of life -- set within a beautifully restored 18th-century Catalan townhouse. Successfully operated for over 14 years, this renowned establishment blends upscale guest accommodation, a popular bar terrace, and a private owner's residence.

Tourism Location and Activities
Ideally located between the sea and the mountains, in the heart of Argelès-sur-Mer's historic village, just a short walk from shops, markets, and the train station, and only 5 minutes from the beaches. Close to Collioure, Perpignan, and the Spanish border, this location offers a prime year-round setting with high tourist appeal.
Operating 7 to 8 months per year, the business generates an annual turnover of around €215,000 and enjoys an outstanding reputation (9.7/10 online ratings) with a loyal international clientele.
The simple business model -- guesthouse and café-bar (no restaurant), closing at 8 p.m. -- offers an ideal work-life balance in a high-quality environment.
The current owner will provide comprehensive support during the transition, ensuring a smooth handover.

Develop the café-bar: introduce light dining, brunch, or cultural events (concerts, tastings, exhibitions) on the terrace.
