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.

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.

Lovely countryside Villa with tranquil and beautiful surroundings
We had an incredible time at La Bruguera. Secluded in a peaceful pine forest, the eco-friendly Villa blends in with nature to provide an unforgettable experience for our family of 12. We found the house to be furnished with pretty much all the equipment, AC, appliances, and toiletries one could need. There are so many different indoor and outdoor secluded spaces that everyone got to enjoy many fun and relaxing meals and moments throughout the day. Mike and Michelle, besides going above and beyond accommodating any questions we had, are wonderful hosts to chat with. Their tips on procuring produce from the local markets, and recommendations for visiting nearby sites and restaurants added so much to our week in the area. We'd recommend the stay to any group or family any time!!

Wonderful house with outstanding hosts
The property was excellent, with every facility for a luxurious stay. It had a good-sized, well maintained pool; a high standard of accommodation; an exceptionally well-equipped modern kitchen; and a lovely, extensive outdoor area with several places to sit in the shade and enjoy it. We were extremely fortunate in our hosts, who responded promptly to every request for little extras such as beach umbrella and ironing board, and with advice about technical details in the house. There was a very good supermarket within about 10 minutes' drive. And our hosts gave us recommendations for the beaches, and the various great restaurants nearby. The hosts were next door, which added to this convenience, but their presence never interfered with or impinged on our privacy. Overall, we could not have had a more enjoyable stay, and would not hesitate to recommend the property

Amazing property and terrific hosts!
We had a glorious 2-week stay at La Bruguera! We were a group of 7 adults and a boy almost 3 years old. The house and grounds are unique and absolutely beautiful. Mike and Michelle were so very helpful to us, not only before we arrived but during our entire stay. They made dinner and vineyard reservations for us, arranged for Chef Roger to cook a delicious dinner at the house, gave us excellent recommendations for beaches and other sites, introduced our grandson to their chickens and bunnies, and shared yummy vegetables from their garden. They were so respectful of our use of their peaceful property and we just loved meeting their family. The 6 bedrooms all have A/C, along with the main living area-- and we needed it as Spain was hit with a heat wave. The pool was great for cooling off as well and our grandson enjoyed swim time so much. We appreciated their commitment to sustainabilty and respect for the environment. Would recommend Gala's castle in Pubol, Can Bosch for dinner, Local Market Cooking Class in Girona, and walking the old city wall in Girona. The beaches are an easy drive and there are many great choices. So many other sites are relatively close which makes this property not only a quiet escape but accessible to a wide variety of experiences. Our time at La Bruguera was one of the most memorable vacations we have taken. Thank you, Mike, Michelle and family for a truly wonderful stay!

Incredible house and surroundings
Probably the most fabulous place we’ve stayed at. Wonderful house, pool, grounds and location. I can see why Casademont, the artist, and Mike and Michelle fell in love with the place. The inland area behind the Costa Brava is beautiful and has so much to offer. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely grounds and well kept garden. Clean warm pool. Good facilities and sense of space.
We had a peaceful 10 night stay at this house in August. Good location to serve as a base to explore local beaches and other things. Lovely little restaurant in neighbouring village. Good countryside runs out of the gate. Well kept garden with space to explore and play. The interior has lots of space too and had everything we needed. Air con in half the bedrooms. The owners have a wonderful veg patch with lemon trees and cats keeping you company. We were given a few vegetables when we arrived. Several outdoor eating areas although bring your mosquito spray. The pool was a highlight, clean and warm and fenced. Just a few things to note for prospective guests: the owners live onsite adjacent to the pool, it’s basically a large house split in two - one side for the owners and one for guests. In research I read the owners lived “on the estate” so was not expecting them to be adjacent and as near. As long as you are okay with this it wouldn’t be a problem but we could hear them in their house when we used the pool area. I think it’s important to know this before booking. Also, I would recommend to the owners to upgrade the blinds / curtains in bedrooms or to guests - bring portable blackouts as although the views are spectacular, they start early in the day! In conclusion a peaceful countryside home shared by the owners for holidaying guests.

Even better than expected
Arriving in La Bruguera was an enchanting experience: driving through idyllic catalan villages, being cordially recieved by our host Mike, being showed around and inroduced to the facilities of the place: everything is so beautiful, tasteful, impeccable and perfectly equipped and maintained like we have never before experienced in a rented vacation home. Mike and Michelle are incredible hosts, always approachable and helpful. As a group of nine adults and two kids we spent a fantastic and carefree week with al fresco dinners, barbeques, enjoying the pool area, playing pingpong, doing little excursions into the surroundings (beaches, Dali-castle-museum, Girona, farmers market in La Bisbal all near by)... We definetly want to return!
