Thanks for your feedback, Prachi, and for joining us on the 2024 retreat. Marina & I are pleased you enjoyed the accommodation, food, travel and overall hosting experience — creating a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere is something we care deeply about.

I also appreciate your comments regarding the crochet element. One of the core values behind all of my retreats is ensuring that everyone feels included and able to enjoy the projects, regardless of their crochet experience or confidence level. Creating a space where nobody feels intimidated or left behind is incredibly important to me, and balancing this across mixed abilities is challenging and something I work very hard to achieve.

For that reason, the retreats are designed as crochet retreats rather than serious crochet schools — a chance for people who love crochet to come together in a beautiful setting to relax, create, connect and enjoy shared experiences.

That said, I always listen to feedback, and since the 2024 retreat, the 2026 edition was extended by an additional day, with more dedicated crochet time at the villa alongside the excursions and travel experiences.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for being part of the retreat, Emma x
