Operating rural tourism business in Taramundi

Rural tourism complex in Taramundi, established business in western Asturias

This active rural tourism business is located just 1.5 km from Taramundi, in the heart of western Asturias. Set in a small village that preserves its traditional rural charm with perfectly maintained stone, slate and wood houses, it enjoys a privileged setting surrounded by green mountains and on the banks of the Turia River.

The complex comprises three rural houses that contain four independent apartments with a total capacity for 12 people, plus an additional building pending restoration. The complex features various terrace and garden areas, as well as parking spaces for guests. A paved pathway leads into the forest and reaches the Turia River, which flows just 150 metres from the buildings bordering its land.

The business is currently active, operating as self-catering holiday apartments and has an excellent online reputation, with 5 stars in Google reviews and a 9.7 rating on Booking. It enjoys a base of returning clients, and the numerous tourist attractions in the area ensure a steady flow of visitors throughout the year.

Traditional architecture and modern comfort in three restored buildings

The three houses currently in operation have been completely restored and feature carefully decorated interiors. Their spaces offer rustic atmospheres with all modern amenities, with exposed stone walls and wooden beams combined with modern lighting, appliances and furniture.

Additionally, a large plot of land extending to the river belongs to the complex and stretches from the various buildings.

The first house, historic architecture with capacity for 4 people

The first house, closest to the river, is the original house with the most history: an old forge that operated for 100 years. It contains a two-storey apartment for 4 people, equipped with a living-kitchen area with fireplace on the ground floor, and two bedrooms on the upper floor, one with a double bed and another with two single beds. It also has a bathroom with shower.

The second house, two floors for two independent apartments

The second house is located a few metres from the first. It is a two-storey building that houses an independent apartment on each floor, with capacity for 2 guests each. Next to the house is a spacious garden with various outdoor seating areas, and a small cabin that serves as a reception and ironing area.

The ground floor apartment has a living-kitchen area, double bedroom and bathroom with shower, as well as a door accessing the garden and exit to a small terrace with table, barbecue and swings.

The upper floor apartment has a living-kitchen area, two bedrooms and bathroom with shower, plus a small terrace with table and chairs next to the raised hórreo that frames the entrance to the property.

The third house, retreat for two additional guests

At the end of the garden stands the third house, a smaller single-storey building accessed via a small outdoor terrace with table and barbecue. It contains an apartment for two people with living-kitchen area and a double bedroom with full bathroom.

Fourth house to renovate with restoration project included

Adjacent to the third house is another large stone house pending restoration, with a restoration project included in the price that plans the creation of an additional apartment with three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, living-kitchen area, additional bathroom and balcony. This expansion would significantly increase the capacity and profitability of the business.

Furthermore, the current owner offers to provide advice and assistance to expedite the renovation process of the fourth house, and offers support with the business plan and management of the complex during the first months, ensuring a smooth transition for the new owners.

Buying rural accommodation in Taramundi, land of ferreiros and dreamlike landscapes

Taramundi is known worldwide as one of the pioneering centres of rural tourism in Spain. In the eighties, the transformation of the old rectory into a hotel marked the birth of this type of tourism in an area that was then at risk of disappearing. The success of this initiative turned Taramundi into an emblem of rural tourism and a model of sustainable development.

The town is part of the Oscos-Eo Biosphere Reserve declared by UNESCO, a territory that combines mountain and coastal landscapes. The Turia River, which rises in Taramundi, has been essential for the development of local crafts through its hydraulic installations: mills, hammers and forges that are still preserved today.

The Mazonovo Mills Museum, considered the largest mill museum in Spain with 18 restored mills, and the Os Teixois Ethnographic Complex, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, showcase the exceptional industrial and ethnographic heritage of the area. The Water Route, a 14 km circular trail, allows you to discover these treasures whilst crossing oak and chestnut forests alongside the river.

Additionally, Taramundi is famous for its knife-making craftsmanship, a tradition dating back to time immemorial that is kept alive today by ferreiros who craft knives and folding knives by hand, unique and durable pieces recognised worldwide.

The location provides quick access to several Galician towns such as A Pontenova (14 km), Meira (26 km) or Lugo (60 km), and to coastal towns like Castropol, Figueras, Ribadeo and Vegadeo. The Cantabrian beaches are less than an hour away.

This rural tourism business represents a unique opportunity to acquire an established project in full operation, with an excellent reputation and in one of the most emblematic locations for rural tourism in Spain.
