In 2013 the property was also selected to feature in The Times Top 50 Villas in Europe (one of just 9 Greek villas included in the list). Travel editor Julia Brookes wrote:

"If you have a budding novelist in the family, newly built Dolphin's Leap has a writer's retreat to go with its six bedrooms, all with superb sea views."

 

 

The property was also selected for inclusion in The Times "20 Great Greek Getaways" in October 2013. Travel editor James Ellis wrote:

"Set in the foothills of Mount Pelion, Dolphin’s Leap takes its name from the regular spotting of dolphins in the gulf surrounding the tiny hamlet of Lefokastro below. A highlight of the villa is a gorgeous stone verandah with saltwater infinity pool."

 

 

Guest Reviews

"Outstandingly brilliant. Easily the best holiday I have ever been on; I have already booked in for next year." LM

"The location was breath-taking - the proximity to the sea, in such a peaceful and secluded area. The yoga teacher was superb and the yoga platform, perched above the sea, was sublime. The reflexology and massage treatment with a local Greek 'healer', Iannis, was the best I had had in many years." JN

"I went to Greece on a yoga retreat and the most inspiring part was the view, on a hillside overlooking the sea with a specially made yoga terrace, totally tranquil and just a few steps down to a platform where we could jump into the sea! Heaven. It was an absolutely fabulous holiday, everything and more than expected. The level of yoga teaching was exemplary." CW

"The best thing about the DL Yoga Retreat was the overall atmosphere and 'vibe' you and Nick have created. The house, location and yoga was idyllic and Molly an absolute fantastic teacher. The food was wonderful, absolutely delicious." EKM

"I loved that very very special place. I dream of it often, walking down the street, sitting on the tube, being back in the studio...... The view, the smells, the sounds. It really was incredible. You totally feel like you are at the end of the world. Uninterrupted and in a bubble of peace! Five stars from me!" CS

"Thank you both so much a most magical stay at your enchanting Dolphins Leap retreat. You've created a very special place, a place that rarely appears throughout life, in its beauty and tranquility. Totally unspoiled and the perfect place to take oneself off and just 'be'. My week was totally memorable and I'll be back next year!" SH
