Company history/background
The holiday company in Italy on the island of Sicily (sole proprietorship) was founded 20 years ago by the Dutch owner.
A strong position has been established in the Netherlands with guests from the Netherlands (97%) and other countries (3%). The company operates 8 luxury rental accommodations situated on a beautiful owned estate spanning approximately 2.5 hectares. A vineyard of approximately 0.7 hectares has been planted on the estate, with the first harvest expected from 2026. The company works with established local partners to guarantee the quality of its products and services.
Company activities
With a team of 4 people, guests are welcomed and cared for, and the estate is maintained. The current owner does not work in the business but handles bookings and administration, usually from the Netherlands. An operational manager is appointed annually; a new owner can also fill this role themselves as needed. Approximately 350 guests are received annually. Bookings are made in-house (50%) and via tour operators (50%). Revenue amounts to approximately €160,000 per year and profitability is approximately €50,000 EBITDA. The business (assets), including the real estate, is offered for acquisition. The asking price is €2,500,000.
Other
The owner wishes to transfer the business to a new owner who will continue it with care and love and make the estate even more beautiful. Following a careful transfer, the current owner wishes to take things a little easier in Dutch life. This venture is interesting for larger companies looking to expand their activities, but also for smaller players. Partly given the wonderful life in Italy, the business is also suitable for financially strong MBI candidates or an entrepreneurial couple who wish to manage the operations themselves.
