Property Description
Location: Pollina, Palermo Province, Sicily, Italy
Price Options: Turnkey Business: € 1,300,000.00 | Private Residence: € 1,100,000.00
THE OPPORTUNITY
Casale Margherita presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational rural tourism business (Turismo Rurale) established since 2011, situated on 9.4 hectares of fertile land overlooking the pristine Madonie Natural Regional Park. Located 465 meters above sea level, the property offers unparalleled serenity while maintaining exceptional connectivity, positioned just 20 minutes (19 km) from the famed beaches and historic center of Cefalù and 10 km from Torre Conca beach.
This asset is offered with an extreme financial upside based on correcting past managerial strategies that intentionally suppressed the dining revenue stream.
KEY INFRASTRUCTURE & SCALABILITY
The Casale is a high-quality property that requires minimal maintenance. Modern amenities include a new-generation 8 kWh photovoltaic system and a rectangular infinity-edge swimming pool (8m x 4m), built in 2021, which guests cite as a primary strength.
- Accommodation: Currently featuring four established rooms (13 beds), the structure is poised for immediate expansion by 50% with two additional rooms (including a planned kitchen) currently under construction.
- Dining & Events (The Core Investment): The facility boasts a robust food and beverage (F&B) infrastructure, featuring dual restaurant halls with a total seating capacity of 104 guests (40 internal and 64 external). The restaurant enjoys a positive local reputation, particularly for high-margin banqueting events (weddings, communions).
THE INVESTMENT THESIS: UNLOCKING REVENUE POTENTIAL
The previous business model focused exclusively on overnight guests, deliberately neglecting to advertise and monetize the substantial local dining market (a regional catchment area including over 1 million residents up to Palermo). A strategic investment in marketing and management promises rapid revenue growth.
Financial Projections (Fatturato Obiettivo for 7-month Season)
Based on conservative projections (80% room occupancy and 50% restaurant utilization), the achievable target turnover is highly compelling:
- With four rooms: € 276,015.36
- With six rooms (post-expansion): € 332,456.96
TWO PATHS TO OWNERSHIP
- Turnkey Going Concern (€ 1,300,000.00): Acquire the entire business, including valuable goodwill, all licenses for hospitality and catering, furnishings, and equipment. Ideal for investors seeking immediate operational control and accelerated ROI.
- Exclusive Private Estate (€ 1,100,000.00): Acquire the land and immaculately maintained real estate, converting the Casale into a sprawling, private luxury villa, benefiting from a substantial price reduction.
A CULTURAL AND GASTRONOMIC TREASURE
The Casale’s restaurant highlights authentic, “km 0” Madonite cuisine, featuring local specialties like Manna and homemade olive oil. The proximity to cultural sites such as the Norman Castle and the unique Pietra Rosa Theatre draws guests.
