About Us

Meet your hosts

Simon & Lucy Woollons

In 2007 we made a life changing move to live in the beautiful Spanish Pyrenees, in the autonomous state of Aragon.

An abandoned farmhouse in the tiny hamlet of Albella became our project, and our labour of love. Today, the same farmhouse has been lovingly restored, and is both our home, and the base for our Small Group Holidays.

Sustainable Tourism

Our commitment to local people, culture and the environment was recognised when we were awarded a grant under a European initiative for the preservation of rural communities.

Food with flare!

Our delicious meals are prepared with love and great care by us.
In season vegetables come from our own organic veg garden, and Lucy’s home-made bread is famous!

Green Philosophy

From our Responsible Travel Initiatives to our geothermal heating, photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting, we are passionate about conservation and the preservation of the environment.

Home Grown and Organic

“And of course the evening meals, the freshness, the newness and exciting menu prepared with the same passion and served by the exceptional and warm hosts, Lucy and Simon”

Stay in Comfort

During our 5 year renovation project we tried to think of everything for your comfort and enjoyment, without losing the feel of a traditional Pyrenean farmhouse.

“The accommodation was superb, away from mass tourism in the beautifully renovated 17th century farmhouse.” Droplaug – Walking Holiday 2018

FAMILY ATMOSPHERE

A very warm welcome awaits all our guests. In fact, from the moment you arrive we welcome you as friends. During your stay our house is your home, and we encourage all our guests to treat it as such.

PERSONAL TOUCH

We love what we do. This shows in the unique personal service we offer, and the attention to detail when planning our itineraries or choosing our guides for each of our Small Group Holidays.  We care about your comfort and your stay.  We want our holiday to be the one you remember.

FULLY INCLUSIVE

Your holiday includes everything: afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks, 3 course meals, carefully selected local wine, coffee, infusions, breakfasts and lunches.  Even restaurant meals and refreshments when you are out.  Therefore, you only need to bring cash to buy gifts, make a voluntary donation, or to tip one of our guides.

UNIQUE SETTING

The tiny farming hamlet of Albella is a magical place to live. The farmhouse is surrounded by nature. We have everything, geology, history, culture and customs, flora and fauna. In fact, we live in the UNESCO Geopark of Sobrabre, a site of geological interest.  This used to be the beach!!

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

We take our environmental and social responsibility very seriously. From restoration work to direct financial support for local projects. Our love of nature goes hand in hand with our commitment to environmental issues. Find out more about our responsible travel policy using this link.
