Our definitive place in El Palmar
Mer's was an absolute crush.
The day this woman from Cordoba saw for the first time a half-ruined house just 30 meters from the beach —Ojo: and not just any beach, but Playa del Palmar—, he knew that this would be her place. And she was clear about it because she had been looking for him for a long, long time. How could his intuition fail him at this point?
So she got to work. She started a business adventure that she had been brewing for a long time in her head, when her life was still driven by stress and the rhythms marked by an agenda and a telephone that she never let go of.
The objective is clear: to serve as a home for those who choose to live it
For 10 years she walked and retraced the world: lived in new york where she worked as a content creator for a famous Spanish company. She traveled to Indonesia. She also to Mexico. And it was precisely there, in Tulum, and during a few days of disconnection, where something clicked in her head. She then she knew: she wanted to put that chaos of the universe aside and create her own space. Her own space.
Although she had to spend some more time for that dream to materialize, that was how, broadly speaking, she was born. The Stone House 7.
An oasis within that other oasis that is already El Palmar, on the beloved Cadiz coast, where time passes at its own pace from the moment you walk through its doors. A project that, after years of work and effort —and endless renovation works—, ended up seeing the light last September, and in which all these beautiful things that we come to tell you happen.
Casa de Piedra 7 is an accommodation, of course. Of those that inspire and envelop
A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE
Since we have to start somewhere, we start by revealing to you that Stone House 7 is accommodation, of course. One of those that inspire and envelop. A cozy space, which is revealed in a warm decoration, with earthy tones, in which the small details reveal its own personality. Winks to Mexico here, hugs to India there... And the clear objective of serving as a home for those who choose to live it, whether for a few days, weeks or months.
The union of the two houses, because in reality they are two separate buildings with a total of 12 places between the two – on the one hand, a house with two bedrooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms; and on the other, an apartment-, converges in the central patio in which nature plays its strong role.
At this point is where plants and flowers explode and life goes free, either on the terrace table, where breakfast, lunch and dinner taste much better, or with chats between guests - who quickly become friends - Until fatigue says enough. Siesta afternoons in the shade; reading mornings in the sun...
On the garden, the surfboards also find their place: with the sea churning just a jump away, this is the accommodation that anyone who longs to dance on the waves of the Atlantic dreams of.

But there is also room in La Casa de Piedra 7 for the kitchen, more would be missing. That is why there are days when the most delicious aromas conquer each of its spaces. And they do it with rich breakfasts, but also with lunches inspired by a type of Ayurvedic diet. Because yes: the take care of yourself inside It is a maxim that is followed to the letter in this corner of Cadiz. In fact, the idea of offer a vegan menu three days a week, transforming itself into a kind of removable restaurant, it becomes stronger and stronger: it will be one of the next services provided to the house.
They are also, by the way, the exquisite brunches that help to regain strength after the intense open-air yoga sessions. Because yes, this is another of the topics we wanted to talk to you about.
TIME TO RECONNECT
And it is that Mer always wanted this coquettish little house lined —literally— with stones to be much more than an accommodation. Also, and above all, It was a meeting place between mind and body. Thus, when he conceived the project, he wanted to endow it with the essence of a holistic center that would call for rest, both physical and mental. A place, in short, in which the practice of yoga will occupy an important space.
