My friend and I had an amazing long weekend at Alaya, which turned out to be the perfect retreat. The team, including Ellen, Evo, and others, were incredibly friendly, hospitable, and made us feel like family. We enjoyed rejuvenating yoga and meditation classes with Celeste every day, as well as reiki sessions with the horses. We also spent hours basking in the sun by the pool, relaxing and reading. The food was absolutely delicious, and after several days of healthy and nutritious meals, I felt great. The house and rooms were beautifully renovated, impeccably clean, and the property was surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills, ideal for evening walks. The only suggestion I have is to bring some mosquito spray. To reach the house, we took the train from Barcelona to Vilafranca, followed by a taxi ride of around 20 minutes. We can't wait to come back and would like to thank Ellen for everything. Best regards, Alice xx
