Sing Eat Retreat Reviews 105

I entered this retreat so excited to learn new things about singing, about myself and to meet new people.
I really thought I couldn’t sing but left confident, that now I understand technique and MY own voice, I actually can.
I don’t read music ( still don’t) It doesn’t matter! I was a total novice in recognising types of voice, pitch, notes and harmonies- not now!
Ben Mann and Patrick D’Arcy,our top London, vocal coaches were so passionate about their craft and taught us in such a relatable way, explaining technique and demonstrating it every step of the way.
Danny Vaughan, front man, from an international rock band, also joined to mentor us. His expertise in singing live performing and musicality were invaluable. He played guitar for my live performance - which will always be so special to me🙏🏻
It’s true to say the weather was not good. There may have been rain outside but the sun was certainly shining in those rehearsal rooms. The villa and it’s grounds are stunning and so tranquil. The rooms luxurious and comfortable. The food, prepared and home cooked by Zane, Cat and the team was always so delicious and never ending!
Their care and dedication to giving everyone this Sing Eat Retreat experience was outstanding from planning to delivery.
The icing on this cake though, is that I met fantastic people and made life long friends.
It was fun, belly laughing, sometimes, emotional FUN. We were all dedicated but we laughed and laughed all week.
It really was wonderful and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat .

Never having been on a singing holiday before, the care and attention, let alone the professionalism of the tutors and staff, led to an inspirational break from my humdrum life

I have just finished coaching on the SingEat Retreat - Queen week. The venue is breathtaking - you won’t find a better setting. A very rewarding week coaching the guests, who now, I hope, will become friends. Special mention to Cat, who is outstanding - liaising between guests and tutors to ensure the week runs as smoothly as possible. Bravo Zane! Please can you plate me up some of that Paella and send it to the UK asap….. Gracias x

Superbly organised, great communication before and during the trip. Cat and Zane thought of everything even down to booking an optional (wonderful) massage during our week. Zane and his team produced delicious food from morning 'til night. Snacks and drinks were freely available all day. The villa is indescribably beautiful. The accommodation is perfect with gorgeous rooms, breathtaking views and so peaceful. Weather wasn't great during our stay but we did manage lunch outside a couple of times. This didn't impact our enjoyment because the business of singing kept us pleasantly busy but with plenty of time to socialise, rest or practise. There was a relaxed open mike session every evening which was entirely just for fun and always a good laugh.
Our tutors were out of this world. Ben and Patrick are West End pro's but were so supportive of us amateurs. They coached us tirelessly which was a totally inspiring and unique privilege for us! We also worked with Danny an international rock star who has an incredible voice, is a truly nice guy and gave us some invaluable feedback.
Our 6 days culminated in a flash mob and concert at a local restaurant. There was a huge sense of camaraderie, excitement and it was brilliant having an end goal after the efforts of the whole team.
So sad to leave as I have made some great friends in the space of just a few days. Highly recommend this trip if singing is something that makes you happy!

This second Sing, Eat and Retreat experience (this time, The Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber) even exceeded the experience of the first! The formula of bringing together a disparate group of singers of various ages, singing experience, and preferred/usual genres, with immensely talented West End coaches and stars is inspired! Learning and laughter went hand-in-hand as we sang and stumbled our way through a range of songs, including the syncopated 'Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats' - which were delivered to pretty surprised audiences at the Flash Mob and the short concert. Thanks to all who brought us expertly, wittily - and safely - through this fabulous week.

Genuinely one the best things I have ever done. I can't say enough good things about this retreat it surpassed all my expectations. The tutors were exceptional and supported everyone, regardless of singing ability, to achieve live performances by the end of the week.

And the food ! Just wow, restaurant quality every meal.

Thanks to the logistics team for an absolutely flawless experience, I will definitely be back!

Truly one of the best weeks of my life! Superb venue, fabulous food and professional expertise and encouragement that helped me do things I never thought Id do at my stage of life! Oh....and great fun! Do it you won't regret it.

Had a great week. Excellent food and wonderful vocal coaches. really enjoyed the flash mob experience.

Sing Eat Retreat! What a fabulous week!
Wonderful location, the villa was beautiful and very welcoming with a picture postcard view that changed from sunrise to sunset. Stunning.
Excellent food that catered for all tastes yet offered local flavours.
We sang our hearts out! Great professional team guiding us and offering expert tuition.
A week to remember… and definitely to repeat!

The week at SingEatRetreat far exceeded my expectations. The location was stunning, the villa was wonderful andthe food was to die for! The singing was fantastic and I learned so much! I loved the flash mob and the concert. The singing coaches were so knowledgeable and encouraging, I couldn’t help but improve. The support staff were wonderful too and made the stay all the more enjoyable. I can’t recommend this enough!

Beautiful Villa, personal service, excellent vocal coaches and food to die for. Fantastic holiday.

SER is the best holiday experience I have ever had. The location alone was paradise. The food alone would of made the holiday outstanding. Anyone of the three coaches would of been more than enough for an amazing musical transformation.
All of the SER staff surpassed any kind of hospitality experience I have ever encountered. This is the greatest retreat ever!
