Wonderful place in the midst of green hills, small rivers and waterfalls, abundantly green

D’Alijo Retreat Center is a wonderful place in the midst of green hills, small rivers and waterfalls, abundantly green!
We organized a yoga retreat here and we could not have been more lucky! All was so well arranged: the accommodations modern, spacious and well decorated, and let me not even get started about the food… Each day a different variation of dishes, varying from Indian and Vietnamese to Italian, Greek and Portuguese nights. A pleasure for the eye and the tongue :). Mike being super passionate about his green garden, growing lots of foods and herbs that are used in the kitchen himself, just radiates passion for food and that you taste. As a yoga teacher the spot was amazing: the top hill yoga studio was the best spot for early meditation in the first sun beams of the day and to integrate all of the elements into the Ayurveda yoga classes I gave. This enabled all participants to really reconnect to nature and foster healing and peace ad tranquility from within.
Thank you Nico, Mike and the whole team of cooks, cleaning ladies and gardeners for your warm welcoming and wonderful guidance!
