Past Reviews (optional)

Petra was the perfect host Petra was the perfect host. Our accommodation was fab: comfortable and in beautiful, quiet surroundings. The timetable of events was varied and of a very good standard. My partner and teenage daughter's came with me and were made to feel so welcome. They also appreciated the balance of fruit and vegetables along with wholesome homemade food and the opportunity to eat bread, meat and biscuits if you fancied it. Petra was very generous: she took us out for lunch in addition to a trip to a Japanese garden. In the evenings, if you wanted company you could join her in the lounge for games. We had so much fun as well as a chance to practice Yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, Qigong and a 30 minute massage was also part of the package. Well worth the money. Petra has a genuine heart of gold and is very good at ensuring you are looked after. Thank you, Petra This retreat was perfect in every way This retreat was perfect in every way. Beautiful setting, wonderful yoga from Neli, fabulous massage from Liz, and fabulous food and organisation courtesy of Petra (and her mum). We had a brilliant Qi Gong session and sound bath, and fun trip to the Japanese Garden. There was so much variety and such a good vibe, with plenty of time to relax and chill too. The people were lovely and I felt fully refreshed, relaxed and energised afterwards. Highly recommend! I can’t recommend this retreat enough I can’t recommend this retreat enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported and genuinely cared for. The balance of yoga, movement, nourishing food, rest and connection was exactly what I needed, and I left feeling calmer, healthier and much more like myself. A special thank you to Pietra. Her energy is something really special – warm, calming and uplifting all at once. She has such a loving, caring nature, and her humour had us all laughing when we needed it most. She created such a safe and beautiful space for everyone. 😉❤️ If you’re thinking about booking, do it. Whether you need to reset, recharge or simply take some time for yourself, this retreat is a gift.
