It’s easier to talk about making a major life change than it is to actually do something about it.
We’ve all done it at one time or another, usually over a glass of something after a particularly challenging day, week or month, painting a vision of another you somewhere far away where life is enriching and challenging and so, so different from today.
So much blah, blah, blah.
But every now and then people turn the dream into a reality. They get up off the sofa, put on their pioneering hat and head off to change their lives into something bigger. We are one such couple who, after too long working in the world of business decided it was time to do something for us. Create something special and unique that is the product of our ambitions and hard work, and change the tempo of our lives for the better.
And so began a 12 month odyssey of searching for the right idea in the right place at the right budget. Hour after hour of trawling the internet for properties, learning about regions and locations, unpicking the plethora of red tape, and planning our escape.
Finally, in November 2020, our dream took the first tangible step towards reality, as we became the owners of our new Spanish home, perched on the side of a hill overlooking the Castellon countryside. Clear in our minds about what we wanted to create here, we set about planning and developing this boutique, stylish and luxurious accommodation in the real
Spain.
Our vision? To share this place with guests from all over the world and give them access to an authentic slice of Spanish life, far from the trappings of the holiday resorts, where they can unwind and rejuvenate, and taste a little of the life we have chosen for ourselves.
So welcome to Casa de Olivos. We look forward to welcoming you here soon.
Claire and Ed
