Spring Yoga Retreat in Spain

The Venue

This huge estate of 18,000 m² with gardens galore, massive well-kept lawns, two swimming pools, a sauna and both indoor & outdoor jacuzzis. The venue has ten bedrooms in total that are distributed between six independent houses.

The main villa has a large country kitchen and dining area where all guests can come together to share meals, while always enjoying the option of the space and privacy of your own self-contained accommodation as much as you wish. The Andalucia hacienda is something of a masterpiece, the one-time home of an architect who made imaginative rural properties his speciality. The design hallmarks here are generosity of spaces, quality of light and comfort, an awareness of the human requirements of practicality and intimacy, and an embracing of the rich natural world, plants and indoor gardens.

On the lower of four long and wide green lawns, Casa Mario is the most private of all the houses. This garden cottage hideaway has a vine-covered, furnished terrace with pretty views of lawn and hills. It was the first of these houses designed by Aubrey David and his personal base and retreat. It’s all open plan and more or less square. Under the vaulted, beamed ceiling are a lovely old leather sofa, attractive cast iron stove, and a daybed by a large corner window. The double bedroom is on a slightly higher level and curtained off from the living room. The bed is solidly wood-framed, there’s a fitted wardrobe, open plan jacuzzi and tall windows out to the garden. The house has its own kitchen facilities.

The houses all have dual air conditioning in summer and air heating in winter and some have wood stoves. TV's are satellite with Sky. There is WiFi internet at the estate, although do note that it doesn’t work everywhere. All areas of the hacienda are bright and airy, with plenty of natural light coming through the many french windows, some of which are not curtained so you can stargaze and rise with the sun. With sandy Mediterranean beaches only 20 minutes away. A short drive away are four satisfyingly different country restaurants that offer a range of very good food. And Casares is a delightful village, with all manner of local shops and a pleasure to stroll around.
