Here at Vacas Gordas everyone is welcome and catered for - individuals, couples, families, groups, young and old, even your pets. Crisp white linen and towels are provided.

All the facilities of the house, gardens and terraces are at your disposal. You are free to roam or rest in the shade of the olive trees or soak up the heat by the pool. Swimming Pool Breakfast Terrace

You can choose from the following packages and adapt it to suit.

Bed and Breakfast
Ideal if you plan to explore the surrounding area and organise your own time. This option provides accommodation and a full breakfast, with the option of lunch (packed if required) and/or supper arranged on a daily basis.

The food was spectacular and very healhy. Its the best I have eaten in a long while.

All-inclusive
Start your day with a healthy breakfast with lots of choice - much more than just a continental breakfast.
Lunch is usually a light buffet or a picnic for those out and about exploring. Supper always begins with traditional Andalucian tapas followed by a three-course feast. You have 24 hour access to drinks and drink-making facilities.

All in all, very good value for money. Definitely time to unwind in a warm, nurturing environment with great food beautiful, aromatic surroundings and lovely people.

Courses
Over the years Cortijo Vacas Gordas has developed an excellent reputation for its work with groups. The buildings and gardens provide a perfect venue for structured couses, retreats or just "being".  As well as its six bedrooms with en-suite facilities there is a large indoor group space, perfect for practical workshops and activities. There is also a well equipted treatment room, two guest lounges and many outdoor spaces and terraces large enough or small enough for people to be alone or part of a group. Course leaders are invited to bring groups of up to 12 participants. Remember we offer one free place if you bring more than 6. Contact us to dicuss your specific course requirements and to arrange a program to suit the group and your budget.

It was such a joyful, inspiring, relaxing and yet energising week. I feel I have come back a different person, all healed up from the rigours of winter here, and looking forward to the future.

Kick back, refresh and remember that laughter is really is nourishment for the soul. I had no idea it was possible to pass a day without answering a phone.

Self-catering
If you fancy doing it all yourself this option offers real flexibility and utilises all the buildings and facilities. It is the ideal setting for a large group gathering of friends and / or family as it can accommodate up to 10 people. This self catering option gives you the use of the gardens and the pool. The accommodation consists of 6 double bedrooms  (2 of which can take 3 people), most with en-suite facilities together with the lovingly restored and modernised olive mill which has a fully equipped kitchen, very spacious open plan dining room and lounge ( with wood burning stove for those colder winter months) . All buildings have terraces over looking the hillside of olive and almond groves. The self catering price (see Prices) includes all bed linen and bathroom towels, hot water, gas and electricity. And remember if you don't fancy doing all the cooking yourselves we offer superb home cooked evening meals if required.
