All of it was memorable, the environment, food, classes, people etc. 10/10 - Superb! (more)Marta Redd
Although clichι, I would say this was one of the best vacations I've been on, hand on heart. Why? All the categories that I can think of which make for an enriching and joyous experience were there: excellent quality of the treatment, yoga lessons; the beautiful location, the friendly and committed ethos of the staff and owners; wonderful and eye-opening food; outstanding company of fellow travelers; the vision of the project and its execution (more)Ben Moss

Excellent...perfect in so many ways. .

Its a healing place like no other. (more)sophia Hannay

Memorable parts?
My most memorable part of he vacation 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.
