Tara Casa is a country house set in the quiet village of La Magdalena in the Murcian countryside. The weather here is said by the ‘World Health’ organization to be the healthiest climate in the world. In the winter it is like permanent spring.
The country house used to be the village school back in the day and would have been the hub of this tiny village. It has now been lovingly converted by Vivienne and Dan the owners, into a retreat for guests.
At Tara Casa you can sit among the lemon and orange trees in the Mediterranean garden and listen to the sounds of the wind chimes, the birds and feel the gentle mountain breeze. A place to relax, far away from the daily routine of a busy life, a place to be.
The village is quiet and has no immediate local restaurants or amenities, so it is recommended to hire a car, or arrange transport with your hosts for visiting local places of interest, or eating out.
Get the ahhh feeling!
What’s that you might ask? The Ahhh feeling is the feeling you get after a few days of total rest and relaxation. This is when your nervous system switches properly from fight or flight, to the relaxation response.
Please note that all holidays at Tara Casa may be tailored to suit your needs. You can add in other activities besides Yoga and Pilates, which may include mosaic making or walking/birdwatching or just resting and having some treatment and therapies.
We are open all year round and holidays out of season can be very enjoyable. The weather in Murcia is a mild winter with plenty of sunshine, almost hot in the midday sun. The almond trees blossom in January making walking holidays the perfect activity early in the year. Easter holidays in Spain are always marked with fiesta´s and parades, after Easter the weather turns alot warmer and summer holidays begin. The hot weather lasts through to October and lazing be the pool is always a good option.
Location: La Magdalena is a tiny village in Murcia. The village is surrounded by almond groves and mountains; the closest range of mountains, the Sierra Espuna is a 45 minutes drive and is a stunning nature reserve. 25 minutes from the village is the port of Mazarron, forty minutes to the famous La Manga strip and the Mar Menor where people go to bathe in the salt lakes, with its many healing benefits. 45 minutes from the Cathedral City of Murcia, the capital. In this region you will also find some of the best golf courses around. Walking and cycling trails are abundant and protected beaches, here the typical Spanish countryside with its sleepy villages is seemingly behind modern times.
The nearest beach of El Portus is just 15 minutes drive away.
Here, at Tara Casa, holidays can be tailored to suit your needs and budget. You can mix and match the activities or simply enjoy doing very little. The schedule can be finalised when you arrive and we pride ourselves on being very flexible. We only have 4 guest bedrooms at Tara Casa so booking your holidays as early as possible is advisable.
After all holidays are special.
