I enjoyed this retreat so much, there was always such a positive vibe and it even felt a bit like family!

Everyone really went out of their way to get you what you wanted (e.g. special-order desert by the phantastic cook, additional transfers into the city-center, or specially providing Coca-Cola because while I know it’s not healthy, I really love it) - and they did it with a genuine smile.

I was a bit hesitant at first to book this, because I thought it was a bit higher-priced than some other retreats I had looked at: But I think, that since so much was already included in the price (transfers, 1-hr-massage, day-spa ticket, etc.) that in the end, I paid less than for the others, where so many things would have led to additional costs.

And now that I’ve been there; even if it had been higher priced than other retreats, it would still have been worth it :-)

The whole week was fantastic. The location felt magical, food delicious, yoga and hiking rejuvinating. The spa day in italy was a real treat and a great addition to the week. I couldnt reccomend this retreat more.

The food from Jonno was absolutely over expected, so very good. Holly was a wonderful instructor, peaceful practis everyday.

So the Chalet, the hole arrangement, all the persons that involvd

make such a wonderful work, you are in heaven here! And of course, Mount Blance, you couldt stay for a more nice place, stunning!

+ The chalet offered pure luxury! A magnificent view into the valley and up towards the mountains. Five star facilities: Comfortable beds. Individually decorated rooms (continent-themed). A pool. A hot tub. A sauna, steam and massage room. A fire place. A large terrace and balcony. A small bar area. A games room. A private little movie theatre. A big dining and seating area. Keywords: comfortable and spacious.

+ The surroundings were simply stunning. The snow-capped mountains and lush green hills. Small meltwater streams here and there (one right next to the chalet). Great hiking paths through the forest.

+ A well thought through week's schedule that offered a great mix of yoga sessions and guided activities (hikes, night out in Chamonix, spa trip to Italy), but also left plenty of room for everybody's own plans, relaxation and excursions.

+ Being able to try out varying yoga styles in energising morning and calmer, more relaxing evening sessions. The choice of Naomi Hayama as a yoga teacher was excellent.

+ The massage session!

+ The food was amazing! Even as a non-vegetarian, I thought the (fully vegetarian) meals were absolutely delicious, very varied and always supplied in copious amounts.

+ The fact that one felt pampered and well looked after. That we didn't have to worry about buying and preparing food, doing the dishes or the washing. That even towels, bathrobes and slippers were supplied. One could simply be, switch off and relax...

The accommodation, the location, the natural beauty, the staff, the food, the hikes, the hiking guide, Anna James and Eleanor and Suz, the excursions, the ambiance that all this together created
