The Retreat
I have been living in the Algarve for eight years. My partner is Portuguese. Our kids are growing up here. Somewhere along the way I stopped being someone who visited and started being someone who belongs.
These retreats are built on that. Reformer Pilates every morning. The rest of the time? The Algarve that I actually live in.
The StoryThe Pilates
Every session is tailored to your group. Complete beginners and experienced practitioners are both welcome. The setting changes with every retreat but the quality of the Pilates never does.

I know the best chef in this valley. I know the restaurant in the village that does not have a website. Eight years of living here means I know who to call. Why would I not share that?
