La Bruguera de Púbol Villa & Eco Retreat Centre

La Bruguera is a unique forest estate for retreats, holidays, and team-building events or gatherings.

Fully-modernised from 2015 – 2019, it was built between 1978 and 1981, for Catalan landscape painter Francesc d’Assís Casademont “Le Vieux”, a friend and contemporary of Salvador Dalí’s.

The Main Villa sleeps 12 people across 6 bedrooms, all with heating and air conditioning. There are 7 bathrooms, including a walk-in shower, two baths, and two en-suites. There is an additional apartment, "El Taller", available on application as a paid extra, with 3 additional bedrooms with heating and ceiling fans. There is a spacious kitchen with equipment to cook for, serve and seat up to 20 people, including two ovens, two dishwashers, an American-style fridge freezer, a microwave, a Jura coffee machine, and a wine fridge. There is a laundry room with washing machine and dryer, a utility sink, iron and ironing board, plus recycling bins and a compost bin.

Ecological cleaning, washing and beauty products are provided and we encourage their use in order to protect the natural septic system. There is a large dining room that seats 20 with views out to the gardens. The gardens boast two outdoor dining / meeting spaces, a gas BBQ, a lawn for outdoor yoga, a saltwater swimming pool (fenced for safety), small ponds and a Mediterranean kitchen garden, and an art gallery featuring work from our artist-in-residence.

Towels for bath and pool and bed linen are provided. Rooms will be ready for guests before arrival. All beds can be made into king-sized or singles. So each room can be used for couples or individuals, depending on the group's requirements. There are 2 cots with bedding and 2 highchairs available.

Check-in is 4pm and check-out is 10am. We ask for 150 euro security deposit which will be returned at check-out.

The property is gated with a secure pin access. We greet guests on arrival and provide access codes and keys. We live and work on-site 100 metres from the villa. So we are available to assist if required.

La Bruguera runs on 100% renewable energy.

There is a yoga studio / meeting space available at an extra cost. The yoga studio has mats, bolsters, cushions, blankets, straps and blocks for 20 students. The studio has a separate toilet and bathroom with shower. There is underfloor heating and a portable air-conditioning unit, if required. The studio / meeting space is double height with a mirrored wall, skylights and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that lead out to a cloistered fish pond.
