Retreats
Nestled into the Andalucian Foothills, overlooking sweeping valleys and the beautiful national park is a little treasure called Finca El Cerrillo. I first heard about it about 15 years ago in a newspaper review and immediately thought what a wonderful place it would be for a retreat! Being either pregnant and/or up-to my eyeballs in nappies, I settled for a newsletter subscription and a dream that one day I just might get to sit on the Finca's terrace, G&T in hand...

...9 years ago, as another newsletter landed in my inbox, I hit reply and within a few days Finca El Cerrillo's wonderful owners, Sue and Gordon had sent me an invitation to come and stay.
Since that time I have taken several groups to La Finca, from small private groups and in the last few years, occupying all 14 rooms. Each time I go I discover more and more why Finca El Cerillo is the perfect place for you to find a little bit of renewed vigour, health and happiness!
We are returning to the Finca on 14th - 17th July 2023. The trip will be with myself and one of my colleagues below. More details will be revealed later in the year. 7 of our ladies from our 2022 trip enjoyed it so much that they have rebooked already! That means we only have 6 rooms left. If you are interested in taking one of those rooms, please do complete the enquiry form below. We also have the opportunity now to do bespoke Retreat bookings with private groups where we stay at a beautiful villa in the same region as The Finca. If you'd like to find out more about booking private groups please also enquire below.

I loved the combination of Pilates Flow, Facial Pilates with Lynn, hiking in the stunning National Park, loads of sunbathing next to the gorgeous pool, R&R, chat and laughter with an amazing group of women, all topped off by a perfect stay at Finca el Cerrillo - beautiful rooms, lush gardens, delicious food.
