Retreat house
Rural retreat house for yoga and wellbeing near Barcelona
Farmhouse for retreats, rented in its entirety for 16 to 25 people. 50 minutes from Barcelona and 24 km from Girona.
A retreat needs three things you don’t find just anywhere: silence, nature and a space that is yours alone. Can Micos is an 18th-century retreat farmhouse in Riudarenes (Girona) rented as a whole: no other guests, no city noise and the Montseny in the background.
For the group: 9 bedrooms with 9 bathrooms (16 to 25 people), 115 m² of covered space next to the garden to practise rain or shine, a 4,000 m² garden and a relaxation area by the pool for free time.
We have been welcoming groups for more than 26 years, and more and more organisers of yoga retreats, meditation, mindfulness, therapy, writing or personal development choose the farmhouse for weekend or multi-day gatherings.
You take care of the programme and guiding the group; we, Carmen and Dani, make sure the house is ready so that all you have to do is be present.

Panoramic room — up to 25 people
The heart of the retreat. Natural light, views of the garden and room for the whole group at once: perfect for meditation, circles, talks, workshops or indoor yoga when it’s cold.
It can be cleared to leave the floor free for mats. If you need a sound system or projector for a session, we arrange it with a trusted company.
9 bedrooms for real rest
Total capacity: 16 to 25 people.
- 8 bedrooms with en-suite private bathroom
- 1 bedroom with a bathroom without shower in the hallway
Designed for rest:
- Flexible layout: each room is made up as a single, double or triple depending on how you want to split participants. If there are 18 of you, we prepare 18 beds.
- Guaranteed rest: all have natural light, high-quality mattresses, air conditioning, heating and a ceiling fan.
- Ready to use: bed linen, towels for all participants and a hairdryer are included.
- Accessibility: 4 bedrooms on the ground floor. Ramp access to the farmhouse available.
115 m² covered, a pool and a 4,000 m² garden just for the group
The whole property is exclusively yours during the retreat. Nobody else comes in, nobody else interrupts.
- 115 m² covered area: the large barbecue porch is roofed and open to the garden. It’s the star space for retreats: the whole group fits with mats for yoga, movement or outdoor meditation even in rain or strong sun, and it then becomes the dining area for shared meals.
- Pool relaxation area: a quiet corner with lawn, 8 sun loungers, parasols and a 5×4 m pergola, with views over the fields and the Montseny. Perfect for free time between sessions, reading or simply doing nothing. The pool is in season from May to October and maintained the rest of the year (out of season the water is cold and there may be leaves). Out of season, swimming is at your own risk.
- Private garden (4,000 m²): lawns and shade for practising outdoors, walking in silence or sitting and looking at the Montseny.
- Living room with fireplace: for quieter evenings, reading or closing circles by the fire.
- Free parking: inside the property, with space for all the group’s vehicles.
A weekend retreat or several days?
Weekend — the most common option. Arrive on Friday afternoon, practise on Saturday and close on Sunday before heading home. Minimum 2 nights at weekends.
Multi-day retreats on weekdays — Monday to Friday or on the dates that best fit your programme. On weekdays there is more availability and even more silence.
Optional services to complete your retreat
Healthy catering option
We offer optional catering with menus designed for retreats:
- Full breakfasts to start the day
- Light, seasonal lunches and dinners with local produce
- Vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free menus on request
- Adapted to each participant’s dietary restrictions
If you prefer to cook yourselves or bring your own caterer, the kitchen is fully equipped and all yours.
More information on our catering page. Everything subject to availability.
Local yoga teacher
If you are organising a retreat and need support, we put you in touch with a local yoga professional who can lead sessions for all levels, no previous experience needed.
Sessions take place in the garden, in the panoramic room or in the covered area, depending on the weather and what the group wants.
Live art workshop — PincelHada
For creative or personal development retreats, we work with María Valverde (PincelHada), an artist from Santa Coloma de Farners specialising in live art experiences.
It’s not entertainment: it’s an activity that invites self-expression, brings the group together and leaves a visual memory of the retreat. It’s adapted to the theme and the participants.
It works especially well to close a day or the whole retreat.
Massage — rest and wellbeing
For wellbeing or multi-day retreats, we have contacts with trusted massage therapists who can come to the house. A massage session halfway through the retreat helps the body keep up with everything else.
To be arranged in advance when booking.
Sound and audiovisual equipment
If your programme includes music, talks or screenings, we arrange a sound system, projector and screen with a specialist company. It’s set up before you arrive and collected when you leave.
Why a retreat works better here
In a hotel or a shared centre there are always corridors, receptions and other groups.
At Can Micos, it’s only your group.
When participants know the space is theirs alone, they relax sooner and open up more. The silence of the countryside, shared meals in an 18th-century farmhouse and evenings by the fire do a large part of the work.
It’s not marketing: it’s what returning organisers tell us.
