What our guests are saying about their stay

Pure magic! From the moment we arrived at the most breathtaking villa nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, Meagan made sure every detail felt like it had been curated straight out of an Italian dream.

I attended the February Caribbean reading retreat and wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! This was the best vacation I could have imagined. Not only was the resort amazing, the conversation and the ladies could not have been better.

I had such a lovely time on my retreat to Sicily. Megan is an amazing host who really looked after all of the group and made the trip feel like a fab holiday with friends. I went alone and everyone was lovely - I will happily book again next year. Book! You won't regret it.

FAQ

Is there a payment plan?

Yes. You can pay in instalments via Klarna or ClearPay

Is there an opportunity to meet the fellow guests before the Reading Retreat?

You are added to a WhatsApp group with the rest of the guests at least a month before the retreat to get to know each other.

What is the age range of guests?

Generally ages range from 20s-40s, but we've had guests from 18-75 so it really is open to everyone!

Is the Reading Retreat based around a specific book?

We have a 'book of the retreat' that everyone is encouraged to read that we discuss on the last evening of the retreat, but if it's not for you then you don't have to.

What is the food like?

The food is specific to the country. We try to offer dishes that you know and love, and brand new ones you may not have heard of.

Are dietary restrictions catered for?

Yes! All dietary restrictions are catered for.

Do you host Reading Retreats for private groups? Like hen do or birthdays.

Absolutely! Drop me an email and we can discuss your event.

Am I responsible for my own flights?

The cost of the retreat does not cover flights, so you are responsible for booking your own. As a qualified independent travel agent, I am more than happy to support you with this booking, and can take that additional stress off your hands. Please just drop me a message if you need help.

What's the difference between solo and shared occupancy?

A solo occupancy room accommodates one person and a shared booking accommodates two. When booking a shared room, you are required to bring the second guest with you.

Are there any ice breakers?

On the first evening we take part in a blind book swap. It's a fantastic ice breaker and really opens up conversation, plus you get a new book!

How are the Reading Retreats structured in terms of free time & activities?

The days are your own to do as you wish, and the evenings we come together over food and activities. We have one planned excursion that takes you outside of the villa per trip but that is entirely optional.
