This was one of the best holidays we have had. It was lovely getting to know a group of people, it was valuable to share a holiday with people who had a common interest. Getting up early for yoga in the morning and having a lovely breakfast was wonderful (we didn't think that we could do it!). Casperia is a wonderful and amazing place to relax in. The staff were so helpful and we were allowed the freedom to be with the group or to be alone. It was truly refreshing and a wonderful experience and we do, and will, highly recommend it to others.
We thought that the holiday definitely benefited local people and the fact that the old houses were converted and made to feel VERY homely and welcoming was so much better than staying in a hotel, ethically and practically. We were pleased that we could contribute positively to the town of Casperia as tourists. We loved the local supermarket and the fact that we could walk around safely and not need to rely on public transport to find anything of interest.
A wonderful idea for a holiday. Really well organised. Totally relaxing and refreshing. Absolutely beautiful.
A big thank you to Allan, Lucy, Paolo and Jenny.
