Fabulous days, very nice host, we especially appreciated the common outdoor kitchen and enjoyed the „coming down to earth“.
Stayed for a wonderful week at the end of August. Arrived to an open-hearted welcome from Sabine and thoroughly enjoyed a retreat amidst the quiet, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of the olive grove. Loved the shared experience of cooking organic veggie meals together, meeting new people and sharing experiences while making the most of taking time for solitude. Of course there's the beautiful harbour, restaurants and bars 20 minures walk away and the aqua blue Adriatic Sea for swimming. Thank you Sabine for creating such a wonderful haven.
If you're looking to be pampered in some luxurious spa by a swimming pool, this is not your retreat. But if you want to get off the grid and reconnect with yourself and nature, I don't think you'll find a better one. The accommodations were spartan, just as advertised, which added to the "off the grid" feel that I was looking for. But just because it was spartan did not mean comfort was sacrificed. The canvas tents were spacious with a table, chair, and mosquito netted cot. The kitchen was interesting architecturally and efficient and practical for eating and cooking. And the sun-warmed water for showers worked great. The yoga dome was an ideal place for yoga in the morning and the stone circle auditorium was the perfect environment for meditation. There was also a hammock hut that I took advantage of many times for afternoon naps. The walks to beaches and evening picnic in the mountains rounded off an exceptional week of mindfulness.
My friend Alberte and I stayed at Gea Viva in the summer 2018 for about a week. The place was calm and beautiful, with a beautiful outside stone kitchen and a yoga dome. We loved living with Sabine's dog Pia and the donkey Babu. Sabine was a great host and her passion for sustainability was incredible. Everytime we used water in the kitchen, the excess water was used to water the olive plantation and her garden with vegetables. It felt great to live sustainably. However, living there during the summer was extremely hot for two scandinavian girls like us.
I was lucky enough to spend over one month staying and working at Gea Viva. The proprietor, Sabine, was one of the most warming and welcoming hosts I have ever encountered. From the very first day I arrived, I felt like family, between her lovely friends who would often visit and the animals that live the good life at Gea Viva. The passion that Sabine had for Gea Viva was unparalleled, truth be told if my responsibilities did not call me home I would have stayed much longer.
If you have the opportunity to stay at Gea Viva you will find the same experience. You will have the opportunity to join Sabine for meditation in the morning and afternoon, yoga in the evening as well as trips to some of the local favorites on the island. I can't recommend a visit to Gea Viva enough!
