The only place you can truly escape the pressures of the city
The mix of travelling by bike and a beautiful but remote Ecovillage in the middle of the mountains might not seem like an easy fit, but Bart and Paulina went out of their way to make it work for us.
They would bring us to the village, provide amazing fresh food (and coffee!!!) and within a week they even gave us 2 mountainbikes to use to get to and from the town!
The place that they have built with the reformed Andalucian farmhouses, the fireplace, the communal outside kitchen and terrace transform people.
You can interact with the people the same way as you interact with Bart and Paulina; if you feel like it you can spend the whole day together and work on amazing projects, and if you don’t you are totally free to retreat and have a ‘you-day’
As an artist I really found myself here; the interesting characters coming and going, the slow rhytm of the Andalucian countryside and the natural food from the garden released me in a meditative way from the pressures that I had built up in my mind.
Over the years we have lived in many places, but this was the first one thay felt hard to say goodbye to. We are already thinking of our next time to go here, and if you are looking to let go of your stress, so should you.
This place can be a home to basically anyone;
- Van livers
- Digital nomads
- Writers
- Artists
- Travellers by bike
Muchos gracias Paulina and Bart, hasta la proxima!
Paulina and Bart have created a loving, intentional environment that makes it possible to step out of the rat race and reconnect with what actually matters.
I’m an artist from the United States preparing applications for a master’s degree, and this residency was the perfect place to focus, reflect, and truly deepen my work. The studio is stunning, with beautiful natural light, an easel, and a projector; everything you need to fully sink into a creative practice. Paulina and Bart are incredibly generous with their knowledge, especially when it comes to local materials and the history of the land, which makes working here feel grounded and alive.
What makes this place especially rich is the mix of people it attracts: artists, travelers, and digital nomads from all over. The conversations, shared meals, recommendations, and bits of hard-won wisdom feel like the opening pages of a novel: a gathering of distinct characters, each with their own accents, music, histories, vocabulary, and flavors to share.
Life here moves at a human pace: breakfast and coffee together every morning, visiting the chickens and dogs who live on the land, exploring the stunning mountain trails,, grilling chorizo and fish, clinking glasses of local red wine, and laughing around fires as the sun goes down. It’s a place of care, beauty, and presence, and I’m profoundly grateful to have spent time here.
Such a beautiful place to unwind. Rustic rural life with great comfort and fantastic hosts.
I came to work remotely in a beautiful environment and REC.ON did not disappoint. When I arrived we had an artist in residency. It was great to see the pieces he was working on develop over a couple of weeks.
There is plenty of space for co-working with fast internet, plenty of electrical points and tables to work at. I was able to do my zoom calls with no problems. If you need private working space there are places to hide away to focus on getting work done quickly so you can get back to enjoying rural Spanish life.
The wood fired hot tub and the nights sat drinking wine and eating BBQ by the fire will remain memories forever. Make sure you stay long enough to have a moonless night. The sky's come alive and you will see stars you never knew existed.
We had the best 2 days with wonderful hosts Paulina and Bart and a mix of really lovely interesting Travellers happy to share their stories with us . Breakfast with the tribe was truly good for the soul stuff with Paulinas delicious baking and some yummy bread from the tribe 😋 😊 honestly never experienced this level of kindness and willingness to share precious time with guests anywhere else on our travels . Location is stunning...we hiked up the mountains behind the camp and its breathtaking. Facilities were comfortable beautifully clean and willingly shared. For a brilliant experience with like minded conscious travelers this is perfect. Thank you Paulina and Bart we loved it and we will be back one day ❤️
REC.On is a space great for travelers and artists seeking seclusion in a unique setting. The hosts, Paulina and Bart, are very hospitable. They share with residents their love for Spain and vast knowledge about the culture. Residents are able to learn about upcycling, the mission of their work and see its impact. The Boliami town is one of many to experience. A resident will feel welcomed by the locals, inspired by the natural scenery, and have designated time to create.
i had an AMAZING time staying at project REC.ON for one month. paulina and bart are kind, friendly and supportive hosts who made my stay a delightful experience. this is a great experience for artists, digital nomads, travelers and anyone looking for a getaway that’s both secluded and guided by a pleasant community. the living spaces, garden, treehouse, outdoor areas and the entire project overall is beautifully handmade with plenty of opportunity to reflect and make new memories. i recommend project REC.ON to anyone reading this!!!
I’m a graphic designer from the US and I’ve spent a great week with the wonderful hosts and their guests at this art residency. It’s a perfect tranquil place surrounded by mountains offering great hiking during the day and amazing stargazing experience by night. Perfect, very affordable place if you want to have a quiet time to work on your project and meet like minded creative people.
We stayed for two months in the apartment and it was fantastic. Stable, fast Wi-Fi kept our remote work on track, and after hours it was easy to switch off—gorgeous mountain views, peaceful sunsets, and plenty of spots to relax. We could also enjoy the goodies from the garden. Zucchini, raspberries and more! A great base for exploring and always nice to return to. Paula and Bart are incredible—helpful, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommended!
