I attended a Pilates retreat at Tinakilly house hosted by Anne Sexton in January 2022. It was a very enjoyable weekend! The pilates classes along with the wellness talks and gorgeous lunch, dinner & breakfast were fantastic. I would highly recommend Anne’s classes and for anyone seeking a wellness retreat in Wicklow to get in touch with her.

The Pilates Retreat in Finca Monasteiro was such a great experience. It was a stunning hotel, with super healthy food and I met such lovely people. The Pilates was intensive but brilliantly taught by Anne in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Loved every minute and I would do it again. Thanks to all the team.

Thanks for the wonderful day on Saturday. I found it really informative and enjoyable, and have started doing some of the exercises everyday!!

I wanted to go on an Anne Sexton Pilates retreat to get a deeper understanding of Pilates. I greatly admire and enjoy Anne’s teaching skills, so the idea of 3 classes a day appealed to me. It exceeded my expectations. The venue, the sunshine, the classes, the food, and the company made the experience one of the best retreats I’ve ever been on. Thank you.

The Pilates retreat exceeded all expectations for me. The standard of Pilates coaching and guidance was excellent which gave each of us every opportunity to learn, develop and grow stronger. Beyond that the daily walk and relaxed atmosphere with great company in great surroundings was a tonic. The accommodation and food was fabulous, and I genuinely feel I will carry some new habits home with me. I’m looking forward to next year!

I have just returned from one of the most restorative weeks I have ever had. Every aspect of Anne’s retreat has been created with expertise and care and it far exceeded all my expectations. From the multiple Pilates classes, the food, the stunning venue, the informative talks and the incredible other people I met on it, words cannot convey what a gift this retreat is. Pure heaven.

The Anne Sexton Pilates Retreat at the beautiful Finca Monasterio was everything and more than I could have imagined. As a beginner in Pilates in a group of mixed levels Anne always managed to make sure everyone was reaching their potential. The many classes over the five days were varied, covering all ranges of movement and the benefit of completing them in such a joyful, tranquil setting is immeasurable. The stunning surrounds of the Finca Monasterio combined with the warmth and professionalism from all who contributed to this retreat, made it a break like no other. Thank you Anne, you have created the perfect getaway

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the retreat, but it far exceeded my expectations. The hotel, gardens & pool were absolutely charming, and the staff were always helpful and friendly. While some people arrived as friends, most of us travelled solo. By the end though, we were one laughing close knit group. The Pilates level of experience varied among participants, but Anne skilfully adapted the programme without anyone feeling left behind. Personally I feel my Pilates practice improved significantly, and I’m motivated to continue progressing. My ribs are just about recovering – not just from Pilates, but from all the laughing
