Testimonials

The retreat has many return guests, here are some comments from a few of them:

"The retreat is perfect for finding inspiration - and acting on it!
There is the space to work out new ideas, as well opportunities to explore the stunning Andalucian countryside and meet with other writers, musicians and painters living and working in the area.
The service provided is ideal if you are looking for an informal set-up dedicated to giving maximum time to writing. What I found most rewarding was the time I had to just sit and write."

"El Llano de la Luz is indeed a place of light.
I stayed in a room with stunning mountain views, with my own balcony, and finally found the peace to embark on my writing project.
Jacqueline was a most gracious and warm- hearted hostess, driving me in and out of the village of Comares - a wonder of labyrinthine white streets and Moorish architecture - and even organizing Spanish lessons with a delightful local teacher.
An unforgettable time, an oasis of Andalucian beauty and peace."

Vivienne Vermes, Paris, Author of 'Sand Woman' and 'Metamorphoses.'

"Despite the relaxed pace - or more likely because of it - I finished a short story, started others and did some useful reading.
More importantly I felt a tide of negativity wash away. I found I could think clearly about the future - I made plans for 2006.
I’m going back to the retreat again in May and somehow I know that won’t be for the last time."
