Reviews
Perfect for Hatha Yoga/Meditation start or intensification, Amazing food! I spend 5 days at Casa Bhakti and I am very happy I found this lovely place. Could really deepen my yoga and meditation practice, I think I found a new level of mindfulness. Still, they do not go for spiritual chichi. I can recommend it to anyone who is interested in a healthy mind/body relationship.For the accommodation and food: Imagine friends of yours moved to the countryside and try to convince you to become vegetarian/vegan, so cook their very best meals three times per day :-) so incredibly good and they put so much effort in it! It does not feel like a Hotel/Hostel, rather family, so I also advice this place for single travelers. The mental work you do there during your stay is demanding, so consider a single room to have some more space.
The best place if you need a quiet, peaceful, stress free environment, away from the craziness of our cities and daily lives, to practice yoga and meditation, or just to relax and think. The place in general and rooms are definitely clean, beautiful and comfortable. The owners did a great job. Full of small beautiful decorative details too. A place to enjoy calm, peace, the beautiful landscapes and sceneries (mountains (Sierra Nevada), olive trees fields), reading a good book, relaxing, sunrises and sunsets, and the beauty of Mother Nature.
The food (vegetarian)... delicious! Tasty, healthy, well presented. Just yummy. Really yummy! So yes I definitely recommend this place. The owners (Francesca and Loïc) are very friendly and always available to make sure you are well and to share.

Loic Bouteruche
Core Subject: Hatha Yoga and Meditation teacher
Loic has always liked making sure that people around him were happy and healthy. He has been teaching yoga and meditation for many years, while having deep knowledge of Western nutrition, Ayurvedic cooking, and Tibetan medicine. Cooking, singing, playing music, having happy people around, and being present in the moment are few of the things that Loic tries to pass on forward to people interested in the same areas as him, or who simply share the same vision and joys in life.
