Chris & Lisa operate a working olive grove and have sustainable land management practices in place e.g. recycling of waste & water, composting food scraps, mulching, and the limited use of chemicals both inside the Retreat and on the property.

Chris & Lisa's personal lives also need to be managed sustainably. This can be by making decisions that will help sustain their immediate surroundings and environment and by managing their emotional and physical well-being. Chris & Lisa take time out for themselves so that they can travel together, as well as working on their individual pursuits outside of the hospitality industry. Lisa enjoys going hiking, horseback riding and spending time ‘leisure reading’.

Chris gets away on overnight hiking excursions with friends. This renews the commitment and vision they have to provide their guests with a high-end standard of comfort while showcasing their property as a living example of sustainable management.
