Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our retreat, including travel insurance and fitness level concerns.

Do I book my own flights?

Yes you are responsible for booking your own flight. We recommend you get a morning flight to FARO to make the most of your time in the beautiful Villa. If this is not an option, no bother, we will make sure you are picked up at whatever time you land. We will need your flight details as soon as you have booked your flights so we can organise the transfer to pick you up stress free.

Not, the transfer will always be covered; you will be picked up from the airport and taken straight to the villa. After your wonderful stay with us we will then take you back to the airport and see you off.
