ArchitectureThe house, once a sacred site, has been lovingly restored. The gardens that were then part of the monks' lives and the natural spring, originally enclosed in a plastic pipe, have been completely renovated. Now the spring bubbles freely, attracting numerous native birds that find shelter there. The house and pool were built using the existing walls and arches, with all new materials sourced locally. The stone paving in the courtyards and garden, for example, comes from the Carcabuey ancestral quarry. Special effort was made to rebuild the original stone walls around the property to create a natural and harmonious ambience that serves as a habitat for many small insects and lizards. Local craftsmen and materials were always preferred during the renovation. All doors and windows were made by a local master carpenter, the walls by a local stonemason. When materials such as glass could not be sourced locally, the most efficient and sustainable suppliers were chosen.

FoodThe vegetable garden, which guests can use, is completely organic and irrigated by the natural spring.

EnvironmentThe property gets most of its energy from a solar panel system. A biological septic tank has been built for water treatment. Most of the water comes from a natural spring that flows past the property. The spring also irrigates the organic garden and the rest of the outdoor area, as the hermits did in the past. The pool is filled with the spring water and maintained by a salt purification system, which makes it particularly pleasant. Carcabuey, the village where the property is located, has protected 95% of its area as a natural park. Nature and climate are top priorities here. Ermita del Carmen, as part of the "Agrupación de casas rurales de Carcabuey", actively supports the goals and objectives of this community.

Well-BeingThere is a huge pool where you can swim a few laps or just float around.
