It was between Daniel and a ruin that had stood for over a thousand years at the gates of Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park.
After an existential crisis, he decided to leave the city and follow a dream: to create a place where he could combine the practices that had given him back his zest for life.
In 2008, Daniel began the restoration of this ruin, living together with friends and volunteers in the old barn of the house. He worked through the long summer days, and in winter he nourished his personal practice in ashrams (monasteries) in India.
Since 2012 we have shared retreats with more than 2,500 people in this remote, almost abandoned village: Vió.
This is how the Casa Cuadrau project was born: an ecological retreat house for Yoga, Art and Nature.
Casa Cuadrau was the original name of this home for centuries, and we didn’t dare change that part of its history.
It is a house restored using ecological, local materials.
Our most sacred space — open, light-filled, and with the best views — is dedicated to meditative practices: yoga, meditation, qigong, tea ceremonies or dance.

Resto of the year
The tiny village of Vió is located in the heart of the Pyrenees.
This left it suspended in time for many years.
Its inhabitants were self-sufficient for centuries. With the rural exodus of the 1960s, it became almost uninhabited.
It has an extraordinary microclimate and is surrounded by incredible mountains, including views of Monte Perdido from the yoga hall.
We are 3.5 hours from Barcelona, 2.5 hours from Zaragoza, and 40 minutes from Aínsa (Huesca).
*We can provide you with contacts for taxi, bus and minibus companies for your group.
We offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets.
Maximum capacity of 28-32 participants*, including facilitators and assistants.
*Additional double/single rooms are available very close to the house. Capacity: 3-4 people. Capacity: 3 – 4 people.
We believe in the power of food as medicine, and it is an essential part of our retreats. The menus are designed and prepared with great care and attention to nourish on all levels.
Note: This house is free of intoxicating or stimulating substances (including tobacco or alcohol).
This is not a suitable space for plant medicine ceremonies, mushrooms or similar practices, as there is no immediate medical assistance available if needed, and our insurance does not cover this type of situation.
