Guide
Bed and breakfast for sale in Spain
Take over a running B&B or convert a property yourself: the purchase prices, the licences per region and the realistic numbers, all in one place.
Take over or convert?
A running B&B with four to eight rooms sells for 350,000 to 900,000 euro and earns from day one. Converting a house starts around 250,000 euro plus renovation, but the licence is never guaranteed: check zoning before you buy.
Licences differ per region
Tourism is regulated regionally in Spain. In Andalusia you register with the tourism registry, need a municipal opening licence and register as self-employed or a company. Every guest is reported to the police system.
The alternative: rental without hospitality
Half the people who ask us about a B&B actually want income without a full-time job. One or two well-chosen apartments with automated holiday rental often fit better; we run our own portfolio that way.
