Frequently Asked Questions
The questions guests ask us most about Hamlet's Friends.
Getting here & the area
We're in Nuño Gómez, Toledo, about an hour (110 km) by car from Madrid and from Madrid-Barajas airport. Most of that is motorway, and the last bit is quiet country road.
A car helps if you want to explore, and most guests bring one. There's plenty within walking distance of the village, though, and for longer trips we can help you arrange transport.
Hiking, cycling, yoga, swimming and community cooking nights. The sierra around us is oak woods, granite hills and empty tracks, so most of it starts at the gate.
Most guests drive, and it's about an hour from Madrid down the A-5, roughly 110 km. If you're coming without a car, take a train or bus to Talavera de la Reina, the nearest town, about 30 minutes away, and we'll help you sort out the last short hop into the village.
Yes, free parking on site, so you can drive right up. Most people come by car anyway, since it's the simplest way to reach the village and to get out into the sierra.
Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is about an hour away, Talavera de la Reina about 30 minutes, and the Sierra de San Vicente has hiking trails closer in. Toledo sits on a rock above the Tagus, with El Greco paintings in its churches and museums. Talavera is known for its ceramics, with markets and restaurants worth the trip. The sierra also has granite villages. Ask our team for maps, routes and local tips.
Nuño Gómez has 171 registered inhabitants and almost no light pollution, so on a clear night the sky gets properly crowded. Take a blanket outside, let your eyes adjust, and you'll understand why people stop bothering with Netflix in the evenings.
Your stay
Choose a wooden cabin with its own bedroom, living room, kitchenette and bathroom, or a room in the old mill with a private bathroom and a desk. Both come with the coworking space, the shared kitchen and community areas, the BBQ and dual 600 Mbps fibre.
Yes, well-behaved small and medium dogs and cats, up to 20 kg, are welcome, with a pet surcharge of €15 per cleaning. Please tell us when you book, so we can confirm it and give any other guests with allergies a heads-up.
You can choose between standalone wooden cabins and rooms in the Molino. Five cabins sit under the oak trees: one family cabin that sleeps four, from €104.50 a night, and four smaller ones from €71.50 a night for one guest. Each is self-contained, with its own bedroom, living room, kitchenette, bathroom and private terrace. The Molino is a restored two-storey building with five rooms, singles and doubles, each with a private bathroom and a desk to work at. The shared kitchen, garden, community room and coworking space are open to everyone staying.
Short list, and it's all about keeping Hamlet's Friends peaceful. Quiet hours run 23:00 to 08:00. No smoking indoors. Recycle, clean up after yourself in the shared spaces, and please flush nothing but toilet paper, because rural plumbing is unforgiving. For fire safety, open fires and BBQs aren't permitted during the red-alert period, roughly late June to mid-October.
Cleaning, bed linen and towels come with every cabin and room. Your cabin or room is cleaned before you arrive, and there's a daily cleaning service after that. Linen and towels are changed on longer stays or whenever you ask, and the basics are there too: soap, shower gel, toilet paper. There's a simple laundry service as well, just ask.
The village pool is public and open in July and August, and every cabaña gets one free day pass. There's a free padel court in the village too, if you fancy a game.
Solo travellers, couples and families all stay here: the family cabin sleeps four, the smaller cabins have their own bathroom and kitchenette, and the Molino rooms are singles and doubles. The smaller cabins mostly get booked by couples. A good share of our guests come alone, with the shared kitchen and community room there whenever they want company. Whoever you arrive as, you get privacy when you want it and people around when you don't.
Work & internet
Dual 600 Mbps fibre covers the coworking space and every cabin. That's enough for video calls, big uploads and a normal working day.
You can use the coworking space without staying the night: day passes and 5, 10 and 20-visit passes are open to anyone, and the multi-visit passes cost less per visit.
Dual 600 Mbps fibre, proper desks and chairs, meeting rooms and booths for video calls, a printer and the usual office supplies, coffee and tea on the house, and tables outside under the trees when the weather behaves. Coliving guests use all of it for free.
A registered business address in Nuño Gómez, Toledo, with mail and package handling, starts at €20/month plus VAT. It works as a domicilio social for registering a Spanish company, an S.L., with the Registro Mercantil. Same-day notifications and support in English, Spanish and German come with it. Real building, real people, no PO box.
