Rural Retreat

Immersion in rural life away from the maddened crowd. What is it like to live in a village? It's simple - come and see how peacefully and harmoniously ordinary villagers live. No one is running anywhere, no one is in a hurry. Here, everything is clear to everyone. No one is waiting for you here - but everyone will be glad to see you.

Dates: July 15-19; October 6-10; November 24-28. 
The best period is April - June, August - October
