our Reviewer karen hockney says of her portugal retreat:

‘It’s a horseback adventure along the deserted coastline edged by pine-filled dunes which has the most rebalancing effect on me. Puro Sangue takes me on a wild and utterly liberating canter through the ocean shallows which I’ll never forget’

Queen of Retreats says:

‘Victoire created Take the Time because she wanted women to remind themselves that it's important to put themselves first sometimes, and take time off to get away, get active and do what they love, whether that’s on her one-day retreats or longer. Now it’s a flourishing, supportive community that women love being part of. Everything is taken care of on retreat - you just have to kick back and relax’
