Rosaleen (Manchester)

“How often can you stand at your front gate and see a herd of goats coming towards you and wake up in the morning with a couple of horses grazing outside your house – this is the only experience of a ‘traffic jam’ you will get!”

"I have never been on a holiday of this nature before and the experience of it has helped me to come away with a new perspective of changing my career path following the life coaching sessions. I have also seen the real Spain as opposed to the commercial side. Chris and Terry are great hosts who provided us with tours of the markets and villages (if required) and opportunities to understand Bach Flower and Homeopathy remedies which proved to be very informative".

“A ‘must do’ retreat for anyone looking to escape from the fast paced corporate world”!

Linda (Manchester)

“A thoroughly enjoyable experience with the mixture of workshops and leisure time which left me feeling refreshed and centred”

"I felt really looked after by the hosts who were very flexible towards our needs and tailored the workshops to our requirements. I now have a greater understanding of Bach Flowers and Homeopathy which I will use on a personal level. The life coaching was excellent and has helped me to focus upon what I actually want for the future with the tools to achieve my goals. The wonderful view of the countryside and the mountain walks were truly spectacular as was the various wildlife"

"The Dru Yoga workshop was a first for both of us.It gave us a feeling of well being and a sense of calm and confidence. It uplifted our minds and bodies which neither of us expected so we want to continue to practise daily. We are looking forward to the next workshop."

The Green family (Newcastle upon Tyne)

"Back again in 2008 for our second visit, the whole family has fallen in love with Finca Colina all over again!

The setting is perfect, the accommodation is of the highest standard and Christine and Terry are warm and welcoming hosts - even going out of their way to provide us with vegan staples like soya milk in our welcome pack!

We love the location, with its possibilities as a base to explore the real Spain, and the (almost!) guaranteed sunshine and welcoming pool are a real bonus! We also all have a soft spot for the furry inhabitants, who are always ready to receive a stroke or a cuddle from the children! We know we will be back – the kids would never forgive us otherwise!"

Tina (Staffordshire)

"Many thanks to Christine and Terry for their warm and friendly hospitality in a restful and relaxed space and a big thank you to Hazel our teacher who was encouraging and patient and a very nice person"

Judith and Barbara (Newcastle upon Tyne)

"We arrived at Finca Colina stressed, weary and in need of some 'me' time. Our stay here was indeed a 'retreat' and the absolute silence (interrupted by the occasional far-off sound of the goats and donkeys) was idyllic, together with the fantastic views of mountains all around. Photographs and words just cannot do justice to the fantastic 'real' Spain which we experienced at Finca Colina. Christine and Terry are wonderful hosts who have provided such well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, lounge and kitchen in the converted casitas and we loved having Chilli and all the cats to welcome us daily. We returned home 'all ironed out' and already planning our return visit."

"It's hard to put into a few words what a lovely family holiday we had at Finca Colina. The scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere so peaceful. It really is the ideal retreat when you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of more conventional holidays. Chris and Terry were so welcoming and very helpful when we wanted to venture out to explore the area, by suggesting places to visit and it was lovely spending time with them just chatting. Sometimes we just wanted to read and swim, and the pool area was a treat. We loved sharing our holiday with the very loving and funny Chillie dog and Blanco the cat. They became our pets away from home. We will certainly be returning to recharge our batteries very soon".

Sindy (Little Baddow Essex)

"I needed a break from a very stressful job and family life and was fortunate to find Finca Colina on the internet, it was heaven sent and definitely the answer to my prayers.

The pictures don't do the scenery justice, although they are good pictures. If only the internet could reproduce the sights and smells, real country living. Waking up each morning to the fresh mountain air and scenery that was breath taking was the best start to my recovery. Yoga with Terry by the pool, an aromatherapy massage, a life coaching session with Christine as well as reflexology were vital ingredients to redressing the balance in my hectic life. The weather was wonderful which made sitting round the pool a pleasure, with an occasional dip to cool me off. Terry taught me some Spanish cookery with ingredients from their land - excellent. Both Terry and Christine are excellent cooks. The meals they prepared were of extremely high standard, absolutely delicious!

I read 7 books, got a great tan and came away feeling like a new woman.

I could not have found a better place and will definitely be going back, I just can't wait.

Thank you Terry and Christine I came as a stranger and left with two new friends, Ops sorry no, several new friends. Chilli (that beautiful black bundle of doggie fun) was an angel. He and Blanco (the cat) were my regular companions when I was lazing around and made me feel less lonely when away from my family.
God bless you all, and see you really soon I hope."

Pawel and Edyta (Poland)

"Finca Colina is the oasis we know we'll be back to many times. Absolutely brilliant stay, relaxing and revitalising. We don't want to tell anybody about the place! We want it just for us! Thank you Chris, Terry and the cats."

Mitch and Mike (Carcassonne, France)

"A wonderful place for a romantic break - to relax and de-stress. Peace and paella. What more could you want? We loved our stay in this beautiful location...even if Mitch beat me at boule! Looking at diary to book again."

"The best place to fall in love with Andalucia, tranquility and relaxation on the menu"

Judith and Tilly (Nenthead England)

"Lovely scenery,the hills are as beautiful as the pennines with the added attraction of the warm sun. Love cafe con leche!!" (Judith)

"I love Finca Colina because of all of the attractions like the donkey sanctuary,Lobo park and Fuengirola zoo which has made my stay here great" "ps how cute is Blanco and Badger I will miss you" (Tilly)

Bea and Lizzy (Buckinghamshire, England)

"An oasis filled with the stillness of reality. Televisions,Watches and computers suddenly appear unimportant and the meaning of goat bells and birdsong all consuming." (Bea)

"One of the best trips ever. The sound of silence is golden." (Lizzy)
