I cannot over emphasise how wonderful this holiday was. The location is simply stunning whatever the weather.
Fabio was our instructor and we did the Western Ranch week so got lessons in the morning in the arena and then in the field with loads of obstacles to negotiate. We led horses and attempted herding horses. We also had the choice of hacking out in the afternoon for an extra cost which we took advantage of most days.
Fabio was a fantastic tutor - caring, kind but firm. I didn't gel with the first horse he chose for me, so it was swapped for another which was perfect for the rest of the week. The lecture he gave on the first morning was really helpful and interesting.
The other riding staff were lovely too. Always willing to show you how to tack up etc and make sure you were happy.
The villa staff - office, catering and cleaning; were so very friendly, smiley and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was clean, food was absolutely delicious although there was far too much - you need to pace yourself ha ha!
Plenty of space for relaxing either by the fire or in the large yoga room. My daughter and I also had a one hour massage which was wonderful and only 35 euros each - bargain!!
We were lucky to be with a fantastic group of people and had a lot of fun - even ending the week with some line dancing !
We would both strongly recommend this holiday and hope to return to Cornichinno in the future.
