The Table

A low pavilion of four shallow concrete vaults, glowing through bronze-framed glass at dusk, beside a long dark pool, with a level stone wall behind it.
The Refectori at afterglow.

Four vaults, one old span.

The Refectori’s vaults repeat the Sestador’s 5.4 m, in concrete. It’s the one new building that curves, and it’s glazed on three sides.

A long dining room under four shallow concrete vaults with pale ash tables, low candles, a sea-green tiled bar and dusk through glass walls.
Long ash tables, low lamps. No chandeliers.

A sample day’s menu

  • Long lunchCold almond soup. Fish from the morning, on the bone. Bitter greens
  • Late afternoonPale wine, olives, nothing else
  • After sunset, in the courtyardOne long table. Lamb from the plateau, slowly. Almond cake

A sample, not a real menu. Nothing here is served.

Dinner moves outside after sunset.

The courtyard holds its warmth for hours. One long table goes under the carob.
