in:spa is delighted to introduce Trasierra. It’s a privately owned hotel set high in the Sierra Morena Mountains, an hour north of Seville in the heart of rural Andalusia. This beautiful historic 16th Century house stands in its own aromatic garden surrounded by three thousand acres of olive and orange groves - one of the last, vast unspoilt landscapes in Europe. It is a truly unique and magnificent setting.

Trasierra is a family run finca, designed for people who appreciate beauty, comfort and peace. The large swimming pool is surrounded by a delightful courtyard, with panoramic views of the stunning countryside beyond. Truly a wonderful place to unwind and relax after an invigorating hike! Whilst for the more energetic, the tennis court is a five minute stroll away through the chestnut woods.

There are just 14 bedrooms at Trasierra, all comfortable and well appointed and all with ensuite bathrooms. The in:spa team of specialist masseurs, chefs, nutritionists, yoga instructors and personal trainers will be hosting several weeks here during the summer. The in:spa team will ensure maximum benefits for all our guests, such as weight-loss, improved fitness, stress relief and a heightened sense of wellbeing. Every day at in:spa is inspiring and unique, but to get an idea of how a day may be structured, read on.

This day starts with yoga as the sun rises behind the mountains . By breakfast time you will be feeling supple and energised and ready for fresh fruit, home made muesli, thick smoothies and freshly squeezed juices. An excellent kick-start for your health and fitness plans. We then head out for a morning of hiking in the Sierra Morena Mountains, experiencing the exhilaration of the climb and the stunning scenery. Some mornings we explore the countryside on bicycles. These activities will invigorate your body and stimulate your metabolism and are tailored to all levels of fitness so everyone can join in at their own pace. For example, the hikes tend to form into three groups: the fit, the moderately fit, and those who prefer a less strenuous walk. But they are always great fun!

After a light, fresh, detoxifying lunch, the afternoons are varied and, depending on the day and your personal in:spa programme may include small group yoga instruction, personal fitness training or nutritional consultations. In addition, a regular massage will help to relax, restore and prepare you for the week's activities. There will also be plenty of time to soak up the sun by the swimming pool.

The day winds down with dinner on the courtyard terrace, overlooking the mountains. Dinners are a showcase of delicious, fresh, healthy cuisine which our chef is always pleased to discuss and explain with those guests who are interested in creating cleansing cuisine for when they return home. Dress is relaxed and informal.

High points of the week include stunning hikes in the mountains direct from Trasierra and the inspiring in:spa team. You can always organise your flights to include some time in Seville, one of Spain's most beautiful and interesting cities. For more about the sights and sounds of Seville, please click here.

The in:spa team looks forward to welcoming you and ensuring you have a blissful, unforgettable week.
