About Cortijo San Jose

Set on a hilltop, the 200-year-old Cortijo offers magnificent views of the rolling countryside, olive groves and a laguna which is home to flamingos.

Cortijo San Jose is full of warmth, character and charm, offering beautiful accommodation, a saltwater pool, sun terrace, gardens, a courtyard and plenty of hidden corners for relaxation. The Cortijo is completely off-grid with all power generated by the sun.

Located in the heart of Andalusia, the cultural delights of Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Ronda, or walking the Caminito del Rey, are just a day trip away.

Retreat programme

There will be two yoga classes each day with Tania in the light and airy converted barn space or on a shaded terrace overlooking the hills and olive groves.

Each day will begin with a morning class of meditation, pranayama and an energising morning flow to gently open the body and attune the mind to the breath. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.

The afternoon class will be a more gentle and restorative class, to delve deeper into the postures.

Between yoga classes there will be the chance to explore the beautiful natural surroundings or simply rest and relax. During the week there will be two yoga free half days.

Things to do

There will be plenty of time to rest and relax, soak up the sun by the pool, read your book in a hammock or take a massage with a specialised therapist.

Or you can head off for a walk to explore the stunning countryside or take a trip to visit one of the many beautiful and culturally rich towns and cities of Andalusia. Cordoba, Seville, Granada and Ronda are just a day trip away.

If booked in advance, it is also possible to walk the Caminito del Rey, a spectacular path running through cliffs, ravines and gorges.

Accommodation & food

Cortijo San Jose offers comfortable and spacious bedrooms beautifully decorated in Andalusian Moorish style.

There are single, double, twin and triple room options in the Cortijo and two garden houses, many overlooking the surrounding hills and laguna, or with private terraces. Most rooms have en suite bathrooms and some rooms have a bathroom shared with just one other room.

Throughout the day you will be offered three delicious meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mainly vegetarian, sometimes seafood is offered, all prepared with the freshest seasonal, locally-sourced produce.

Client Reviews

I recently took the plunge to embark on my first yoga retreat. I am by no means an accomplished yogi, quite the opposite. I could not have been happier with Yoas, the location & yoga teacher I picked for my first adventure at Cortjo San Jose in Andalusia. From start to finish YOAS - Wendy was absolutely brilliant, fielding my questions, needs & most of all making me feel incredibly welcome on the retreat. It's clear to see how passionate Wendy is about the service YOAS provides guests. The location & facilities were simply stunning, I'd give 10* if I could. The instructor Tania Brown was also 10*, understanding my limitations and to speak freely, not making me feel shit about those limitations, but encouraging me in an environment she made feel very safe to support my progression with my yoga practice. These are very special, kind people who truly care. It was an incredible experience for me with a group of very special people, we laughed a lot. I've now made a commitment to myself to treat myself to 1 retreat each year! I can't wait to join YOAS - Wendy & Tania Brown on future retreats. Thank you gorgeous humans!

My daughter and I had the most wonderful and restorative week at Cortijo San Jose. We loved the stunning design of the cortijo, with its 360degree views of the beautiful surroundings, gorgeous interiors and tranquil pool to laze around. Our hosts, Celi and Kels made us feel completely at home, arranged lovely trips and flamenco dancing and fed us divine food everyday. Last but not least, Tania was the most excellent teacher - teaching us creative and fluid vinyasa yoga with warmth and humour in the mornings and beautiful restorative yin in the afternoons. A truly magical week !
Sasha
Thank you for a fun and refreshing week-long retreat in the beautiful Andalusian hills. It was a privilege to dedicate time getting back to a deeper yoga practice guided by our wonderful teacher, Tania. At the end of the week I came away feeling stronger and much more grounded. It was also an opportunity to spend time with one of my dear friends as well as a lovely community of other women. We had a brilliant time together!
