Writing courses: guests' comments

"I enjoyed my time at the Watermill very much;  the ambiance there was excellent, the facilities were very very good and the food was delicious.  The staff, shepherded by the beautiful and enigmatic Kerstin, did an excellent job.  Thank you for the experience."  

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for last week. It was really one of the best weeks I've experienced in a long time! Lovely, lovely place and a great course - and I got so much writing done! Lovely group too - we had so many laughs."

"I had an amazing time and am sorely tempted to come back next year...but I just want to take a second to rave about Sharon. The course was absolutely fantastic, with Sharon setting the tone right from the beginning for an interactive learning environment that was one of the most fun things I've ever done. It was both challenging and rewarding. We all took Sharon's cue and bonded with the amazing group of women who were there. I can't imagine not having done the course. By the way, I sent my mother-in-law a postcard and re: the painting holidays...she would love it."

"It was a wonderful week with Sharon, and Kerstin made everything perfect. No doubt I will be back again, and certainly always recommending and passing on details."

"Thank you, Kerstin, for taking such care of us. Having had a good number of guests stay with me for long periods, I very much appreciate the effort! From the first cup of coffee early in the morning, down to the camomile in the evening, all was there! The meals were great, the rooms were perfect, and I'm sure the fact there was such a great group coherence in so short time could be put down to not having to worry about anything. We knew you were there trying to let us have a great time!"

"What I like about the Watermill is the feeling of absolute severance from the outside world."

"My writing course at the watermill was so much more than I expected it to be: it was not only inspiring but amazingly relaxing - great hospitality and lovely food meant that we students were able to concentrate on our writing. I enjoyed it so much I am going back next year."

"We had a fantastic time at the mill - the setting was perfect, we were well looked after and the food was great. Sharon really knows what she's talking about, having written more than 60 books in her career as a Mills & Boon author"

"As a newly published author, attending the writing course at the Watermill at Posara was not just one dream trip for me, but three dream trips rolled in a single week! I gained a better understanding of my own writing process, had a "girls' week away" with other writers who quickly became friends, and had a fabulous reason to visit Tuscany. I would recommend the writing course at the Watermill to anyone who wants to improve her writing skills, see a bit of Italy and have a lot of fun!"

"It really is such a wonderful place. I can't imagine anywhere more peaceful. So thanks to the team in Italy who made the stay so relaxing and I look forward to seeing them again."

"We had a fantastic time at The Watermill at Posara. Sharon is an enthusiastic tutor who really encourages and brings out the best in her students...the location is of outstanding beauty...and the food is out of this world."

"I had a wonderful time at the Watermill - it exceeded my expectations. Kerstin and Mirella and Paolo were all wonderful. Kerstin managed to organise us all seamlessly! The food was wonderful - particularly the meals in the Watermill. The peaceful and beautiful location meant that it was one of the most relaxing weeks I've ever had - if not the most relaxing. And the experience of being in a group with 10 like-minded and interesting women was great. We've even started a Yahoo group to keep in touch! The course was fab and delivered exactly what I expected and, best of all, it was great fun!"

"For me, my stay at the watermill has always been perfect. How can you improve on perfection? That is why I am looking forward to my fourth visit next May, which will hopefully not be my last!"
