The now famous Encuentros de Arte 2010 will shortly kick off in the white washed village of Genalguacil from 1-15 August.

As the event is hosted every 2yrs the narrow streets are literally littered with sculptures, artists are invited from all over the world to come & create sculptures, paintings and installations while in residence during the festival.

Its an event that shouldn’t be missed with plenty of hands on activities & workshops for children & adults.

¡Hello Glampers!

Thanks to the guys at The Guardian and GoGlamping we’ve already been inundated with inquiries, thanks so much for the interest & hold tight, we’ll be “opening our doors or awnings in August”.

In the mean time, here’s a little more info about cloud house, or take a sneak preview of our website at Cloudhouse.es ;

An inspired mountain yurt hideaway, located close to the white washed village of Genalguacil in the stunning Rio Genal Valley and set against the spectacular backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja mountain range.

Cloud House offers a personalised holiday experience off the beaten track, yet within sight of the picturesque villages that bespeckle this region of Andalucia.

We provide the luxury of a private villa in the rustic setting of a 300 year old self sufficient hill farm, set deep within the mediterranean cork oak forest.

Here you can escape the city & reconnect with nature from your own mountain hideaway where river pools & rope swings are never too far away.

With a choice of accommodation, you can either experience the thrill & tranquility of sleeping under canvas in our luxurious felt lined Mongolian Gers complete with wooden deck platforms, large handmade beds & locally sourced olive wood furniture, or truly pamper yourself with our lovingly restored rustic farm Cottages.

Personalised family holidays by Cloud House.

Dare to be different

Be part of the adventure.

Thanks to The Guardian for the mention in their Glamping feature “Carry on glamping: Europe’s poshest, coolest camping experiences”

Cloud House Farm, Andalucia

Cloud House Farm is a mountain hideaway that will open its doors, or awnings, in August 2010. There are a number of secret yurt spots deep in a cork oak forest on this 300-year-old farm, plus rope swings and river swimming here in the Rio Genal valley, with the Sierra Bermeja mountains forming the perfect backdrop. Day trips could include a hike or a mountain-bike expedition, or just stroll around the farm until you find the perfect wild swimming spot.
