Reviews
I am a die hard fan of LindaFit Lifestyle Retreats. I have gone on every trip they've offered so far! I am never disappointed. This was our second trip to Sicily. Both times, we stayed at the wonderful Badiula. I loved returning to this special place. A highlight was that we could do our fitness classes on a rooftop and gaze at Mt. Etna and spectacular sunsets and the food is wonderful as is the staff. Linda and Mark carefully choose excursions that are educational and enjoyable. There was even time on a beautiful beach in Noto. This time, there were several new participants, so the bonus was that I met some lovely new friends.

Danette, it was fantastic having you again with us! We had another amazing visit to Sicily. I didn’t think we could top last year‘s, but this one was equally “spectacular”. And yes, so many nice new friends. Mark and I are thrilled that you are coming to the Algarve with us next August. Here’s to having new adventures and creating more wonderful memories!

I really enjoyed my LindaFit trip to Sicily. Linda and Mark are amazing. The program was very well thought out from start to finish. They think through all details and make sure that all participants' needs are met. I also really enjoyed the company of everyone who attended. Will do it again

Thank you, dear Antoinette. We loved having you in our group. Your warmth and humor were greatly appreciated. We would love to have you with us for future experiences – who knows? Maybe we all go to Bulgaria for another holiday Retreat….

Going to Sicily with Linda and Mark was my fourth experience traveling with Linda-fit retreats. Not only is she an experienced, caring and excellent Pilates teacher, but also a delightful travel leader. We stayed at an expertly run agrotourism retreat center. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The food was beyond the pale amazing, as you can imagine, being in Sicily!
In the morning we participated in longevity and strength training exercises with Marc Wood, who has spent years training, studying and practicing exercises and techniques to promote ones strength, mobility and mental acuity. Our evening Pilates classes were on the roof top patio with views of Mount Etna along with brilliant sunsets. We explored the magical cities and towns in and around Catania led by expert guides who shared their knowledge of Sicily’s rich regional history. It’s a great experience traveling with Linda. The retreats are combination of travel, well-being, good company and lots of fun!
Obviously, I highly recommend Linda-fit!!

Linda & Mark orchestrated a wonderful and spectacular trip in Sicily! I enjoyed the excursions and appreciated all the time and effort to tailor the trip to everyone's needs. Wonderful ambassadors for Italy and I have left intrigued to see and learn more about it! The classes were great and I enjoyed gaining more understanding of pilates. Pilates at sunset will be a memory I won't ever forget! grazie mille!!

Spectacular Sicily delivered on every aspect. It was well organized and every detail was pre arranged and perfect. The classes were presented by 2 caring professionals. The facility and staff were welcoming and helpful. The tours were excellent. Great value for the money. Linda & Mark personally attended to every individual and enhanced our enjoyment in many ways. The trip was exceptional. I would do it again and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Susan. It was a pleasure having you with us for your first LindaFit retreat. Your warmth and humor added greatly to the group experience. And what a week we had- gourmet cuisine, rooftop fitness classes, cooking classes, excursions and tours-and the weather was just perfect! We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for being a part of it and we look forward to hosting you on future retreats..
Love,
Mark and Linda

We just had another amazing experience on a LindaFit retreat, this time in Ireland. Each day was filled with energizing workouts and unforgettable excursions that allowed us to take in breathtaking landscapes and coastal views while learning more about the Irish experience. Linda fit retreats create community through a warm, open and joyful atmosphere. Thank you Linda and Mark!
