Testimonial – Retreat: October 2023 in Yunquera

 

This was an amazingly beautiful retreat experience. It was empowering and transformational, with Tania skilfully getting to the core of our issues with the supportive presence of Stefan. The sharing with fellow participants was an integral part of the week.

The deep, personal work was balanced by visits to the charming village of Yunquera and local beauty spots with plenty of time for relaxation in the afternoons.

I would highly recommend it. Thank you, Tania, thank you Stefan.

The recent EFT retreat in

Spain was the right time in the right place for me as i was feeling stuck in different areas of my life while i was very anxious and stressed out. 

The intensive EFT sessions we had during the retreat were just fascinating . It opened my eyes to my hidden potentials and helped my confidence to sprout in order to reach my full potential. 

The beautiful place, relaxing atmosphere and beautiful people were the absolute bonus. 

 

It was definitely the best treat i could offer to myself .

 

Kind Regards

Melissa Retreat: October 2023 in Yunquera

I have never bonded so well with a group of strangers everyone opened up and shared their experiences with truthful and caring stories. The group energy in the workshops touches all of us an incredible emotional buffet we fed each other with emotional understanding and moral support in the five days that went far too fast.

Tania Stefan and Jennifer our hosts were so supportive I felt like I was with family.

The experience in Yunquera was so special this rural location still in a time warp

was the ideal place to let myself let go of a lot of my emotional issues and feel positive about my future.

Hi Stefan and Bridget

Firstly, thank you Stefan for the lift to Alora - that train service is fantastic.  Absolutely on time, spotless train, cheap as chips and right to the terminal!  I hope you all had a lovely break  after our departure.  You must have been shattered!

I really can't thank you enough for all your wonderful hospitality and organisation during our very special Yunquera week.  You definitely went above and beyond to give us a really memorable holiday.  Really, it was perfect - the balance between classes, outings and chill time was exactly right (for me any way!) - the accommodation worked out really well - the classes left me feeling much more fluid and energised - and the wonderful meals ... 

 

You did so many extra things like running us up the mountain, to the waterfall, various drinks and those lunches out.  Megan and Tracy were also wonderful and I really enjoyed all the time we spent together.

I'm so thankful that you didn't cancel all of us in the circumstances, although it would have been thoroughly understandable to have done that.  

Really, all the best with your treatment Bridget - you are one amazing lady.

Please don't forget to let me know if any of you are ever in Bristol - I would love to return even a teeny bit of that hospitality you gave us in buckets.

Sending much love and heaps of thanks again,

I really cannot remember feeling so well, so energised and incredibly; y virtual pain free after years of discomfort!!  Victoria you have worked miracles,  Mahari the food was fabulous Stefan you worked so hard to help us in every way and with boundless generosity. Bridget thank you for the wonderful breakfasts and the warmth of your welcome. I wish you all the very best with your treatment, and hope to see you all again soon. I really hope to come back to another pilates/somatics retreat next year and every year for the rest of my life.

Fantastic villa

Jul 2022

​

 

We had a fantastic holiday. The villa is great and has everything you need. We were particularly thankful for the air conditioning but it is the outside space that we enjoyed the most. The pool was a real hit and we spent plenty of time sitting out and admiring the view. Yunquera itself is a traditional Spanish village with a small supermarket and a number of other shops. We did struggle to eat out there as many places seem to be shut in the week. Not a problem if you want to venture further afield.

 

 

Fabulous villa in a fantastic location

The villa was fantastic, such a great location! It was clean and well-maintained, the pool in particular was excellent. The stairs were a bit low for tall people but nothing that couldn't be managed. It was very slightly disappointing that the hammock and bean bags featured in the online photos were not there, but this is a minor grumble! We all had a fabulous time - the villa was great, Yunquera was the real deal and the shops, bard and restaurants were all we needed, so much so that we only left the town once!

Highly recommended, we had a fabulous time. And those views...

Beautiful villa, very well kept, has everything you need, but most importantly beautiful views and infinity pool to enjoy the views after a hot day of travelling Andalusia. The host Andy was extremely helpful and nice. Parking was a little tricky but we got a hang of it after a couple of times. Will highly recommend if you want to feel Spain! Thank you , Andy and Stefan! If you are in the states, please come visit me in Ridge Maryland :)

The property is an old converted building on the side of a very traditional and local village (no tourism so true Andalucían life). It is rural but stunning in terms of views. The outside space of the house is amazing. Massive and really lovely. The pool is by far the best we have ever had in a property. The views. Well…worth the trip alone. The house is really nice and perfectly adequate for a few weeks. It has everything you need. The only area to be aware of is parking which is pretty difficult due to the nature of the roads to get to it but once you have done it once it’s fine. The village is lovely. Small and relaxed but lovely. Andy is checked us in and looked after us is a gent. Really nice and will help with anything you need. Overall it was a great stay. Ronda is well worth a trip and the roads are stunning (twisty but stunning). It’s a bike riders paradise. Highly recommended

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at the villa. Views were stunning, villa well-equipped and infinity pool to die both in terms of the view from it and for it being such a bonus when the heat got too much. Would highly recommend it but not for anyone struggling with stairs as on several levels as explained in the property description. A real find if you want to escape the rat race and go to a part of Spain which is not touristy at all.
