Studio Gaia is a small, independant apartment which is part of a beautiful ecological house. The Studio is self-built and designed to fit in with the rest of the house. It is replete with loving details: wooden ceilings, terracotta tiles, stone walls, natural render, a small covered patio with a sea view and large patio area in full sun... the studio is flooded with soft amber light on long summer afternoons.
The Studio and house are about 5 km from Vejer de la Frontera, and a little further from the sea. Reached on a graded road, there is no problem for most vehicles, we don't recommend it to drivers of Porsche cars! The Studio is independant of mains: electricity is supplied by solar panels, and water is from a well. Outside there are 6000 square metres of grounds, some planted as vegetable and flower gardens, some with fruit trees, and a large part is being reforested with carob, wild olive, acacia etc. The Studio shares an entrance patio with Casa Gaia, but has a private vered patio with sea views. Patio furniture and portable barbecue are provided.
The Studio consists of a large room with an open plan kitchen and living room area (terracotta tiles, wooden ceiling, natural clay render, double sofa bed, shelving for storage of clothes, dining table and 4 chairs, built in kitchen with small fridge, gas hob, sink, french windows onto covered patio with sea views.) Off this room is the bathroom (toilet, shower, wash basin), and up some steep wooden steps there is a platform with a double bed.
We supply sheets and towels (but not beach towels) for our guests. There are not usually many mosquitoes in our area, but we provide mosquito nets for every bed for a comfortable night's sleep.
Studio Gaia has full electrical installation throughout, but plugs are of the standard European 2-pin variety, so please bring adapters if you want to use your laptop or charge your mobile phone. The supply is 240 volts, but is not suitable for appliances like hairdryers and electric kettles that use a lot of electricity.We supply a small cd and cassette player.
We will be on hand to deal with any questions or problems that may arise during your stay, and to water the gardens once a day in the evening.
