This is a get-away-from-it-all retreat, environmentally friendly, with water from our rainwater storage and power from our solar system. So ... there is no TV and no computer (but there is very good cellphone reception and internet access via WIFI), and there are no electrical appliances, no washing machine, no freezer etc. Instead there is the opportunity to experience how a remote cottage can operate on solar power and keep you warm, cosy and content by natural, sustainable methods.

We provide private yoga and massage therapy sessions at the cottage upon request, and we also offer yoga camping holidays at our organic olive farm, Casa de Carrasco, in the valley below. At the farm, you can choose your own camp spot among the olive groves and enjoy a daily yoga session tailored to your needs. Just email us for details.

We can arrange mule-riding by the half day, and fishing on the River Ebro with an expert guide. Birdwatchers will be thrilled by the eagles that soar above the cottage and by sightings of the dinstinctive hoopoe.

YOU WILL NEED A HIGH CLEARANCE VEHICLE FOR DRIVING TO THE COTTAGE which is on a rough, unsurfaced scenic mountain road. There are hire car companies at all the airports - we suggest Avis, who offer a number of high clearance vehicles such as the Fiat Dobla. When you book your holiday, we will be happy to provide you with maps and directions, and a local resident to accompany you to the cottage on arrival (free of charge). We also provide a taxi service from the airport and a groceries-in-advance service, if needed.

For those who like a daily swim, there is a public swimming pool (with gorgeous views)in the nearest village of Rasquera - the pool is open from May to September.
