About this property
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.
Other activities to do at La Bruguera or in the area: We provide environmental education experiences and masterclasses. We can recommend local chefs who specialise in 0km, seasonal, zero waste, vegetarian and vegan, macro-biotic, etc. We can recommend musicians, and providers of specialist services / activities including soundbaths, forest bathing, foraging and cooking wild foods, hiking on the Costa Brava, guided cycling tours, massage, etc. We have a database of cycling routes we can share plus a curated list of places to eat and visit.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Duff & Michelle Wilson

We have owned La Bruguera de Púbol for 4 years, having moved here after almost 20 years in the 'rat-race' of London, after stints in Canada, France, Switerland, the Middle East, the US, and Asia. We've spent that time creating the best place to focus on yourself, at no cost to the planet! It boasts 100% renewable energy, central heating , a heated salt water pool, two large vegetable gardens, and a beautiful yoga studio. As an architect and an artist, we've enjoyed the work, but enjoy knowing our guests are reaping the benefits even more. We've only had great reviews (see facebook.com/labrugueradepubol or labrugueradepubol.com) and we plan on continuing that trend!
Why they chose this property
Because this place helps you leave your worries and your stress behind. Once through the gates and into our forest, there is a tremendous tranquility, and from the first time we visited we knew this was the place for us!
What makes this property unique
Amazing corner windows; the tower with views of the Pyrenees; the calm of the forest; 20 minutes from 20 beaches; 1km from the Púbol Dalí museum & castle; the ponds and streams; the forest pavillions and follies; a visit to the chickens and rabbits; 10 minutes to hiking in the Gavarres; 20 minutes to Girona; 5 minutes from the train to Barcelona, Girona or Figueres.
