"We have been this bank holiday weekend, a group of 16 friends and we have all been amazed by the place. The houses are in a beautiful and very quiet enclave, it has all the comforts, it does not lack a detail, barbecue area, swimming pool, and surrounded of fruit trees, everything is decorated with exquisite taste, to be as comfortable as in your house or more, with all kinds of utensils, the 3 days have been very little for us, I hope to be able to repeat it, I recommend it one hundred percent, no problems."

I LOVE the way my brain, mind, body, and heart feels when I'm engaged in constructing an Islamic Geometric Pattern. The community was great ---- I've never been in a group with such diversity, with people from literally all over the world. Also, Fadhila was a perfect instructor for this. She is first of all, very competent, but also friendly, welcoming, encouraging. And always with a big smile. It was a joy to come on every morning and see her smiling at us.

The house is beautiful, very clean, the ideal place to disconnect, an environment that makes you fall in love and invites you to return without a second's hesitation.Silence, peace, beauty. Thank you 💚

A paradise, the location, the architecture, the decoration, the details, the cleanliness, beautiful and highly recommended.

I so appreciated the fact that to complete it I had to set aside time for ME each day, but it was ME in community across the world. And we all celebrated each other and cheered each other on. What an amazing supportive community to come out of this challenge.
Melissa B.
GCIA Student
Tradition and modernity combine perfectly in the conception of the farmhouse, made up of several villas that have an outstanding aesthetic design and the most current technology perfectly integrated into the natural environment. It is worth highlighting the variety of common spaces (barbecue, terraces, trampoline, etc.) with the preeminence that the exclusive use of its great pool gave me. In short, a pleasure for the senses and a rest for the soul that I hope to repeat.
Carlos M.
Retreat Participant
It was more than just an event – it was an immersive experience that nourished my soul and expanded my understanding of Islamic art and culture. I left feeling inspired, educated, and connected to a global community of like-minded individuals. I highly recommend this event to anyone passionate about art, culture, and spirituality.
