Accommodation in a Historic Country House in Penedès
Immerse yourself in a unique Spanish retreat in a historic country house (“Masía”), located in the heart of Penedès, surrounded by vineyards and peach orchards, right across from a picturesque church. This country house, with roots dating back to the 12th century, was rebuilt in 1714 and recently renovated, offering comfortable and authentic accommodation in the region. The house features 10 double rooms, including 2 suites, one of which has a private terrace. We are located just 45 km from Barcelona.
During your stay, we will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner (First day: afternoon snack and dinner; second day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks; third day: breakfast and lunch). In a prior call with the organizers, we will ask about your dietary preferences and allergies to ensure the best culinary experience. We will make sure you have everything you need. Our meals and snacks are designed to provide you with energy and health, featuring balanced menus and local products.
Classes
Group A (Advanced A1 and A2 Levels)
Focused on practical techniques to improve speaking skills, giving each participant significant attention thanks to the small group size. The goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable environment.
Group B (Levels B1 and B2.1)
Designed to enhance spoken communication, teaching practical tools for expressing opinions and participating in discussions, while also expanding vocabulary and refining grammar.
Methodology
We focus on a positive learning experience, reviewing stages and techniques to optimize the learning process and knowledge acquisition. Exercises will be conducted to improve memory, and we will adjust expectations according to the different stages of learning. We will practice in various real-life situations to enhance the use of the language in practical contexts. Our space is specially designed to help you step out of your social bubble and engage in diverse scenarios, allowing you to make a significant leap in your Spanish practice.
Additional Activities
Our goal is to provide you not only with a space to practice Spanish but also to help you disconnect from daily stress. Your mental and physical well-being will directly influence the learning process.
We will offer morning activities such as countryside walks, meditation, and, if you're up for it, an Ice Bath experience. One of the highlight activities includes interacting with horses, which will positively contribute to your balance and well-being. We’ll enjoy an evening of music, singing, and enjoying the best Spanish songs, accompanied by a good wine or another beverage of your choice.

We have a little surprise planned that you're sure to love.
