Terms of Booking

Accommodation details:

A Place To Be Well -La Roane- can accommodate a maximum of 18 participants. Our season currently
runs from March to November (plans to expand this are in the making though, so don’t hesitate to ask!)

La Roane has two houses for guests – The Main House and the Barn (where the yoga studio is). Both
have double and twin bedrooms. The double rooms (used for one person or a couple) and twins (two
beds for two people) all have access to shared bathrooms. There are a few private bedrooms with
ensuite bathrooms. We also have a treehouse and a yurt in the forest (with an outdoor toilet and
shower) perfect for stargazing and falling asleep to the sounds of owls.

During the summer months, our natural pool is a popular gathering place. In colder months, our sauna
may be more your thing. Why not a dip in the cold after a hot sauna? We provide you with towels.

We have a no shoes indoors policy and kindly request that all guests bring indoor shoes/ slippers (we
can provide some if you forget yours) or just wear socks or go barefoot in the summertime. The
outdoor shoes have a special parking place.

The larger of the two houses is the “main house” and it holds a professional kitchen and terraces where
the guests have their meals. Our chefs prepare amazing vegetarian dishes that will delight your eyes
and nourish your soul. The groups eat together and all meals are included in the fee. You are free to
help yourself to fruit, biscuits, coffee or tea throughout the day.

As a leader or retreat facilitator, your stay is completely free on condition that you bring a minimum of
10 paying guests.

Extras, additional services and equipment (these are charged separately):

We love supporting the local community and the well-known Sunday market in St Antonin is a must
see. Any goods you purchase there, of course, are at your own expense.
Most retreat guests request to have massages during their stay. Our local masseuses are talented and
very sought after. You are sure to feel incredible after one of their treatments. The nearby Aveyron river
is a gem for swimming as well as kayaking/ canoeing trips. These trips can be organized by us and
your group pays the canoeing company directly. Should you have any requirements of supplies during
your stay, please contact us directly so we can see how we can help.

We have chickens and a dog so please do not bring your pet!
Our furry friend, Pako, our loveable Anatolian shepherd mix, stays mostly in and around our house.
He’s a protector but also not so keen on letting people who love him leave him. So you can pet him
ONLY if you have permission from us first, please.

Arrivals and departures:

On the first day of your event, we recommend arrivals from 2 pm onwards, although we can
accommodate flexibility as needed. Please make inquiries, there may be additional costs. Many hosts/
teachers prefer to arrive on the day prior to the participants in order to prepare. Just ask!
On the final day, we recommend leaving after breakfast, but understand that travel plans vary, and we
are flexible regarding departure times.

Logistical planning on the first and last days can be difficult.

We will organize one or two pickups on the first and last days for free from Caussade train station (15
minutes away) depending on the participants’ arrival and departure times. It’s therefore essential that
we get everyone’s times in advance. Retreat participants needing pick up service from Toulouse
airport, please let us know in advance too as we will need time to organize these. The fee for an airport
pickup is at your charge. Why not think about sharing a ride with other participants for cheaper fare
and living more sustainably?

Terms of payment:

To confirm your booking and reserve the dates, we require an initial deposit of 30% of the total booking
cost. The remaining balance shall be paid 6 weeks before the start of your event.

In the event that you wish us to take care of all the administration for booking your event (taking in all
the participants’ fees and organizing directly with every participant) please let us know. There is a fee
for this service and we are happy to communicate this with you during our discovery call. Participants
will be asked to pay a non-refundable reservation fee.

Terms of cancellation:

If you are a retreat leader/ teacher and you need to cancel a reservation, please give us as much
advance notice as possible so that we can offer the space to another instructor.
We invite you to postpone your retreat instead of cancelling it.
100% deposit refund for cancellation 90+ days prior to retreat start date.
50% deposit refund for cancellation between 60 and 89 days prior to retreat start date.
No deposit refund for cancellation less than 60 days prior to retreat start date.
If you are a retreat participant and you need to cancel, let us know at least 4 weeks prior to the start
date of your retreat/ course to get a full refund (apart from the non-refundable booking fee).
Cancellations received after this date do not allow for any refunds.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions pdf document for other conditions related to travel and booking of our retreat center. If you do not have this document, please do not hesitate to ask!
