REC.ON Spain

Such a beautiful place to unwind.

Rustic rural life with fantastic amenities. The wood-fired hot tub and the nights sat drinking wine and eating BBQ by the fire will remain memories forever.

We had the best 2 days with wonderful coliving hosts and a mix of really lovely interesting travelers happy to share their stories with us. Breakfast with the tribe was truly good for the soul stuff with delicious baking and some yummy bread from the tribe 😋 😊 honestly never experienced this level of kindness and willingness to share precious time with guests anywhere else on our travels. Location is stunning... we hiked up the mountains behind the camp and it's breathtaking. Facilities were comfortable, beautifully clean, and willingly shared. For a brilliant experience with like-minded conscious travelers, this is perfect. Thank you, we loved it and we will be back one day ❤️

I’m a filmmaker from Germany and just spent an inspiring week at a coliving, an art residency and ecovillage tucked into the Sierra Mara–Los Vélez mountains—quiet by day for deep focus, and breathtakingly dark skies for stargazing by night. The community cultivates a warm, international atmosphere that makes it easy to connect with like-minded creatives while still having the space to develop a project on your own schedule. If you’re looking for an affordable, tranquil place to write, edit, or plan production while meeting thoughtful people, this residency is a gem.

Setting and vibe
The residency sits in a tiny village of just a handful of houses surrounded by hiking trails and wide open landscapes—ideal for recharging, or long creative walks. Days are slow and quiet for focused work, while evenings often turn into relaxed community moments under a remarkably clear night sky far from light pollution. It’s the kind of environment that resets your pace and lets ideas breathe without distraction.

Community
The coliving was founded by individuals who bring a thoughtful, art-and-ecology ethos to everything from the studios to the shared meals, making the space feel both professional and welcoming. The mix of artists, writers, and digital nomads creates organic feedback loops and spontaneous collaborations without any pressure to perform. You feel supported but never micromanaged—a rare balance for residencies.

Workspaces and amenities
Between the gallery/coworking areas, outdoor creative spots, and calm coliving rooms, there’s a great variety of places to write, edit, or storyboard. Practicalities are covered—kitchen access, Wi-Fi, and quiet spaces—so you can keep a consistent workflow and still step out for a hike when you need perspective. Pricing is transparent and fair for long stays, which makes it a smart option if you’re budgeting for a focused creative block.

Coliving is a space great for travelers and artists seeking seclusion in a unique setting. They are very hospitable. They share with residents their love for Spain and vast knowledge about the culture. Residents are able to learn about upcycling, the mission of their work, and see its impact. The Boliami town is one of many to experience. A resident will feel welcomed by the locals, inspired by the natural scenery, and have designated time to create.

I had an AMAZING time staying at this coliving for one month. The staff are kind, friendly, and supportive, who made my stay a delightful experience. This is a great experience for artists, digital nomads, travelers, and anyone looking for a getaway that’s both secluded and guided by a pleasant community. The living spaces, garden, treehouse, outdoor areas, and the entire project overall are beautifully handmade with plenty of opportunity to reflect and make new memories. I recommend this coliving to anyone reading this!!!

I’m a graphic designer from the US and I’ve spent a great week with the wonderful hosts and their guests at this art residency. It’s a perfect tranquil place surrounded by mountains offering great hiking during the day and an amazing stargazing experience by night. Perfect, very affordable place if you want to have a quiet time to work on your project and meet like-minded creative people.

A magical place in the middle of nature. The space is full of soulful art, every corner transmits creativity and peace. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, perfect for disconnecting and letting yourself be inspired. Moreover, the parking is very convenient, making the visit much easier.
I want to especially highlight the incredible staff member who shows dedication, kindness, and passion for art in every detail. They make you feel welcome from the very first moment and ensure that the experience is unique and special.
Without a doubt, a place I recommend 100% and will return to whenever I can.

We stayed for two months in the apartment and it was fantastic. Stable, fast Wi-Fi kept our remote work on track, and after hours it was easy to switch off—gorgeous mountain views, peaceful sunsets, and plenty of spots to relax. We could also enjoy the goodies from the garden. Zucchini, raspberries, and more! A great base for exploring and always nice to return to. They are incredible—helpful, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommended!

I feel so lucky to have found this coliving for a six-week visit while working on my book. Stayed in the coliving apartment and loved the community life, the quiet in this beautiful setting in the hills, and all the great elements that have been created, like the garden, the outdoor seating areas, outdoor shower, and especially the treehouse, which I more or less moved into! Enjoyed starting the day with a community coffee and breakfast, and it helped me feel part of things as I traveled there alone. I was so lucky to have great companions in the apartment and enjoyed the times when we came together for celebrations. This is a very special place and I hope to be back soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

They really go out of their way to make sure you are happy, healthy, and included.
After a month and a half, it feels like we are a part of the neighborhood.
They have gifted us harvest from the permaculture garden—you will not believe how good an onion can taste—among many other things we shared; we really are thankful to have such wonderful people as semi-nomads.
Gracias a :)
