The opportunity

An old mill in the Lecrín Valley.

Alquería has accommodation, gardens, a pool and wellness facilities in the Lecrín Valley. The proposed business needs to earn first from rooms, then from carefully scheduled meals and spa bookings. A full public restaurant requires a separate staffing and margin case.

Cumbre Villas 2141A is a high-confidence match to La Alquería de los Lentos. Confirm the legal property, included business and lawful accommodation schedule. Almaro has no ownership or contractual commitment.

Cumbre Villas · 2141A

Use fourteen accommodation units: the operator describes seven courtyard and seven garden rooms, including some apartment-like units. These are not fourteen identical double rooms. The separately marketed Love Suite in the village is excluded from the model and sale inventory assumption.

Architecture & interiors

A complete new chapter.

Restore the building’s character, renew its services and design the entire guest experience. These studies describe an ambition; a surveyed and priced scheme comes next.

La Alquería de los Lentos — complete exterior restoration

Restored lime, timber and tiled roofs; renewed pool lining and limestone coping following the existing pool outline; refined paving, crafted loungers and planting within the intimate pool court. An illustrative design ambition; dimensions, permissions and costs remain to be established.

01 / Proposed workstream

Courtyard and garden rooms

Schedule the two seven-unit groups separately, including apartment-style layouts, bathrooms, kitchens where present and guest privacy; tailor finishes to each category.

Operator-reported inventory; exact lawful layouts unverified.

Before commitment: Approved 14-unit schedule excluding the off-site Love Suite.

02 / Proposed workstream

Mill fabric and shared spaces

Document significant mill fabric, inspect roof and damp, and coordinate lighting, seating and guest use with conservation advice.

Historic mill identity sourced; interventions proposed.

Before commitment: Condition survey and an agreed retention/repair schedule.

03 / Proposed workstream

Water, pool and hammam

Inspect water supply, drainage, pool systems, hammam ventilation, treatment and energy demand before selecting equipment or promising service levels.

Facilities described in source material; no plant report available.

Before commitment: Technical report, operating requirements and maintenance cost plan.

04 / Proposed workstream

Kitchen and food service

Match kitchen capability, guest dining, stores and waste handling to a reservation-led meal offer; separately test any public restaurant proposition.

Proposed operating discipline from the retained business plan.

Before commitment: Permitted food use, a priced kitchen scope and paid departmental roster.

05 / Proposed workstream

Gardens, access and operations

Review paths, lighting, irrigation and emergency/housekeeping access between room groups; phase landscape work with guest privacy and maintenance capacity.

Gardens and room groups evidenced; routing is conceptual.

Before commitment: Measured site/access plan and costed maintenance programme.

The spatial program

How the hotel could work.

Conceptual relationships between guest spaces, rooms and operations. No measured or approved architectural plans have been obtained.

Courtyard rooms, garden stays and the mill — conceptual zoning, not a measured plan
Two room groups; meals and wellness must cover their paid costs. Conceptual zoning — no measured survey available

Accommodation

Use fourteen accommodation units: the operator describes seven courtyard and seven garden rooms, including some apartment-like units. These are not fourteen identical double rooms. The separately marketed Love Suite in the village is excluded from the model and sale inventory assumption.

  • The operator describes seven courtyard and seven garden accommodation units.
  • The inventory includes apartment-like units; it is not fourteen identical doubles.
  • The retained material describes an old mill, gardens, pool and hammam/wellness facilities.

Design brief

  • Keep separate room descriptions, guest routes and rate plans for courtyard and garden accommodation.
  • Use the mill and shared spaces as the setting for a focused, bookable food offer rather than assume unrestricted restaurant hours.
  • Coordinate spa reservations, linen, cleaning and staffing with the guest programme and confirmed permissions.

The separately marketed village Love Suite is outside the modeled inventory. No full public-restaurant staffing or capacity is assumed covered by the existing screen. Different tourism-registration references require current certificates; neither establishes the complete legal use on its own.

Acquisition & operating economics

Price the ambition.

Negotiate the acquisition and test the capital required. A more extensive renovation must earn its place in the investment case.

Operating scenario

La Alquería de los Lentos

€1.65m
40% of askAsking €1.65m

Price sensitivity, not an agreed discount. Only purchase price and its 12% transaction allowance change; operating income stays the same.

€450k + 20% contingency
Original screen · €450k5× works allowance

The full renovation concepts are not costed. This sensitivity increases works and contingency while keeping operating income unchanged; it does not forecast a higher room rate or capture extra closure costs.

