( they are the best ) who took care from arrival to departure to make sure our Epic Retreat was unforgettable
As a solo traveller I highly recommend an Epic Retreat to recharge
Can’t wait to go back

Epic Retreats is a dream. From first reading the advertisement to arriving home, everything was spot on. Not one hitch. The experience was improved by Seanie and Alecja. They have an amazing place with an amazing setting and work amazingly hard to, they go the extra mile to make sure we all had an amazing experience. They undersell and overdrive. Not one stone left unturned. I'll be back and not only for Alecja's delicious food which is 10 out of 5.

I recently went on a Hiking/Yoga/Walking/SUP/Snorkeling/Wine Tasting trip, Food with Epic Retreats. The Hiking was really lovely. The route had a great mix of challenge and scenery. Each day brought something different from peaceful country side walks, local Market, wine tasting. Boat trip, swimming, SUP and Snorkeling. Food was another standout. Every meal fresh and nourishing. Delicious. What really tied everything together was the atmosphere, welcoming, relaxed. So easy to switch off, meet like minded people. Overall I highly recommend this kind of break if your looking to re charge, stay active and enjoy good food with lovely people in a beautiful setting.

Always have a lovely time on Epic retreat trips, have been back 3 times! The Hiking and yoga, Womens empowerment and the Food and wine trip. Have enjoyed each one thoroughly always come back relaxed and refreshed. Beautiful location the town, the views,the food, the walks, hikes, the hosts,the sun so much packed in 🙂

I went to south of france and had a amazing trip. Food, hikes and craic was amazing. Rooms so clean. Great pool and sauna.
Our two hosts seanie and alicja are amazing and did a brilliant job of making everything perfect for everyone. I will be back. Thanks guys, 10/10

I have done 2 different Retreats with Seanie & Alicja. The 1st was a Yoga and Hiking Retreat that was brilliant to say the least. The Hiking was amazing with views that were second to none !! The Yoga sessions in the evening and mornings were so good that i had no aches and pains that normally accompanied the hikes that I've done in the past 😀 The Chalet is beautiful with a pool and sauna available to use anytime. What can I say about the food .... 10 out of 10,Alicjas meals and treats were fabulous.I enjoyed the experience so much so that I jumped at the chance of going back to their beautiful chalet in France for A Womens Empowerment Retreat where I met a great bunch of wonderful women. The sessions of Yoga combined with the pool and sauna were fantastic and learning about how to use Empowerment in my life is something I am still using to this day. I cannot recommend Epic Retreat enough so much so that I will definitely going back

Women's Empowerment Week. Feb 2025
It was abs lovely, we were collected from airport and it was smooth sailing from there on in. The accommodation was fantastic, I had lovely patio doors out to the pool and sauna area which was bliss.
There is a wee local bar just 5 mins walk and another one which does great music! Sean and Alicia are so hospitable they lit couldn't have done more for us during the stay. The food was amazing I felt so healthy when I was there. Alicia makes the best food! I would recommend a food course with her. We hiked, did yoga and had lovely swim in the sea, went to a local market ...drank lovely red wine and just had the best craic! It was such a lovely chill time - go you wont regret it! Weather is lovely too BTW! As are the views 😊👌

I have been on 5 trips with Sean and Alicia and every single time when I think it can't get better, it does....!

So much so, 10 friends and I did a trip for my roundy bday in 2025. Each trip is so special and I often describe it as an adult school tour.

U don't have to think about a single thing from the minute u arrive and decision making is overrated anyway!!

I keep trying to go solo but haven't managed it yet as someone always jumps on board after listening to me rave about it!

It is simply epic EVERY time. It starts as a gang of strangers and it ends up feeling like hanging out with best friends who insist u don't lift a finger!!

The scenery is amazing, the hiking is incredible, the food is unreal and Sean and Alicia adapt constantly but discreetly making sure everyone has the best time possible!

My home from home in an amazing part of the world which is almost always guaranteed sun!

Looking forward to my next trip already!

A must and so affordable ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️!

What an experience with Alicja and Seanie, they are so kind and totally professional but you don’t even notice how professional they are because it all just happens around you as if by magic, you don’t have to think about another thing once you have booked only show up for the flight, every single other thing is done for you, which as a working Mama is such a joy, the hikes and yoga are tailored to suit each person’s capabilities, the views are stunning, the weather is fab, the food is delicious, the atmosphere at their home is so friendly and welcoming, you will come home after a few days with Alicja and Seanie like a new shinier happier zen version of yourself, I can’t wait to go back!

