Testimonials
“I absolutely loved my week at Topos Retreat and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs some peace and quiet and would like some expert help in finding their voice, shaping their stories, and boosting confidence. I enjoyed the mind-freeing quality of protected writing time in the fresh air, beautiful surroundings, fully catered with delicious, healthy home-made meals and cakes, warm sunny days, working in the shade of a giant fig tree, cooling dips in the pool, strolling to village tavernas, calm communal evening meals, as well as option excursions to classical sites, beautiful beaches, markets, and monasteries. I will definitely be going back.”

“You are welcomed in like family and looked after with delicious food, wonderful accommodation, company (when you want it) and time to learn. A week at Topos gave me invaluable time to breathe and reflect. I came away feeling changed, focused and creatively nourished. Thank you Nicoletta, Manolis and Zaphi and of course our wonderful guide and teacher Cathy Rentzenbrink, for providing such a haven in this busy world. I hope to come back soon!”

“Nicoletta has created the perfect conditions for a writing retreat: wonderful teaching, a beautiful, peaceful environment and delicious food. My week at Vasa transformed my writing project and gave me the inspiration and techniques to keep going afterwards. Nicoletta looks after every detail – all I had to do was turn up and enjoy myself.”
