It was all excellent - this is a holistic experience, the excellent food every day, the beautiful, peaceful location set in a V shaped valley with spectacular views,
river to swim in, walks to be had, the retreat venue itself, the staff working there, the tipis, and last but not least, the excellent yoga and pilates tuition and
massage treatments. (more)Liz Hughes
I had no expectations other than to go with the flow and listen. Andrew and Vonettq have fulfilled and are fulfilling their dream in such a manner as to share wholeheartedly with those who drop in. I arrived full of flu, wrapped up to the nines. Some called me the eskimo, with two little eyes appearing through all the head layers.

The highlight was wild swimming in some beautiful locations along the river and an amazing Thai massage given by Mars. (more)Georgina Loughrey

We got up in the morning had a great breakfast and onto our bikes-all we had to do was appreciate the beautiful scenery and decide where to stop for coffee. Lunch was a picnic along the way and with nothing else to think about, it made for a very relaxing holiday. (more)Anne Taylor

Memorable parts?
Going down to the river and behaving like a hippopotamus.....by this I mean wallowing in the mud. It was not only fun but made the skin feel good too.
Tips?
Don't worry about what stage you are at in your yoga practice. The teachers are highly skilled and can guide you regardless of your level. I was a beginner and therefore enjoyed the afternoon sessions that focused more on pair yoga.
Also buy some of their honey if you can......it is simply divine.
Local benefits?
Yes,... (more)Janice Thomas

A great break from a mad city life. A great combination of people and therapies to recharge...great space for yoga, great teaching. Wonderful massage and acupuncture - totally restorative. (more)Joanna Benn
Excellent...perfect in so many ways. . There is an energy that runs through the place and you feel connected every waking moment; as you find a quiet moment by one of the water pools, or take a walk with one of the dogs, attending a yoga class, enjoying a good nights sleep. Its a healing place like no other. (more)sophia Hannay

Memorable parts?
My most memorable part of he holiday in Portugal was cycling along the high cliffs of Alentejo by the sea with 60 km winds at my back, even though one needed to be mindful with the wind on cycling so close to the edge of the cliff on a sandy track! The 10 percent grade for seemingly endless kms from Alejur to Monchique was a challenge that I felt really good about having accomplished in my 80th year. It made me feel blessed for the health and strength that I have.

Memorable parts?
Discovering the Vicentina coast and its marvellous beaches and blue sea for the first time. Marvellous landscape, kindness and
smiles of the people met all along the trip. Spotless accommodation, very charming small hotels.
Tips?
Local benefits?
Yes, it did because we were always staying at small hotels run by Portuguese - in most of the places, they could hardly speak in
English or French.
Overall rating?
Perfect, even better than expected (more)Muriel Deladriθre

Memorable parts?
Walking beside the sea
Tips?
Learn some Portuguese - people appreciate it, especially in the countryside. Walking poles helpful by the coast - sand dunes on top of limestone or sandstone cliffs make for slightly harder going.
Local benefits?
Benefits to local people. I think hotels could do more with recycling and waste (apart from Cato B and B in Carrapateira. Plastic bottles, butter and jam portions, soaps and shampoos provided could be done differently.... (more)Dh Dharmavasita

Memorable parts?
Dramatic cliff top scenery with rare aromatic plants growing in the sandy soil round the paths. Watching surfers in the beautiful bays and fishermen perched precariously on the cliffs. Unspoiled countryside and forests inland. The fantastic non-light polluted night sky at one of the places we stayed; we saw the milky way and a shooting star. The warmth of the local people. Other walkers we met en route from many different countries. Very good locally produced food.

Swimming off the Atlantic coast of Portugal after being towed on a rubber ring by the yacht
Tips?
Check the cabin accommodation and what it entails.
Local benefits?
Yes, we visited many small villages both in Spain and Portugal and helped with their economy. We recycled most of our rubbish and deposited some in the appropriate bins on shore.
Overall rating?
I had a great time. It would have been easier if I spoke more Spanish, but my vocabulary... (more)Jill Brasch
