Hamlet's Friends

EVENTS IN THE SIERRA

110 km and about 1h15 from Madrid, our finca opens its gates to weddings, team offsites and yoga retreats — a place where your event can be exactly what you imagine it to be.

Your idea, our place

We realise your vision in our place, making the best of what is already here — the sierra, the silence, the long sunsets, the unhurried meals.

Hamlet's Friends is a 3.5-hectare finca at the foot of the Sierra de San Vicente in the Toledo countryside, 110 km and about 1h15 from Madrid via the A-5. Exclusive hire for 10 to 200 guests, with ten accommodation units so everyone sleeps on site. Every event is quoted individually. We host one at a time, so the only schedule that matters is yours.

Three ways to gather here

Every event has its own rhythm. We've shaped three formats around the people who actually book us — couples, teams and teachers — and the structure stays flexible from there.

Intimate Weddings

20 — 60 guests

Celebrate over a full weekend rather than a single afternoon. The sierra does the decoration; we take care of everything else, from the ceremony on the porch to the long sobremesa under the stars.

  • Five wooden cabins and five hostal rooms — your guests stay over
  • Castilian menu by our chef at El Molino, or a garden BBQ
  • Ceremonies on the covered porch, in the garden, or under the oak
  • A small team that knows every guest by name

A change of context changes the conversation

Team Offsites & Corporate Retreats

10 — 20 people

Trade the office for the sierra. Our 200 m² coworking with dual 600 Mbps fibre and a videoconferencing-ready meeting room becomes your strategy space for kick-offs, planning weeks and product sprints — with the rest of the finca as your extended room.

  • Dual 600 Mbps fibre, videoconferencing, whiteboards, printer
  • Cabins and rooms for ten to twenty — exclusive use for your team
  • Activities that don't feel like team-building: sierra hike, communal cooking, wine tasting with the village, bouldering
  • Custom menus designed around your programme, not the other way around

Silence is part of the practice

Yoga & Wellness Retreats

10 — 20 participants

The Sierra de San Vicente gives a yoga retreat what it really needs: silence, clean Castilian light, and the right distance from Madrid. Our space adapts to your format — bright indoor practice room, garden mats under the oaks, private cabins so participants are rested by day three.

  • Bright 200 m² indoor practice room, or open lawns under the oaks
  • Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus by our chef
  • Private cabins so participants are rested, not exhausted
  • Full buyout for groups of 10 — 20, or shared format for smaller circles

At the table with our chef

El Molino

At the table with our chef

El Molino — the restaurant a two-minute walk from the event space — cooks for every gathering we host.

Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine built around the produce of the sierra: vegetables from a garden a few metres from the kitchen, and the rest from the people who work this land — the herder who grazes the flock on the sierra, the traditional mill that presses the oil, the baker from the next village. We design every menu with you — weddings, working lunches, vegetarian retreats, or a long unhurried sobremesa. Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus are standard rather than a favour, designed by the chef instead of subtracted from a plate; just tell us when you book. A BBQ in the garden or a multi-course dinner under the beams: whichever suits your event.

1h15 from Madrid

Take the A-5 west and you're here in an hour — but the moment you arrive, the city feels much further away. We sit at the foot of the Sierra de San Vicente, the granite hills where Castilla-La Mancha begins. No light pollution, no urban hum, real silence.

  • Madrid to finca: 1h15 via the A-5 (110 km)
  • Nearest village: Nuño Gómez, Toledo
  • Toledo: 1 hour · Talavera de la Reina: 30 min
  • Oak woods, olive groves, granite peaks

What our guests and hosts say

Venue questions, answered

How many guests can you take?
From 10 to 200 depending on the format. Weddings here are typically 20–60 guests over a full weekend, which is the size the property is happiest at.
Is it exclusive hire?
Always. One event at a time, the whole 3.5-hectare property — porch, garden, oak woodland and all ten accommodation units.
Can guests stay on site?
Yes. Five wooden cabins and five Molino rooms sleep your group, so the evening does not end with everyone hunting for a taxi.
What about food?
Our own chef cooks at El Molino, two minutes’ walk away, and builds a custom menu with local produce. Long tables, no rubber chicken.
What kinds of events do you host?
Weddings, company offsites and kickoffs, yoga and creative retreats, and milestone parties. If it needs a whole place rather than a function room, it fits.
How do I get a quote?
Tell us the date, the headcount and roughly what you have in mind, and we will come back with a real proposal. Get in touch — we answer fast.

Plan your event

Every event is different, so we don't list standard prices — we build a quote around your group, your dates, and what you want the weekend to feel like. Tell us your idea; we'll take it from there.
