    Wonderful 3-hour experience! 🤩 We took a walk from the stables to Cala Violina, with a one-hour stop on the beach and then returned to the base. We had a lot of fun, and our guides (Alice and Valentina) were impeccable! 🫶🏻 They shared many anecdotes about the horses (which are very well cared for! 🥰 They are beautiful, well-trained, and diligent. If you're hesitant or afraid, don’t worry, you’ll be able to enjoy this unmissable experience with calm and amazement!), and they were kind, friendly, and very positive. You can immediately feel their love and passion for these animals and for their work. Highly recommended, definitely worth doing again! 🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (Special greetings to my greedy little horse Wendy🫠😍)

    Wonderful experience!!! As a near beginner with horseback riding, I can only say that it was a beautiful ride. The horses are very well cared for, and our guides gave us instructions and explained everything. It was an amazing day, with a breathtaking view of Cala Violina and water that was nothing short of crystal clear. I rode Stella. Laught, silence, sounds of nature, and respect... an experience shared with dear friends that I will carry in my heart! It was exactly what I needed!!! Thank you.
