Wonderful, with warm hosts and beautiful surroundings. (more)Clare David

Excellent. As adults we loved the location (so quiet, with such great views) and the hospitality. Our 12 year old son loved (most of) the activities and hanging around with other kids. And Ilaria and Des and their children held it all together beautifully. (more)Patrick Andrews

Being able to walk to a great family beach (Arrieta) with spanish holidaymakers mainly. Our teenagers felt free to go swimming, body boarding & surfing. After a day of swimming or discovering the island it felt good to come back to the Eco Cabin with its pergola and small garden with fruit trees (fig, orange, mango, apple). (more)Sophie Nelson

excellent, great guides and great variety - I was never bored, but had some down time too, which I wanted. (more)Mary Murphy

Memorable parts? This was a lovely holiday and the coastal walks especially glorious. We much appreciated the welcome pack of groceries, the very comfortable and well appointed townhouse, and the flexibility we were given to modify our routes. In the unseasonably hot June weather (30 degrees plus) having our own pool was a great bonus. When the heat curtailed our walks, the local beaches included in several walks were a delight. Tips? Vivian and Alan gave us a warm welcome and provided... (more)Anne Ife

Memorable parts? Too many to mention! Accommodation was great! Paddle boarding was great!! Sea kayaking amazing! Cycling brilliant and sailing relaxing!! Tips? Take the bus if you’re flying into Barcelona. Local benefits? The showers were all heated by solar power. All the people who ran the activities seemed to be local Catalan and although we considered hiring a car to transfer from the airport it was totally unnecessary. Ideally we would have travelled by train rather than... (more)Vicky Taylor

Memorable parts? How quickly we arrived into that timeless moment that we strive for when taking a holiday. Tips? We wanted for nothing. Local benefits? The environmental impact of this particular holiday was as low as possible. Overall rating? For the first time in a long time felt that, although it was more expensive than previous holidays, the stay at Finca de Arrieta was worth every penny. (more)M Hamilton

Memorable parts? The mountain biking was great fun (we had no previous experience) and we loved the white water rafting (we have a 15 year old teenage girl). The staff at the Hotel were very friendly and helpful. The guides were great . It was lovely meeting new like minded people and lovely that all the teenagers could mix too. Tips? Great family holiday, its fun doing different adventures each day (walking , biking , water rafting etc). The hotel is very basic but very clean and... (more)Anna Smith

We particularly enjoyed the cycle route through the medieval villages, which goes past orchards and rice fields too. The whole team were great. (more)Sara Bodey

The last night, when we walked back along the beach from an excellent restaurant in Santa Antoni. There were live bands, dancing and warm, happy people everywhere. The perfect end to one of the best holidays ever. (more)Sarah Slade

Excellent - beautiful accommodation, spotlessly clean and with lovely extra thoughtful touches. The bicycles were perfect - very comfortable and trustworthy. (more)Margaret Steventon

Kayaking and exploring the caverns of the fortress in Lago De Banyoles were our students favorite times. They were both very different experiences for our students. (more)Michael Martinez

Interacting with our hosts, Gareth and Fiona - their charming children and the other guests - and the splendid scenery and hiking in the area. (more)Melanie Faith

5 stars (more)Kevin Davenport

The hiking and surfing was fantastic. I wish I still windsurfed as it looked incredible. Lots of friendly and guest service minded staff at our accommodations and throughout the whole island. (more)Nancy Carey

We expected the finca to be lovely but it far exceeded our expectations. The Garden Cottage was perfect for a couple who wanted privacy but still all the facilities of the shared areas...Excellent! (more)Helen Wilson

A hike across the amazing Timanfaya National Park led by Jose of Blackstone Treks was the most memorable. (more)Sarah Brocklehurst

The best part was staying in the tiny fishing village of Punta Mujeres and interact with the locals simply by having a cortado or getting a beer with the others. This is the best slow travel I have experienced. Highly recommended, if you want to walk, trek, read, write, have great food and surrounded by simple, kind people. An unforgettable holiday where the pace was slow and the locals very kind including the mini market at Punta Mujeres, the hair dresser and folks at Bar Palenka. (more)Priti Patnaik

The cottage was beautiful, the location was perfect. I will definitely be telling everyone about it, although was tempted to keep it as my secret! (more)Laura Whelan

We enjoyed relaxing, reading, swimming and sitting by the pool. Our kids were happy hence so were we! (more)Deborah Sigsgaard

Great. Beautiful place. V. Quiet and peaceful. Visit the Alhambra late afternoon for fewer crowds (more)Nicola Goddard

This is a really beautiful part of Spain as its all hills and valleys...visiting the Alhambra was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)kay scoresby

The most memorable part was watching my daughter see the stars for the first time! Zero light pollution! Also, I was so surprised by how much there was to do on the island. Nice to wake up each day and know it was going to be sunny and dry! (more)Angellique Sunter

We really enjoyed the boat trip to Isle Graciosa – the operator organised it. We went on a RIB speed boat to get there, then went snorkelling, walking through the town and a beautiful lunch. (more)Michelle Christensen

Absolutely lovely. It is probably a huge cliche but seeing the children laughing and playing by themselves and with new friends meant I was more relaxed - it all just ticked over perfectly and resulted in a great holiday. (more)Kate Macnab
