What's always true

Guests Maximum

Always intimate. Never a crowd.

From Barcelona

Close enough to be easy. Far enough to matter.

100%

Led by Susan

Every stay. Every time. Personal from start to finish.

Real

Local Connections

Artisans, restaurants, villages most visitors never find.

What a stay feels like

The rhythm that never changes.

The theme changes. The focus is your own. But the pace — unhurried, generous, rooted in good food and real conversation — is always the same.

Friday eve

Arrive. Wine is open. Dinner is on. You exhale.

Sat morning

Slow breakfast. Nowhere to be until the workshop.

Sat lunch

A family restaurant Susan loves. She books the table.

Sat afternoon

Workshop with a local artisan. The focus of your retreat theme.

Sat evening

The long table. Wine. Conversation that goes wherever it wants.

Sunday

Slow breakfast. A walk. Farewell lunch. Leave different.

Portrait of Susan at Mas Escapada

Your host

The person behind every stay.

I’ve lived in Barcelona for many years and love it — but even the best cities deserve a pause. I found this house in a corner of Catalunya most people don’t even know exists, and I’ve been introducing guests to it ever since. The stillness, the locals, the landscape — it does something to you that’s hard to explain until you’ve experienced it. Come and find out.
