I had such an amazing time. The location is gorgeous and very relaxing, the horses are really well taken care of and friendly and Isa and her family make such wonderful hosts. My goal with this retreat was to get better at riding (I'm a beginner), learn more about horses and also to get away from the NYC craziness and this was just perfect. Every day had just the right amount of activity and down time. The food was humble and yummy (I usually have stomach problems and had no issues at all the whole week). I would definitively come back!
I had to come back it was so good here at Finca Soley! Very comfortable accommodations, wonderful experienced and kind riding instructor. Isa’s empathetic and positive vibe is everywhere on this retreat. She meets your riding skills where you are, helps you advance forward at a comfortable pace and manages to make everything work so nicely! Yoga with the gentle teachers are a great way to start each day. Milton has such a wide skill set and is especially knowledgeable about medicinal plants. The whole family is a joy to be around! Highly recommended!
My first solo trip was an unforgettable experience. I gained so many beautiful and interesting insights and am grateful that I was able to have this experience. It was a well-organised trip overall and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I really enjoyed the beautiful nature, Isa's training and, of course, the horses. I recommend it to everyone this is a life experience you don't want to miss.
Thank you Isa & family for this wonderful experience.
I had a wonderful time. Isa and her family are a joy to be with. The riding and Yoga are exceptional and the accomodations and food were great. I would go back anytime.
What a wonderful paradise up in the mountains of Costa Rica. At Finca Soley, all buildings on site are hand built with local materials and Isla's designers touch! Just loved the set up, the early morning yoga rituals, riding after breakfast, long walks on property. Not enough can be said about the well trained, beautiful happy horses. The lessons were well thought out with lots of challenges. The last day experiencing the art of liberty topped the trip off! The best cooked and fresh food, so plentiful I know I gained weight while there! The experience was just so appreciative, I very much needed the break from work and Isla and the entire family were so nice and accommodating! It was hard to leave.
