Our Residency

A place for creative minds, where time softens and the boundaries between art and nature dissolve. The forest becomes your studio, the breeze your collaborator, and the sun your gentle muse. Here, creation is not a task, but a way of listening—of letting yourself be shaped as much as you shape. A quiet invitation to slow down, tune in, and let the world around you become part of what you make.

La Masia

Tucked away in the forests of Girona, this traditional Catalan countryside home from 1806 breathes with the rhythm of nature. Here, time slows down. We cook with organic ingredients from our own garden, nurtured with care and devotion. The historic soul of the masia lives on, lovingly preserved in every stone and beam, offering a sanctuary where the past and present meet in harmony—a place to reconnect, create, and simply be.

Art Residency

A space for artistic exploration and personal inspiration, where time expands and creativity unfolds naturally. Our residencies offer dedicated accommodation to deepen your individual artistic practice. Immersed in nature and surrendered to the essence of the forest, you step away from the noise of the city to reconnect with your inner voice and awaken your innate creative flow.

Gastronomy

At Can Silvestre, meals follow a farm-to-table philosophy. We grow our own organic vegetables and source additional fresh ingredients from trusted local farmers. Every dish is prepared with care to nourish both body and mind, reflecting the rhythms of the seasons and the spirit of the land.
