Hamlet's Friends

EVENTS IN THE SIERRA

110 km from Madrid, about an hour door to door. We hand over the whole finca for weddings, team offsites and yoga retreats, and the days run the way you decide.

Your idea, our place

You bring the plan. We work with what is already here, and there is plenty of it: the sierra, the silence, long sunsets, meals nobody rushes.

Hamlet's Friends is a 3.5-hectare finca at the foot of the Sierra de San Vicente, out in the Toledo countryside, 110 km and about an hour from Madrid on the A-5. We hire it out whole, for groups of 10 to 200. Every event gets its own quote. We take one booking at a time, so the only timetable that matters is yours.

Three ways to gather here

Every event has its own rhythm. The three formats below come from the people who actually book us: couples, teams and yoga teachers. Nothing about them is fixed.

A wedding that begins on Friday

Intimate Weddings

20 to 60 guests

Celebrate over a whole weekend instead of one afternoon. The sierra handles the decoration. We handle the rest, from the ceremony on the porch to the long sobremesa under the stars.

  • 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

Team Offsites & Corporate Retreats

10 to 20 people

Trade the office for the sierra. The 200 m² coworking has dual 600 Mbps fibre and a meeting room set up for video calls, which covers kick-offs, planning weeks and product sprints. Everything outside it counts as workspace too.

  • Dual 600 Mbps fibre, videoconferencing, whiteboards, printer
  • The place is yours alone, with no other bookings
  • 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 to 20 participants

The Sierra de San Vicente gives a yoga retreat the things it actually needs: silence, clean Castilian light, and enough distance from Madrid. The rest bends around your format. A bright indoor practice room, mats on the grass under the oaks, private cabins so people 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 to 20, or a shared format for smaller circles

El Molino

At the table with our chef

El Molino is our restaurant, a two-minute walk from the event space, and it cooks for every gathering we host.

Mediterranean and Spanish cooking, built on what the sierra grows. The vegetables come from a garden a few metres from the kitchen. The rest comes 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 in the next village. We design every menu with you, for weddings, working lunches, vegetarian retreats, or a sobremesa that nobody wants to end. Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus are standard here, not a favour. The chef builds them rather than subtracting from a plate. Say so when you book. A BBQ in the garden, or several courses under the beams. Your call.

One hour from Madrid

Take the A-5 west and you're here in an hour. Then you get out of the car and Madrid feels a lot further away than that. We sit at the foot of the Sierra de San Vicente, the granite hills where Castilla-La Mancha begins. No light pollution, no traffic hum, actual silence.

  • Madrid to finca: about an hour 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 usually run 20 to 60 guests over a full weekend, which is the size this place is happiest at.
Is it exclusive hire?
Always. One event at a time, and you get the whole 3.5-hectare property: porch, garden and oak woodland.
What about food?
Our own chef cooks at El Molino, a two-minute walk away, and builds the menu with you from local produce. Long tables, no rubber chicken.
What kinds of events do you host?
Weddings, company offsites and kickoffs, yoga and creative retreats, milestone parties. If it needs a whole place and not a function room, it fits here.
How do I get a quote?
Tell us the date, the headcount and roughly what you have in mind, and we'll come back with a real proposal. Get in touch and you'll hear back fast.

Plan your event

Every event is different, so there is no standard price list. We build the quote around your group, your dates and what you want the weekend to feel like. Tell us the idea and we'll take it from there.
