Your Team's Third Place
A full-property buyout for team offsites of 10–20 people, 110 km and about 1h15 from Madrid and Barajas airport. Accommodation, coworking and meals on site, quoted per group. It sits between your HQ and everyone's kitchen table, close enough that the travel day doesn't eat into the week.

The Corporate Program
Work Among Cows, Not Crowds
Give your team a breath of fresh air, literally. The Corporate Program gets your employees out of the office and into a rural coworking space for a few days. Deep work, a workshop, or just four walls that aren't the usual ones. Hamlet's Friends is your team's Third Place, somewhere between headquarters and the home office.
Turn up and get to work
Nobody on your team has to think about payment, WiFi, drinks or who is bringing the coffee. Pick a desk, open the laptop, start working. The rest of it is our problem, and it's already in the package.
Flexible Workspaces
200 m² of ergonomic desks, quiet corners, and spots where a video call has trees behind you
All-Inclusive
Fast WiFi, coffee, tea and everything else, included. No invoices, no expense claims
Professional Infrastructure
Meeting rooms, a screen for presentations, and a printer that actually works
A New Work benefit people remember
Recruiters run out of things to offer. Here's one they don't have: a week of work in a rural coworking space, among cows rather than commuter trains. It says more about how you treat your people than a line about work-life balance in the job ad.
Why Hamlet's Friends for Your Team?
Escape the City
No commute, no notifications from the desk next door. Just your team, and oak woodland out the window.
Real Team Building
Cooking together, walking up the hill, sitting round a fire. People talk differently once they have done that.
Productive Work
A real coworking space with fast fibre, meeting rooms and chairs your back will still forgive on Friday.
One booking, one bill
Beds, desks, meals and whatever you do in the afternoons. We run the logistics so you can run the week.
What teams come here for
Team Retreats & Offsites
A few days for the strategy conversation that never fits into a Tuesday. Most groups come here to decide something, and they leave having decided it.
Workshops & Training
A day, or a week. Skills training, a design sprint, leadership work. The room is quiet and nobody is going to interrupt you.
Corporate Events
Summer parties, Christmas dinners, the anniversary nobody wants to mark in a function room. Up to 200 guests on the finca.
Hackathons & Sprints
Heads down for a few days, with nothing outside the gate to pull anyone away. Fibre, screens, and food that shows up.
What's Included?
Coworking Space
200 m² of workspace, chairs built for real workdays, and fibre that holds
Meeting Rooms
Rooms with a door that closes, for the sessions nobody else needs to hear
Accommodation
Cabins sleeping 2-4, each with its own bathroom and kitchen
Meals at El Molino
Our chef at El Molino, two minutes' walk away, builds the menu around your programme and what the region is growing. Garden BBQ if the weather holds. Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus are standard.
Activities
Walking, cooking, padel, and nights dark enough to see the stars
Event Support
Someone from the team on site the whole way through
No banquet menu, because there is no banquet
El Molino is our own restaurant, two minutes' walk away in the village. Our chef builds the menu around your programme and around what the region is actually growing that week. That is a conversation, not a folder with options A, B and C. When the weather earns it there is a garden BBQ instead. Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus are standard here, not a favour.

Team offsites & company retreats near Madrid
Looking for a team offsite near Madrid, or a company retreat somewhere rural? Hamlet's Friends is about an hour and a quarter from the capital, roughly 110 km down the A-5, and nothing like the open-plan office you left. We're in Nuño Gómez, in the Sierra de San Vicente, province of Toledo. Oak woodland, granite hills and real quiet do more for a team than any hotel conference floor in the city.
The whole site is yours. A coworking space with two 600 Mbps fibre lines and meeting rooms for the sessions, cabins for the nights, and the countryside for everything in between: walks, long dinners, a fire, a sky full of stars. We run the logistics, you run the team. People remember this kind of week, and the travel is short enough that nobody arrives wrecked.
What teams say after an offsite here
What a day here actually looks like
No two offsites run the same way, but this is the rhythm most teams settle into. It's also the bit you'll end up describing to everyone back at the office before anyone signs off on it.
- 09:00Breakfast together, then the working session in the meeting room. Dual 600 Mbps if you need to dial someone in
- 13:30Lunch at El Molino, two minutes' walk, cooked by our chef out of whatever is in season
- 16:00Outside. A walk up into the Sierra de San Vicente, bouldering, or cooking together, whichever your team will actually enjoy
- 20:30Long table, fire, and the conversation that never happens in a meeting room
How far ahead to plan
Most teams come to us six to eight months before the dates they want, which is a comfortable amount of notice, particularly for the two busy stretches, September to November and January. Plans change and gaps open, though. Shorter notice works more often than people expect, so ask rather than assuming the date has gone.
How we quote
There is no per-delegate rate card here, and that is deliberate. A two-night workshop for twelve and a three-day kickoff for forty are different events with different needs, and one headline number would be wrong for both. Tell us your dates, your headcount and what you actually want out of the days. A decision made. A team that knows each other. A product shipped. Then we come back with a real proposal covering accommodation, workspace, meals and whatever else the programme needs. One group at a time means we build it around you instead of around a template.
Offsite questions, answered
- How many people can you host?
- Offsites here usually run 10–20 people, and a party can go to 200. Ten accommodation units sleep the whole group on site, so nobody drives back to a hotel at midnight.
- Do we get the whole place to ourselves?
- Yes. One group at a time, the whole property. No other guests, no wedding party in the room next door.
- How far is it from Madrid and the airport?
- 110 km, about 1h15 from central Madrid, and the same from Barajas down the A-5. Close enough for a Monday start, far enough that nobody nips back to the office.
- What does an offsite cost?
- Every group gets its own quote. A two-night workshop for 12 and a three-day kickoff for 40 need different things. Tell us dates and headcount, and you get a real number, not a brochure.
- How far ahead should we book?
- Most teams plan six to eight months ahead, especially the September–November and January peaks. Shorter notice works more often than people expect, so ask.
- What is included?
- Beds, coworking and meeting rooms, and the run of the grounds. Meals come from our own chef at El Molino, two minutes' walk away, on a menu built around what the region is growing that week.
- What exactly do meals cover?
- Meals are quoted with the rest of the programme, not off a separate rate card. There is no standard per-delegate food price here for the same reason there is no per-delegate room price. A two-night workshop for twelve and a three-day kickoff for forty eat differently. Send us the dates, the headcount and the shape of the days, and the proposal covers the meals along with everything else. Our chef at El Molino builds the menu once the programme is settled.
- Can you handle dietary requirements?
- Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and low-stimulant menus are standard here, and the chef writes them as menus in their own right rather than taking things off a plate. Tell us what your group needs when you book. Allergies included, and be specific. It goes into the planning with the rest of the programme. El Molino is our own kitchen, so you're talking to the person who does the cooking, not sending a request down a chain to a contractor.
- Do we eat the same thing three times a day?
- No, and you do not eat in the same room three times a day either. El Molino is a two-minute walk off the finca, in the village, so dinner is a change of scene and not the same hall with the lights turned down. It is still our restaurant and our chef, so it is still one quote and one invoice, rather than a caterer, a venue and a restaurant booking to juggle. The carta is seasonal and the menus get built around your days.