Yes: the nightly rate drops from 7 nights and again from 30, and the cabins and Molino rooms work for the whole length of a digital nomad visa. Long stays are where the price really moves: from 7 nights a Molino room is €43 a night and a cabin from €65; from 30 nights a room is €19.80 and a cabin from €35.75, one guest, in every month of the year. With dual 600 Mbps fibre and the coworking space on site, working online here is straightforward.
Food & drink
Both: every cabin has its own kitchenette, there is a full shared kitchen, and El Molino, our own restaurant, is a two-minute walk into the village. It is open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner Wednesday to Saturday, so you can cook when you feel like it and walk over when you don't. You can also pre-order add-on baskets for the cabin: breakfast, BBQ sets, drinks. For groups and events our chef writes a menu around you. More about El Molino
El Molino, our own restaurant and the village bar, is a two-minute walk away, and the village also has a small supermarket and Taberna El Duende. El Molino is open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Saturday. The supermarket covers the basics, open weekdays 08:30 to 13:30 and 18:00 to 20:00, and there is a pharmacy. The taberna does traditional tapas and wine. Talavera de la Reina, about 30 minutes away, has the bigger shops and a lot more restaurants. Ask our team if you want a recommendation or a table booked.
Events, groups & extras
Yes, team offsites and corporate retreats are a big part of what we do. The 200 m² coworking space has dual 600 Mbps fibre, a meeting room set up for video calls, whiteboards and a printer, and the rest of the finca works as the break-out space. We take one group at a time and hand over the whole property, which suits teams of 10 to 20, and our chef builds the menus around your programme. Send us your dates and team size and we'll put a package together.
You can book the whole property for an event: we host one event at a time on a full-property buyout basis, for groups from 10 to 200, so the only diary that matters is yours. Weddings of 20 to 60 guests over a full weekend are our sweet spot: five cabins and five Molino rooms so people can stay the night, ceremonies on the covered porch, in the garden or under the oak, and Castilian menus from our own chef. Every event is quoted on its own, so tell us what you have in mind.
Yoga classes, haircuts and language exchanges are run by people in the area, and we set them up for you. Tell our team what you're after.
Booking, prices & policies
People stay for a couple of nights or for months. The minimum stay depends on the season and availability, so the booking system is the place to check for your dates.
Accommodation starts at €49.50 a night for one guest in a Molino room and €71.50 a night for one guest in a private cabin, and a coworking day pass is €25. What you pay depends on the season and on how long you stay: the nightly rate drops at 7 nights and again at 30, and booking direct gets you the best price. Live availability and exact rates are on the booking page.
A day pass is 25€. If you're in often, the multi-visit passes work out cheaper: 90€ for 5 visits, 150€ for 10 visits, or 200€ for 20 visits, which is the best rate we do. Companies and groups can ask for a team pass built around them. All prices include VAT.
Check-in from 13:00, check-out by 11:00, both at reception in the main building at the top of the site. Spanish law makes us register every guest, so we'll ask you to scan your ID before you arrive and show it when you get here. Turning up early or leaving late in the day? Leave your bags with us.
Book straight through the booking system on our website. Direct is the best rate we have, and the nightly rate comes down from 7 nights and again from 30. We take a 25% deposit to hold the dates, and the balance when you arrive. Credit card, bank transfer and selected online payment platforms all work. If your dates come up full, call us. We almost always find a way.
If you cancel more than 30 days before arrival, your deposit is fully refunded, minus any payment-provider fees. Within 30 days of arrival the deposit is non-refundable, and unused nights from an early departure aren't refunded. If you don't show up and haven't let us know, the full stay is charged. Life happens, though. For a genuine emergency like severe weather or illness, we'll look for a fair solution. To cancel, email us with your booking reference.
About Hamlet's Friends
Five of us, from Madrid and Berlin. Two Spaniards, two Germans, and a bit of mystery. We turned an old golf clubhouse in Nuño Gómez into a rural coworking and coliving space, because we think the countryside is due a reboot: the villages, the way people live and work, and whatever community turns up here. Stay a night and you'll probably meet us all by name.
Yes: you take a 15% commission when an event, retreat, party or group you introduce books. That's around €450 on a €3,000 team-building booking. You make the introduction and we handle everything else. Get in touch and we'll set you up.
We're a team from Madrid and Berlin. For the virtual office and mail handling, we help you in English, Spanish and German.
