About Base Calames Gîte Business for Sale in the Ariège Pyrenees
Established Accommodation Business with Long-Standing Clientele
This well-established tourist accommodation and holiday let business in the Ariège Pyrenees offers an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to invest in a stable and respected tourism business in the south of France. With more than 15 years of successful operation, Base Calames has built a strong reputation and a loyal client base, providing reliable year-round bookings for new owners wishing to enter the hospitality sector.
A Successful Holiday Let with Flexible Configuration
Base Calames began as accommodation tailored to rock-climbing groups thanks to its enviable location beneath the Calamès crags. Over time, it has grown into a versatile holiday let attracting hikers, cyclists, families, and special interest groups. The property includes six bedrooms and generous shared spaces, making it ideal for larger gatherings such as family reunions, club trips, and group holidays.
Its adaptable layout allows for multiple rental configurations, including whole-house rentals or separate floors for smaller groups, each with their own bathroom. While the current model focuses on full-property rental, new owners could easily reinstate previous offerings such as catered stays or individual room bed and breakfast style bookings to broaden the market and increase revenue.
Strong Digital Presence and Reliable Bookings
The business benefits from a well-established online profile. Most bookings now come through Airbnb, where the gîte enjoys excellent visibility and repeat guests. A dedicated website also supports direct bookings, giving new owners a ready-made marketing foundation and an efficient booking workflow from day one.
A Well-Established Tourism Business with Growth Potential
Base Calames represents a rare chance to acquire a well-established tourism business with clear opportunities for expansion. Growth avenues include targeting niche outdoor markets such as climbing, road cycling, and hiking groups, or reintroducing catered stays and flexible rental packages. The clientele includes leisure guests, family groups, corporate teams, and organisations with special requirements, providing a wide range of income streams.
An Appealing Lifestyle and Business Opportunity
For buyers looking to enter the holiday accommodation market in the Pyrenees, this property offers an appealing balance of lifestyle and commercial potential. Its long-standing reputation, solid digital presence, and proven demand make it a compelling option for both lifestyle buyers and dedicated hospitality investors.
