You would work your menu out with them, depending on what requirements you have: vegetarian, vegan, Mediterranean seafood, gourmet meats etc, and book directly through them.
Catering Rates for time: it works out to be approx €350 per day for the caterer’s time (including a second person for kitchen prep / clearing /serving help for dinner) for a 3 meal roster and self-serve snacks.
Food costs: are additional to the caterer’s time, depending on what type of food you require, on the menus you have organised with the caterer. Previous retreat groups normally spend around €40+ per person per day on food – the caterer will shop for all of the ingredients and give you all the food receipts.

Airport transfers are approx €200 each way per 5 seater van. Local transport approx €80 per hour for 5 seater van. Contact details provided upon booking of villa, for facilitators to organise directly.
All the above pricing is approximate, as they are separate services to us. Pricing / availability can be confirmed by contacting these service providers directly.
Checking the viability of organsing a retreat
If these figures work for you after having complied your own per-person pricing to on-sell, to fill beds on your retreat – we would love to chat further. We like to show these approximate pricings up front, to assist facilitators early on in their research. It’s never easy organising a retreat, and there are so many little extras to think about, to make sure you get a clear picture from the beginning!
