The trip of a lifetime. Tania is an expert local guide as well as group leader. Cannot recommend this experience enough.

Tania always organizes a great trip that is balanced between cultural experiences and down time. We met some great people, made lots of art, saw interesting sites, and ate fabulous food. I would go on a trip with Tania again.

I visited the Somos casa with my 10 year-old daughter for a week and we had a wonderful time. Tania really has thought of everything to make it a relaxing vacation for moms. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and it was wonderful having Rosa cook some of our meals for us. My daughter enjoyed hanging out with Lolita, even though we didn't need her to babysit very much, since we spent a lot of time exploring Oaxaca. Adriana took us on some fun day trips and we ate lots of yummy food. We didn't get to use the pool since it was too cold. My only suggestions for improvement would be to somehow get a bit more water pressure in the shower (it wasn't much more than a drip), a dresser in the room for clothes, and perhaps a luggage rack for the suitcases. We were also the only guests at the casa during the week, so I can't really speak to what it would be like to share the space with lots of other people.

Our 5th visit to Oaxaca and Somos Retreats was AmAzInG! From the familiar rhythm of the week - Sunday massage, city excursions, longer distance excursion, Rosa’s delicious cooking, wonderful nannies with the kids, and the ability to go out to dinner… To new and exciting additions - a new destination with an amazing view, getting to the city by bus like the locals, a visit to the botanical gardens and new Michelin star restaurants to try… And as always - Tania’s magical touch in coordinating, helping, and hosting a retreat that truly feels like home away from home!

This was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. Usually, especially with a toddler, I go on vacation and often come back feeling like I need another vacation. Not this time! I had a perfect mix of time to myself and out and about while also experiencing new things with my son. Tania was so organized with the week, the casa was so comfy and beautiful, and the staff (Rosa, Lolita, and Margarita) were so patient and attentive to my son. I will definitely be back again and look forward to more retreats with Tania and her team!
