“Natalie’s retreat in the Costa Brava was a real feast for the senses! The region was so stunningly beautiful and our experiences so varied that it almost felt as though I’d visited a couple of different countries. The Farmhouse was incredible….the perfect blend of old-world authenticity and contemporary design. A short trip to the coast seemed like a world away. Mountains met the bay at Cadaqués…such a picturesque, white-washed fishing village with magnificent views. No wonder Dali chose to live here! We took our own picnic and ate it overlooking the turquoise water. Starting each day with yoga was a very grounding experience…I think it really helped to get you in a great state of mind (and I don’t practice yoga at home, so it was great for newcomers!)” Claire B.
“Such a serene location. I was lucky to enjoy blissful moments watching honeybees visit lavender in the beautiful garden, finding toadstools growing in the surrounding woodland, listening to owls hooting outside my bedroom window, watching sunlight dance on the swimming pool and looking at the neighboring misty farmlands through the kitchen half-door as I drank my morning coffee.” Sandra R.
“Fun and camaraderie were on the menu for the group cooking class one evening, at the farmhouse, with a local chef! I loved that everyone had to pitch in. And, the medieval villages we visited were absolutely beautiful. So well-cared for that they are full of vitality and charm still, centuries on. Bougainvillea arching around ancient stone doorways, quaint cobbled streets and friendly, inviting shops. The vineyard and winery tour might be one of my most favorite that I’ve experienced. Seeing gold and crimson leaves on the vines for acres was breathtaking. Such a beautiful time of year to see it. Having the place to ourselves made it even more exclusive. The cellars were an architectural marvel. They are almost monastic and spiritual inside and our wine and olive oil tasting outside amongst the Cork oaks was wonderful.” Claire W.
“The Dali museum was an amazing experience. So unique! Like the man himself. I’d call this bucket-list material. I could have spent the whole day just in the jewelry exhibit! Am I the only person who didn’t know that Dali designed jewelry?!” Louise W.
“It was such friendly group to be with and Natalie made everyone feel so welcome as did all the Spanish people who were part of our experiences. I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone that wants to relax in nature, feel more in tune with their own body and feelings yet still wants to be inspired by new locations each day and have the wonderful pleasure of delicious local food and wine with lovely people!.” Barb M.
