"Relaxing & cozy but less effective Ayurvedic retreat "
- Friendly and helpful staff
- nice garden
- very attentive and qualified cook
- high cleanliness
- good value for money
- quiet location (albeit not remote)
- relaxing yoga tailored to group’s needs
- small but nice room
- cozy atmosphere

"Yoga and Ayurveda stay"
Everyone was very friendly, smily, like a family, caring and accommodating our needs. Yoga teacher was a local young man who came every morning on a motorbike in jeans and T-shirt and then changed into a serious Yoga guru, had a great knowledge and experience, I really loved the lessons with him which gave me a different experience than in Europe.