What supports the nightly-rate assumption?

Undated directory from €77/night with examples near €82 double and €100 junior suite; board, tax and dates unclear. €140 net base requires meaningful uplift.

Starting prices and individual stay quotes do not establish achieved annual ADR. The target must be tested with monthly room sales, rate mix, seasonality and booking pace.

Room-rate evidence

Saved directory offers start around €77 per night, with examples near €82 for a double and €100 for a junior suite. Dates, board and taxes are unclear. The proposed €140 net annual ADR needs evidence from the actual fourteen-unit mix.

Saved source evidence in expansion-financials.json; not a newly checked quote.

Property business plan · operating screen

The stay. The team. The demand.

Improve fourteen courtyard and garden units while making meals and wellness pay for the staff required to deliver them.

Commercial priorities

  1. Differentiate courtyard rooms and garden accommodation through clear photography, room descriptions and rate plans.
  2. Survey pool, hammam, water systems and plant, then phase room and garden improvements around the resulting scope.
  3. Track meals and spa treatments by contribution after labour; schedule service to reservations rather than assume a full restaurant.

Who would stay here

  • Couples exploring the Lecrín Valley
  • Guests seeking short stays with booked wellness
  • Independent travellers combining Granada with a country stay

Proposed sequence

Earlier screening timetable: Illustrative phased refresh: 6–12 months after closing, subject to technical and permission checks. Allow 18–30 months after completion for stabilized positioning. The full renovation design requires its own permission, contractor and closure programme; these durations are not a validated delivery schedule for that design.

Proposed commercial plan; guest segments and interventions are hypotheses to validate. The complete renovation ambition requires a newly priced scope, an opening programme and validation of the room-rate and occupancy targets; the retained operating and capital figures are an earlier screen.

Measured floor plans, sections and survey

No measured, architect-certified existing plan or survey is present in the reviewed dossier. The attached SVG is a conceptual relationship diagram only.

To obtain

Approved accommodation and activity plans

No current licence certificate, approved accommodation schedule or complete planning/activity permission set is present in the reviewed material. Key issue: Resolve the tourism-registration discrepancy and confirm the staffing and permissions for the intended food and spa offer.

To obtain

Title, boundaries and sale-assets schedule

Title, building/land schedules and an explicit list of included units and businesses. The broker’s 1,430 m² built and 20,281 m² land require title and measured-area verification.

To obtain

Technical reports and contractor quotations

No measured condition report, coordinated services/fire/access design, tendered bill of quantities or construction-ready blueprint is supplied. The workstreams below are a proposed brief.

To obtain

Verified operating accounts and paid roster

No verified actual ADR, occupied nights, NOI or full employee schedule is supplied. Request 36 months of monthly trading, payroll, bookings and capital history where an operating business exists.

To obtain

Sale perimeter

Title, building/land schedules and an explicit list of included units and businesses.

Decision gate: Keep the village Love Suite outside the assumed 14-unit acquisition.

Registrations and uses

Current tourism, restaurant and spa/activity documents with transfer advice.

Decision gate: Resolve the conflicting registration references in operator material.

Technical priorities

Mill/fabric, pool, hammam, water and access reports.

Decision gate: Establish essential repairs and the permitted operating scope.

Department economics

Room, food and wellness accounts with actual payroll and bookings.

Decision gate: Cost a fully paid team; evaluate meals and treatments after labour.

Phased opening

Completed essential works, plant commissioning and service procedures.

Decision gate: Release room groups and ancillary services only when ready and authorised.

The broker’s 1,430 m² built and 20,281 m² land require title and measured-area verification.

The operator’s hotel and spa pages display different tourism registrations. Obtain the current certificates and permitted uses.

This is an inland Lecrín Valley retreat. No sea view or independently verified coastal driving time is assumed.

Source register & further diligence

A restored sixteenth-century mill, whitewashed buildings and mature gardens create a natural retreat setting below the Granada mountains. The existing rooms, restaurant, pool and spa facilities provide a tangible hospitality base for a carefully costed next chapter.

  • Confirm the property identity, sale perimeter and fourteen-unit schedule excluding the village Love Suite.
  • Resolve the tourism-registration discrepancy and restaurant/spa permissions.
  • Obtain departmental accounts and actual payroll: a full public restaurant would need more staff than the screen.
  • Price the €450,000 works allowance and contingency against a technical inspection.
