  1. Temperature: During the day, temperatures in late September and early October typically range from around 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F). However, it's essential to note that temperatures can vary depending on altitude and weather patterns.

This was my first Women's Retreat, so I had no idea what to expect. Ellen provided an outstanding experience starting with the beautiful venue. The villa was located in the middle of a 5 acre citrus grove that had four varieties of oranges, lemons and limes. Chase, our private chef, prepared delicious, 5 star, healthy meals => clean eating. I couldn't get enough of the meditation, yoga, sound bath, hiking, wine tasting, lounging by the pool, swimming.....a total wellness experience. Esteemed women from all over the country attended and their presentations were very inspiring. I am empowered! I highly recommend BOUNDLESS!

Our boundless trip was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Ellen created a safe environment for us to discuss real estate and our vulnerabilities... real estate related and otherwise. All the women who attended were kind and welcoming and the speakers were absolutely incredible! I'm so luck to be able to attend such an amazing food with such great food. The connections I made there will last a life time. Thank you Ellen for your kindness and hospitality! I can't wait to attend another BOUNDLESS retreat!
