I have to say that I may be a convert. The week at Wild View was one of the best that I have been on.
The food was utterly delicious, varied and wholesome, more importantly, it was something that could be sustainable and carried on into the ‘real world’ in life away from the retreat.
Jo from #modernfoodstories was an amazing chef and very informative. She gave a couple of workshops during our stay which was certainly a bonus!! She was also good fun and beautiful.
We were give nutritional talks which were fun and educational. Andrew, the founder, is a qualified nutritionist and is all about the gut! He is a very charismatic man. He is easy to listen to and is totally engaged with everything going on at the retreat. He is also totally invested in you as his guest and client. Great voice, great delivery, and all round nice guy. He and his wife Erica, make a great team. She has been the designer of the interior of the retreat and I have to say that you can see that it has had love, time and money invested into the property helping to create a unique ambience.
The yoga was every morning after a morning guided walk. It was lovely that all the staff joined us for the walk.
This retreat week was run by Suzanne who is also a yoga teacher. The yoga was twice a day and I loved it. It was strong enough not to be boring for the intermediate but also not too challenging for beginners. She took us through the whole week, taking us on our own journey to progress to a point that would inspire us.
She is a fabulous woman, very special. She is encouraging and nurturing. No problem too small or too big There aren’t many humans like her on this planet.
I can miss out the rest of the stuff as they all impacted in the week and made it what it was. Adrian was a dynamo of cleaning, mending, digging, keep fitting!!! I can’t mention all that he did.... so so much.
I will definitely be returning and I do hope to see familiar faces.
Well done.... you’ve got it right. read less

The food was amazing, the walks were stunning, the yoga which was run by Suzanne was very uplifting, Suzanne is a wonderful lady who really knows how to help you calm the mind and body. We made body lotions and learnt how to make chocolate truffles. Andew’s nutritional talks were inspiring and you really gain a lot more knowledge about the food you are putting into your mouth which helps you actually make real changes when you get back home. The setting of Wild View is so beautiful, with huge orange sunsets and sunrises across the hills, it really is a magical and peaceful location but also not too far a journey from Faro. We had an aqua aerobics class this time which was fun and the best Nia dance class too. I think the guys here have really thought through what a retreat should be and they have absolutely nailed it. This was my second visit, first time was a juice retreat and this time a vegan retreat. All the staff are so lovely and they have some great masseurs too. Definitely going to book up a third visit. As I said ‘A magical Week’ 😃 read less

The daily schedule was busy with a long break in the afternoon - meditation, yoga, walks through the forest and to the lake, fitness and excellent, informative talks on nutrition filled the day. Three tasty handmade juices a day and hot soup every evening were provided plus a carefully managed transition back to food on the final day. The owners Andrew and Erica were great hosts and the team friendly, well informed and welcoming. The infinity pool is stunning! The accommodation is comfortable and very well appointed. Highly recommended! read less

Delicious, nutritious juices make the juice fast programme enjoyable, as do the friendly staff and class teachers. Thoroughly enjoyed my week’s stay and go home feeling energised, fitter and with a new grasp of nutrition thanks to the informative talks. I’ll be back. read less
