When thinking about growing older, privately owned Casa Klein in Spain could be an interesting alternative. It’s unique in its offer of combining hotel or home and medical care.

Scandinavia is the clear theme at Casa Klein. The guests have various professional backgrounds, but they are all Scandinavians. So are half the staff and the rest speak English. “And we have a Danish chef who cooks fantastic food,” says the Danish owner Joan Klein Rosén.

Holiday option

Casa Klein is run like a hotel with all its comforts. Five of its 17 rooms are available for short term stays. “One couple that came to stay said that they had almost given up on going on holiday now that they were getting older. But that changed when they found Casa Klein. Here they have all the comfort – with the reassuring knowledge that there is always medically trained staff around if you need it,” Rosén says; because of this many doctors recommend Casa Klein as a place for convalescence, she explains.

A new home

12 people have decided to make Casa Klein their permanent home. Many of them came to stay for a short time and never left. “People have said that one of the best things is that you have your privacy, but you never have to be alone,” Rosén says. And there is always something to do. Entertainment and excursions are regularly organised. “Because of the climate, people spend most of their time outdoors,” Rosén says and concludes: “Casa Klein is an oasis.”
