"A Beautiful Experience"

10.0

Loved the peace and serenity in beautiful surroundings. Could not have wished for better hosts. Two of the loveliest, most helpful people you could wish to meet. Breakfast was perfectly prepared for us each morning of our stay. Our room was cosy, beds very comfortable. Views from our room amazing. Garden, a tranquil oasis where nature flourishes. The experience refreshed my soul and I would have no hesitation in returning for more. I really didn't want to leave and wished that Thomaz and Dan would adopt me!

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

"I already know I’ll be coming back!"

10.0

Tomaz and Dan are truly wonderful hosts — warm, genuine, and full of heart. Their home is beautifully decorated with unique, artistic touches that instantly make you feel calm and at peace. Every corner reflects their care and creativity — they even name their lovingly restored furniture, like Nightingale and Ludwig, adding a personal charm that’s hard to forget. We also experienced a short crystal bowl sound bath — something completely new to me. It was peaceful, grounding, and deeply memorable. Dan generously shared stories from his fascinating life, making us feel like we were chatting with an old friend. Breakfast was another highlight: homemade yoghurt, fresh-baked bread, and butter served in an adorable shape — all made with love. I might be revealing too much, but this was truly an unforgettable experience — the perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre was a gorgeous place to stay, and Dan and Thomas couldn't have been better hosts - we felt very spoiled. We hope to stay again, and have already recommended it to others!

We were treated royally, literally. Daniel and Tomasz were kind, gentle and respectful to our needs. The Centre is beautifully decorated with attention to detail and surrounded by an extensive garden. We even had access to the meditation room. The breakfast was delicious with elegant dinnerware. We wish we had more time to stay there.

"We would sincerely recommend this B&B which provided a lovely experience for us over our three days."

9.0

The attentiveness and grace of our hosts, Danial and Tomaz was superb yet not invasive in any way. Situated in a lovely and quiet location with a beautiful garden that we were encouraged to explore, the house interior was thoughtfully and beautifully furnished. The breakfast was lovely: homemade bread and jams, choice of teas, fresh fruit, perfect host. No orange-juice was offered which was a little surprising but fruit certainly made up for its absence. One morning we enjoyed 'Royal Eggs' made to a secret recipe which was excellent.

Lack of a light-weight summer duvet. Tried sleeping under just the cover plus two cotton blankets but then was too cold to sleep. However, I didn't raise this issue with our hosts so that's probably my own fault as maybe they may well have resolved this issue for us. Our shower-room was a long way from the bedroom so one needed to walk through the more 'public' parts of the house to reach it. However, this was only a very minor irritation and we became used to it. Next to our bedroom we enjoyed the use of our own wash-room which was perfect! I have to say there is not much not to like at this very special 'B&B with extras'.
