On the island of Cres, in the immediate vicinity of the historic center of Beli, a mixed-use residential and commercial property is available for lease – a well-established guesthouse with a restaurant, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the Kvarner Bay.

The property is situated just 900 meters from the coastline, on a 400 m² plot, and offers a total of 600 m² of usable space.

The guesthouse features 12 comfortable guest rooms, each with a private bathroom. Two of the rooms are designed for family accommodation and consist of two separate rooms sharing one bathroom. The interiors have been carefully designed and decorated with artwork by local artists, creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere.

The property includes a fully equipped professional kitchen that meets all HACCP standards required for restaurant operations, as well as guest restroom facilities.

Additional amenities include a separate owner's apartment, staff accommodation, professional laundry and drying equipment, and several storage areas that facilitate efficient day-to-day business operations.

The property was renovated in 2009, and its orientation towards all four cardinal directions ensures an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The guesthouse and restaurant have been operating successfully for more than 30 years and enjoy a loyal domestic and international clientele. The restaurant is renowned for its authentic local cuisine, featuring fresh Adriatic fish, Cres lamb, game dishes, island cheeses, Istrian prosciutto, homemade bread, and traditional desserts prepared according to local recipes.

A beautifully arranged terrace provides a relaxing space for guests to enjoy the unique natural surroundings. The location is particularly attractive to nature lovers, divers, hikers, and cyclists, as it is situated at the starting point of numerous eco and hiking trails.

Adjacent to the property is the Griffon Vulture Visitor and Rescue Centre, the only facility of its kind in Europe, attracting more than 10,000 visitors during the tourist season. Nearby is also the Tramuntana hunting area, providing opportunities for business operations during the pre-season, post-season, and winter months.

This property represents an excellent opportunity to lease a well-established hospitality and tourism business with a long-standing tradition and strong reputation, while also offering significant potential for further development in the unique natural setting of the island of Cres.
