Exclusive 7-day writing week
A fully managed, off-grid writing retreat venue. We handle the ground logistics, home-cooked meals, and hospitality; you focus entirely on teaching and inspiring your writers. Choose the format that fits your teaching style: - Intensive Masterclass: Combine daily workshops, morning drafting, and evening group critiques. - Deep Work Residency: Host an un-tutored, distraction-free editing week for your advanced students or alumni. - Creative Break: Blend light writing prompts with long lunches, pool time, and mountain walks. - Literary Salon: Offer an exclusive, high-ticket pitch and manuscript polish week. Designed for intimate groups of 5 writers in private individual casas (or up to 10 guests for writing duos and couples).
Our partnership model
Adding an international residency to your courses shouldn’t mean becoming a full-time travel agent. We handle the daily friction of hospitality, dining, and logistics in Spain so you can direct 100% of your energy into your students’ manuscripts and creative breakthroughs.
Complete Curriculum Freedom
You have total control over the schedule, teaching format, and group culture. Meal times, quiet writing hours, and evening gatherings— we adapt to fit your specific course design
Fixed Fee
You earn a flat rate per participant. We take care of all the costs: the exclusive estate takeover, 3 daily meals, and local transport.
Zero Logistical Friction
You never have to troubleshoot, coordinate grocery deliveries, or organize local transport.
