This vacation is perfect for switching off - the idea of the wellness together with the Pilates is to relax your mind and body in a beautiful location. (more)Helen Wood

I loved the whole thing. The Pilates, meditation and Chi Gung tuaght by Ionos made me feel like a new woman after the week in Pelion...the sumptuous home cooking and amiable comraderie around the square table hosted by Pip and Nick...the splendid accommodation with views across the water to mountains. There is no one stand out. It was as a delight all round.
