Luxurious Hotel Accommodation.

We use the comfortable and well-appointed beach front hotel Adiafa for our accommodation. The hotel is excellent, and being family run is very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is located only 50 metres from the sea front, and has spacious twin-bedded rooms with on-suite bathroom. The hotel is fully air-conditioned and has free wi-fi internet connection. Solo travellers are allocated their own bedroom and guests travelling together are allocated shared bedrooms.

 

Friendly, Welcoming Groups.

Our full board horse riding vacations are ideal for both single and group bookings. The groups are kept small and create a great friendly atmosphere. You will meet like-minded people and have new friends by the end of the holiday. The rides are led by ourselves, Steve and Caroline, and the maximum group size is kept to six. Our aim is to provide a value for money all-inclusive horse riding vacation that is a dream come true. All your needs will be well taken care of so that you can enjoy a stress-free holiday.
