As expected, this trip was such a delightful experience. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was devine and plentiful, the members of the group, each and every one, delightful, warm, engaging, fun, and genuinely nice, and the planned excursions were so so enjoyable. I love going on a LindaFit Lifestyle Retreat because of the above reasons and the fact that I am so enriched by the shared experiences and the wisdom Linda and Mark impart. Linda is such a good organizer that once you arrive on the premises, you don't have to worry about a thing. The only complaint is that the week goes by way too fast. I am looking forward to the next time I can be with this group.

Thank you, Mary Jane. We are so happy that you have now been to three of our LindaFit Lifestyle Retreats! And please know that your warmth humor and amazing storytelling add so much to the group experience. I agree, the saddest thing is when the week has to end, and we must say goodbye. But we always have something planned on the horizon! Next trip: Ireland, May 2025.

A wonderful mother/adult daughter getaway in a beautiful place with warm and friendly people. The classes were excellent and Linda and Mark organized the perfect mix of activities and down time. The food was delicious and accommodations comfortable. Such a fun and relaxing week- looking forward to doing it again!

Thank you, Eve. It was a pleasure having you and Elena with us on this trip. We are glad you enjoyed the place, the classes, and all the wonderful excursions. Meal time was a big a highlight with the group too-spending hours laughing, talking and enjoying world-class Italian food and wine.. No need for cellphones at this table! And of course we enjoyed the post meal passegiata-stroll. Thanks for being a part of it and we look forward to hosting you and Elena again on a future LindaFit Lifestyle Retreat.

Dear Beverly, We were thrilled to have you in this group and we look forward to hosting you on future LindaFit European getaways. Mary Jane has always been the greatest raconteur, and now we see she has the perfect counterpart... We thank the two of you for all the great stories and laughs. You both added so much to the group experience!

This was my third trip with Lindafit Lifestyle Retreats and I loved this one as much as I loved the other two! Linda and Mark put so much love and care into the planning of the trips and that is reflected in every detail. They put together a warm, congenial group and we bonded beautifully. I cried (twice) when it was time to say good-bye. They chose a lovely place to stay called Badiula not far from the airport in Catania, where the food was so well prepared, so delicious and so plentiful. I particularly appreciated that my dietary needs were always accommodated whenever and wherever we had an included meal (I'm vegetarian). The excursions were fascinating and varied from our hike on volcanic Mt. Etna to our visits to Taormina and Siracusa. The sights were enthralling and we learned so much history! Linda's and Mark's love and care were extended to each of us in our fitness and longevity classes that were so thoughtfully given each day. So, if you like group travel to wonderful places and you want to stay fit while enjoying great food and great sights with warm and wonderful people, Lindafit Lifestyle Retreats are for you!

Dear Danette, Mark and I were so thrilled to have you on our third LindaFit Lifestyle Retreat. It's hard to believe that we could top the last one in Umbria, but then there was Sicily- in all its splendor! Indeed, we will be returning there soon.....We are happy that the delicious Italian cuisine suited your vegetarian diet and having wine included with dinner every night was a real treat! I will never forget your face when you got that first glimpse of breathtaking Taormina and the Mediterranean sea. The weather was absolutely perfect-adding to the moment- and you were beaming from ear to ear. Such incredible memories shared with such a nice group of people. We can't wait for Ireland, and we are so happy you are coming with us again!

I have been at 3 outstanding retreats with #lindafit Life Style Retreats. The last one in Sicily was great! Linda and Mark have organised a great weeklong of classes, at a very beautiful place in south east Sicily: The itinerary was very well balanced with wellness classes, excursions, wine tasting, great meals and most importantly lovely friends. I so enjoyed my third retreat in Italy with Linda and Mark and I am looking forward to the next one to Ireland in May 2025.
By Dorit K for LindaFit Lifestyle Retreats - Sicilian Splendor on Sep 27, 2024
Dear Dorit, We are beginning to think a LindaFit Lifestyle Retreat would not be the same without you. And you are the perfect client-as our group experiences are designed for those who love travel and exploring, socializing and relaxing, eating amazing food, and of course, staying fit and energized. We are so happy you enjoyed Sicily and all its splendors. More of them to come!....In the meantime, we look forward to hosting you this May in beautiful Ireland.
