The living accommodation centres around the old barn
(La Granja) now converted into a spacious family kitchen/dining room, with beautiful old stone walls and vaulted ceiling.  There is a small chapel at one end which guests are welcome to use for private prayer or meditation.  During Spring and Autumn retreats there is also the opportunity to join us at times for community worship in the chapel.

The barn opens out onto the Moorish-style Cloisters, at one end of which is a large covered seating area which is the main "living room" during the warmer months.  It is a space of exceptional peace and tranquility.  On the other side is the "stables" courtyard with its Outdoor Dining Terrace and built in BBQ for those relaxed Al Fresco meals in the cool of the evening.

The beautiful Swimming Pool is in a separate mature enclosed garden with views to the surrounding hills.  It has its own covered seating area converted from the original cow-byre, together with a swing seat in the shade and sun-beds for the sun worshippers.  

The property sits in a loop of the “Rio Grande” river, surrounded by Citrus orchards, while on the far side of the river networks of trails lead over the hills to the nearby farms villages and towns, providing walking to suit all tastes and abilities, from a brief stroll by the river, to day-long hikes.
