ART STAY Modique is located in the center of Nadur, directly adjacent to my ArTELIER (art studio). I myself live 2 streets away and am easily accessible. The guest room TAN-NASPLA was adapted to the theme of the woolen misple tree and TAT-TIN of the fig tree. Both rooms are accessible by a spiral staircase and are connected to the roof terrace, my cactus garden, by a walkable glass floor (covered with a carpet). The eat-in kitchen has an olive tree theme and is equipped with everything you need for cooking.

The week on Gozo exceeded my expectations and was wonderful. Hermione is a fantastic hostess and was always friendly, open and approachable. The program is varied and great fun. We visited special places and had special experiences.

The retreat at Hermine's was simply indescribably beautiful! The small guest house offers new artistic, loving discoveries every day and there was absolutely nothing missing. We were two - previously strangers - guests and had super nice, full days with Hermine for three and sometimes four (with dog Spot :-)) I can't say what I liked best because I really wouldn't have wanted to miss a single second. The whole program was just great, from having breakfast on the roof terrace, meditating in caves, drawing by the sea to stargazing in the field. I don't want to tell you any more! Once again, a huge thank you to Hermine!

A dreamlike week - vacation for all senses on Gozo - at and with Hermine. The small "Modique Hotel": unique in every respect. A lovingly restored old building with incredibly many charming details. The retreat program: so colorful, so diverse, so stimulating, so delicious, so relaxing, so unique. It can't really be put into words, you have to experience it yourself. Hermine, hostess at the hotel and leader/guide of the retreat: a very special, unique woman and artist who accompanied, guided and cared for me during this week. Starting with breakfast with eggs from our own chickens, homemade jam and granola balls or fruit puree.... about the day, each day dedicated to a sense, with relaxing and creative parts, plus little stories around the island, to the barbecue on the roof terrace or creative sessions and meals on their rural property, and so much more - all really dreamlike.
