Villa Reviews
'From the moment we entered Azul Villa we instantly felt calmer. The retreat has a wonderful energy and ambiance, amazing views that stretch out to sea and each room has an individual theme incorporating amazing colours and textures. Once you step foot inside you never want to leave the peaceful sanctuary they have created. And in fact we only left the villa once a day to walk two minutes into the local village to pick up lunch from the bakery!'

Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks for a great week last week. Atmosphere at the Villa is great, classes were outstanding - so much so that I have signed up for a Pilates class trial this week - not sure it will be up to Jamie or Jo's standards though! Food was also great must say we all enjoyed Sonny's BBQ on Friday night. Have been inundated by questions from friends and family in the 24 hours I have been back - I have a feeling you will be seeing some of them later in the year and me again early in 2012. Thanks again and well done for a professional and friendly experience!

'Hi Jamie, Karissa, Hendrix and all the Azul fit team
Just wanted to say
a huge Thank You for a fantastic holiday at your beautiful villa.
It was
such an enjoyable time and the friendly faces really added to the whole
experience.
The food was amazing, I really think Jo should bring out a cook
book, it was very inspiring.
Karissa, thank you so much for the reiki, it
really helped! I'm sure I'll be seeing you all again, definitely want to come
back! Hope the sun is shining brightly & Happy Easter to you all,
Love Emily'

Hi Jamie and Karissa I didn't realise how
much I needed your retreat til I returned home feeling like a human being
again. The Villa was amazing, what a little gem you have
there! The classes and teachers, yourself included, were superb; I
felt challenged, energised and really appreciated the hands-on approach to
help me learn and get the best out of the postures. No
room for slacking haha! The food was incredible; delicious,
nutritious and prepared with love. The starter of chickpea and
tomato soup on the first night? I need that recipe, yummy!
Please thank Jo for her culinary skills as well as her Pilates
instruction. You set the tone just right for the retreat;
everyone brought different life experiences to the table yet
got on incredibly well. It was lovely to share in such a group dynamic.
All against a backdrop of you guys getting to grips with
parenthood. I still have some
challenging career-decisions to make (argh) and a time of upheaval
awaits. But I'm tackling it from a more centered and chilled-out
perspective ;o) Thank you again,
looking forward to my next visit. Warmest wishes'

Hello Jamie! First I would like to thank you and your wife for a lovely time I had at the Villa from Monday 7th. till 14th March. You were absolutely so kind, humble and helpful and your energy is so real. And since I loved it so much I would like to come back for a special week with you...'
Elisabeth V., Norway
Dear Jamie, Karissa, Jo, Annie, Radhika, Sonny & everyone at Azul, Thank you so much for providing such a relaxing yet uplifting 7 days. From the warm welcome & amazing hospitality, to the fantastic teachers, guides & treatments - every bit of this trip has been truly wonderful. I will go back to London reluctantly, but feeling fitter, stronger & happier, both physically and emotionally. Thank you for setting up such a brilliant retreat in such a beautiful island. I'll be back!'
Laurie F., London
'Hi Jamie and Karissa, Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks for a great week. I really enjoyed the classes and I thought the yoga/pilates mix and the variety of teachers worked very well. The food was very good too, and I thought just the right balance in terms of meals in/meals out. It's only Monday and I'm already wondering when I can come back...'
David M., London
'It's been a lovely week, so great to learn about all different types of yoga & so much more about pilates. Its wonderful teaching and such a great environment created by you all. Thank you very much, I'll definitely come back to this beautiful place... and thank you Karissa for opening my eyes to reiki.'
Charlie, London
Thank you for an amazing vacation, you helped me forget about the 'office' for a few days and I couldn't ask for anything more, I know 2008 is going to be great because we got off to such a great start.
Lindsey, New York
