Your Say

Given half a chance we would talk about Serenity Retreat and how much we love it until the cows come home.  But we're biased.  So we thought you'd like to hear what our guests have had to say:

• It has been more than three weeks since I arrived home from Greece and I'm still glowing from the experience. Beautiful island, a dream of an apartment, falling asleep to the sound of the sea and all the fab people I met. Lazy days in a perfect surrounding - starting the day in meditation and finishing together laughing and giggling around a table at one of the tavernas. Last but not least to meet Kim - the hostess with the mostess - who is the heart and soul of Serenity Retreat. Thank you Kim - I'll be back. Bev(erley), Delft, The Netherlands - 2011

• Kim puts so much thought and effort into making sure that everyone is catered for by tailoring activities around each different group all variables get covered.  I have recommended Serenity Retreat to anyone that crosses my path who is looking for a solo holiday that doesn't mean being lonely and for activities that either fill your time or allow for you to fill your own time.  How does she do it?

• I'd highly recommend Serenity Retreat, although next time I'll definitely go for 2 weeks, as I didn't feel ready to come home. The area is lovely; beautiful beaches, fantastic restaurants and mountains to walk up just minutes away Kim's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met. She's caring and calm but also a great laugh. She seems to get on with everyone so when she came out with us, always added to the group with a great vibe.Sam Radford, Ascot UK -  2011

• Ahh Serenity Retreat in Nikiana - pure food for the soul. Great company and a hostess with the mostest Kim who runs the show. The most beautiful surroundings with lovely accommodation, sea and views to fall in love with. Not to mention an abundance of great food, friendships and blissful meditation and visualisation and fine walks in the stunning countryside. Flowers, greek gardens, cats, cockerills crowing. Greek Heaven. Don't hesitate - just do it. It's beautiful.  Shirley Filer, Dumfries & Galloway - 2011

• I can only describe my week at Serenity Retreat as life changing. The whole experience has resulted in me feeling an oasis of peace and love that has helped me take back control of my life. I went there feeling lost and alone and have returned feeling energised, calm and radiating positivity.  Clair, Worcetershire - 2011

• The location was perfect, the company was perfect, the vision of loveliness outside my room was perfect. If you need some reflection time, some space and an opportunity for some personal growth away from all the distractions of life...this is it!  Lisa Cherry, Witney, Oxon - 2011

• THANK YOU for one of the most special times of my life. I too booked a week and ended up staying a fortnight. I went with a vague desire for more space in my life and came away with a whole new life plan, thanks to a wonderful facilitator in Ann Simpson, a bunch of amazing women and a big injection of connectedness and integrity. Not to mention the lovely Kim, who is just a force of nature. A huge bonus for me was having the sea right outside my window and swimming every morning at sunrise. Cosmic.  Janet, Isle of Man - 2011

• In a word, AMAZING. Booked a week and stayed for two! The location and local amenities were superb. The holiday is exactly as described, lots to do but no offence taken to declining. For my first holiday alone I could not have asked for a better experience. Kim is an incredible woman who goes above and beyond the duties required and strives to provide the best experience for all guests regardless of what that is! Well worth doing a course - real value for money! I have met some incredible people and have a whole host of memories..highly recommended!!!!  Holly Schofield, Warwickshire - 2011

• Wonderful location and glorious weather. The local tavernas are good. My apartment was excellent, overlooking the sea with some fabulous views. I had a very relaxing and peaceful time which is what I was seeking, and the personal development course I did was very engaging. Serenity Retreat delivered "what it said on the tin", and at a very reasonable price. Kim is a tour de force in her own right.  Paul Barker, Leeds 2010

• Serenity Retreat is a very special place . . . . reviving, rejuvenating and, for me, transforming. Nikiana is a great little village with a local rustic charm. Kim is a warm, funny, brilliant woman who creates an relaxed and easy vibe. Dip into exactly what you want to do, no pressure - morning walks, meditation, massage, get-togethers with the other retreaters and plenty of beach time too. My apartment was right on the beach. The view of the sunrise each morning and being able to walk straight from my terrace across the pebbles to the crystal clear water was amazing.  Jane, Surrey - 2010

• I've been on a few spiritual/personal development retreats, but never one that's had the perfect mix of personal and spiritual development, beautiful scenery, like-minded people and plenty of giggles. The course was brilliant and profressionally run, and the structure of the week provided for just the right amount of teaching time, so we still had plenty of time to soak up the rays in the afternoon. The different choices of accommodation are all of a high standard and they're very close together, so no-one is ever isolated. I'll be back next year.  Tara, London 2010

• The island of Lefkada is really beautiful, not only the beaches but up in the mountains too. I had a massage in the dappled sunlight under the olive tree, with the sound of the sea lapping on the shore just beside me, that says it all really ... plus Kim is a warm and wonderful person who helps everyone to get the most out of their Serenity Retreat experience.  Louise, Buckinghamshire UK 2010

• I had a great time with Serenity Retreat. Just what I needed complete rest in comfortable accomadation.  Surrounded by the natural beauty of a Greek island in early season. Kim is charming and both practical and supportive. Just what I needed for my serene retreatToptastic.  Phiippa, London England - 2010
