Step away from the noise.
The Secret Reading Retreat is a quiet space where time slows and books, stillness, and connection take center stage.
There’s no schedule, no pressure:
Spend your days reading, resting, or walking in nature. Evenings bring candlelight, good wine, and the company of fellow readers.
You may leave with more books to read, but also with something quieter: a sense of ease, and the feeling of having truly come home to yourself.
That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.
Aphra Behn
Summer solace among the pines
Tucked away in the shaded hills of Cyprus, our June retreat invites you to begin your summer with stillness.
Think long afternoons beneath olive trees, quiet pages turning, and golden sunsets shared in the hush of kindred company.
Autumn whispers by the sea
As the island shifts into a softer rhythm, our October retreat in Cyprus offers a gentle farewell to summer.
Wrapped in sea breezes and stories, this is a time for reflection, warmth, and new beginnings hidden in the falling light.
High summer, hidden stories
In a sleepy village just outside Budapest, our July gathering is a midsummer dream for book lovers.
Surrounded by wildflowers and silence, this is a retreat for those who crave long mornings with literature and delicious wine at twilight.
The last light of summer
As the countryside quiets into autumn, our September retreat near Budapest becomes a haven for reflection.
With crisp air, garden harvests, and fireside pages, we welcome you to step into the new season with presence and purpose.
That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.