The best group trip experience I’ve had in years – so good I booked three times in 18 months!
From the wellness retreat, to the women’s empowerment trip, and then the hardcore hikers adventure (with a bit of sea‑cliff abseiling thrown in), each stay offered something truly special and completely different. Every break was fantastic, memorable, and thoughtfully tailored.
Sean and Alicja are exceptional hosts who genuinely cannot do enough for their guests. Everything runs seamlessly, with all the logistics managed quietly behind the scenes. They are brilliant at catering for different abilities, ensuring everyone feels included and is always doing something they genuinely enjoy.
A special mention has to go to Alicja’s cooking – absolutely outstanding. I’m still trying (and failing!) to recreate the incredible treats that appeared like magic on the hikes, just when we needed them most.
The house itself is perfect for group trips, with the pool and sauna really being the icing on the cake. All of this is set in a beautiful Provençal village with the most breathtaking views imaginable.
I honestly cannot wait to go back.

Keep rolling the stone, as Alicja would say!
I was brought to this holiday by friends, probably wouldn’t have picked it myself.
But I enjoyed it so much that I went back and will still go back!!
It is the full package of activities, friendship, good food and relaxation…how is all that even possible, I don’t know! But Alicja and Seanie know how to make it happen with the surprise factor all the times!
I would recommend it to everyone!!

My first trip was on New Years and I can honestly say it was the best trip I've ever been on. I'm a self employed person with a chronic illness and zero time or will to think about anything but escaping reality for a short time,I just booked it and got on the plane. Every thing else was done for me! It was the absolute dream!!! Collected from the airport,every delicious plate of food handed to me...and with our own self appointed sommelier I have never,ever been so spoilt in my life! Picnic lunches overlooking the beautiful south of France, the most beautiful people in our group,many friends for life. We rang in the new year in the most amazing way,I will never forget that New Years eve and how incredibly special it was made for us by our epic hosts ,Alicja and Seanie! Full of surprises! Ive done many solo trips and this was without doubt,the most unique,memorable and rewarding!! So good I've been back for more and will absolutely go again in the future!

My trips were all hiking trips and I worried I may not be able for some but I needn't have worried as the guys were so accommodating for everyone's abilities ❤️ forever grateful for the experiences 🥰🤩

There are no words that can adequately describe the wonderful experience that was delivered to us on our adventure to France. This was not just a holiday , It was an unforgettable experience that lifted our spirits and our minds to a different place . Every thought and every problem was taken away while we visited our now wonderful life long friends. There was no stone left unturned to make us feel so at home, welcome and comfortable in every sense. If you want something different and you want to know the secret of the now world famous vegetarian granola then start living your life and visit the 8th wonder of the world. Life is just to short, so make your dreams a reality, you won’t regret it.

This was honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever taken, and I’ll definitely be going back!

You can join this group whether you’re travelling solo or with friends. From the moment you land, everything is taken care of—airport pick‑up and drop‑off are included, and I didn’t have to spend a cent while I was there.

The hikes were extremely well organised and adjusted to suit everyone’s ability. You don’t need to be an experienced hiker or super fit—each route was tailored so all participants felt comfortable.

Alicja and Sean are incredibly friendly hosts, and their home is cozy, welcoming, and instantly relaxing. The unlimited wine, beer, tea, and coffee are a lovely bonus! Alicja’s cooking is absolutely divine. The location itself is stunning, with breathtaking views everywhere you look.

If I could rate this trip higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

Just book it—you won’t regret it!

A beautiful home based in an authentic french village with the added luxury of a sauna + swimming pool.
Every meal is delicious + totally prepared from scratch with healthy high quality produce.
The region offers varied terrain + some routes are accessible on foot from the property, others a short drive away. Each days hikes where so different + interesting, with options for all fitness levels.
Much thanks to Hosts Seanie / Alicja who make a great team + go over + beyond for their guests.

A breakaway for those who are looking for the personal touch.... Our hosts have figured out what works and they do it so well ... Amazing food and I completely forgot that there was no meat.... Tasty, filling and nutritionally ticking all the boxes ... We did three hikes which were all completely different and really gave us an all round view of the area ... The house is tasteful , cosy and feels like home .. Hot sauna and their own private pool is the finishing touch after a day out roaming the area.... Will definitely be back ...

Absolute 10/10 experience! The hosts were incredible, the hikes were brilliant and the food was amazing. Loved the perfect balance of adventure and downtime. It was great to have sometime to just unwind. Highly recommend!

One of the best trips I have been on. It was the great experience from start to finish, with every day being completely different.
The hosts were amazing, very caring and knowledgeable about the area and hikes.
The accommodation and food was great, the village was very picturesque and sauna and pool at the end of the day was bonus (especially cold pool after sauna 😂).

Thank you so much for the whole experience and definitely coming back for the card game 😉.

Well organised hikes and very careful with all the members of the group. Easy adaptable to the needs of each member of the group. The accommodation is very clean and well maintained and the sauna made all the difference in our short stay in the house, being a real blessing after each hike at the end of the day. A big thank you for Sean and Alicia.
