testimonials
Understandably, retreat leaders and hosts reaching out to us for the first time, can feel nervous; so I am always happy to make introductions for you to get a reference.
We have received more beautiful and generous testimonials over the years than I can possibly share. Below is some recent feedback and a couple of my favourite testimonials from previous years.
Our week at your magical Casa Fuzetta was as wonderful as I could have dreamed. I brought together longtime friends who mostly did not know each other and they bonded better than I ever hoped. Thank you for your help in arranging this week for us. Your team at Casa Fuzetta was so terrific and we all felt like family thanks to them. Chef Hélio, Sanné, Justine Massage and Joao Transport all excelled. - US host, October 2025
It was an amazing experience Tara! Many of my guests said it was their favorite retreat they have been on!
First timers were also blown away! Even though the rain blessed us we still had some lovely sun enough to even enjoy the islands and the pool. I know you don’t control the weather but just wanted you to know that it did not change the fact that we had a fantastic retreat! As the retreat leader, I really appreciate your attention communication and your staff also reflect that level of communication. A super lovely demeanor interacting with me. It was a pleasure to work with them. Also, all of the recommendations that you provided were including the chef was beyond amazing. We were blown away at each and every meal.
Salinhas was fantastic definitely a highlight! We LOVED it!
Also Morgado winery day was a downpour day but the lunch experience was still top notch!
Johnny the sound journey musician was great too people loved it. As it turned out the alternate yoga space- Recreativa - was absolutely beautiful with the art and magnificent floors. Everything was wonderful. - US host, October 2024
We had a magical week! Thank you and your amazing house team, especially the unflappable Claudia! She, along with all the gals made everything run perfectly. It’s a treat and privilege to be in such a beautiful place. You have created an amazing sanctuary. Thank you again!! - US host, November 2023
Thank you for providing a space but not just any space but a space that holds so much energy and feels so great to be in. Thank you for the wonderful staff. You really do have amazing staff that go out of their way to be so kind and caring and also, which is important, relaxed. It definitely makes it much easier for me running retreats to have wonderful support around me. - UK retreat leader, October 2023
Casa Fuzetta is very special. I took my shoes off as soon as I walked in and remained barefoot throughout! I love the stone floors and the earthy energy. As soon as I arrived I felt grounded. I really do feel very much at home there. And I know everyone with me felt the same. - UK retreat leader, September 2023
All I can say is - trust your instinct! If you’ve been drawn to CF it is for good reason. I met Tara’s husband, son and two of her long time friends while there and she is the real deal. A sharp business owner that is so generous and in integrity about what she is offering. I’ve asked her SO many questions in planning my event and she’s been nothing but helpful. - US retreat leader (June 2023) and HTH guest Jan 2022
I cannot thank you enough for all of your help and assistance leading up to and including our stay at Casa Fuzetta. The celebration week went flawlessly and your home is just spectacular! It was the perfect setting for my friends and family to gather, celebrate and just have fun! The word that almost everyone used was what a MAGICAL place Casa Fuzetta is and how perfect it was for the celebration! The memories we made there will never be forgotten… And we have the photos and videos to prove it! It was truly a trip of a lifetime and your home was the platform for making it so special. My guests and I are all well traveled individuals and …some of us work in the hospitality world (I was an Event Director for 15 years ) ~ your home, the house staff and Olhao was absolutely beyond our wildest dreams and expectation! - US host, October 2022
Pure and utter heaven! You’ve got something so very very special there and the time, thought and love that has gone into Casa Fuzetta radiates out of every corner of the property! Will be dreaming of it for many nights to come… - UK retreat leader, April 2022
My face got the most work, from all the laughter! What a […] fabulous way to start the year! - Heal the Healers retreat guest, January 2022
Casa Fuzetta is simply a fairtytale. From the second you walk in, you’ll find yourself in a magical space filled with exquisite beauty wherever you turn… - retreat guest, August 2019
