Frequently Asked Questions 

Is Villa O a Spa?

Although we can provide some spa treatments, we are not a Health Spa. We do like you to feel good and look good of course, but our therapies work on a deeper level and bring health and beauty from the inside out.

We do have a sauna for our guests and the swimming pool of course, and if desired, we can invite massage therapists. If there are multiple people that would like to get a massage, this is possible. These costs are to be covered with the therapist individually and are not included in the Villa O package.

Are you restricted in your liberties during your stay at Villa O?

Absolutely not! Everybody has heard horror stories about detox retreats, but at Villa O, this is far from the truth. At Villa O, you are never “forced” to do anything and you always have the liberty of choice. Furthermore, we understand that some habits are hard to let go of and that taking small steps at a time can be very successful.

From our perspective, we love to inform and support you in your health and healing. But it is you after all that will take responsibility in changing lifestyle. Therefore, you cannot be restricted in any way. So we will not take away your phone, you can go outside whenever you want and we do have a television if you desire. There is no judgment or evaluation.

However, since guest decide to invest in your health, we will welcome and prefer the healthy habits of course.

What does an average day look like while staying at Villa O?

Our philosophy is that improving your health or detoxing does not have to be boring, strict or difficult, and this is what we actively promote.

First of all, we want you to know that you are free to wake up and get up at the time that you want to. When people come to stay at Villa O, they tend to catch up on sleep, especially when they are staying for a detox week. Our bio beds are very comfortable and the beautiful energy in the house makes people want to sleep in.

Of course, when you want to get up early, that is also possible. A healthy breakfast will be waiting for you at the breakfast buffet. This consists of several steps in order to get you started on the right foot.

After breakfast, we will support you in doing the different therapies we offer: Red Light Therapy, Pulsing ElectroMagnetic Fields and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Some of these, you can do twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.

You will also get a session of bioresonance when you stay a weekend. When you stay a whole week, we will do 2 sessions, one at the beginning and one at the end. This way, guests are able to see the difference and the progress that was made. This is a one-hour personal session in which your health status is explored and improved.

At noon, a healthy lunch will be served, which you can enjoy individually or together with other guests. During the summer period. Lunches can be served outside on the terrace depending on the weather.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy the swimming pool (April until October) and soak up some sun on a tanning bed. We also have a library full of inspiring books about health, food and spirituality where guests are free to take books to read. On the second floor, there is also an indoor sauna available in the bathroom. Many of our guests also enjoy a daily walk in nature. The region is full of beautiful forests and contains more than 180km of walking routes.

Throughout the day, we will regularly bring refreshments and we are always approachable for information or inspiration. We are happy to explain how we do things and share our knowledge with guests.

In the evening, after a healthy apéro, a gastronomic dinner is served in the dining room. All guests and hosts dine together and share knowledge and ideas.

Afterwards, guests can relax or enjoy a detoxing footbath and the other therapies (Red Light Therapy, Pulsing ElectroMagnetic Fields). Before turning in, detoxing drinks and a soothing ayurvedic spice milk (vegan) are served.

When guests go home, they leave with a personal toolbox full of healthy habits that they can include in their lifestyles.

.

What will happen after your stay at Villa O?

Many guests give us feedback after they returned home and we love to hear from them. They tell us about improvements in their health and lifestyle and get in touch with us, sometimes months after their stay.

This is why we strive to make your stay with us interesting and inspiring. We, as the hosts, both have been investing in knowledge about health and food for more than 30 years and we have seen many challenges. We work with our clients on a personal level and teach them new skills to improve their day-to-day lives. In many cases, these new habits are not difficult at all to incorporate and have big and immediate results.

This is why you will receive a Villa O journal upon arrival. Guests take this with them all day to make notes on how they feel or what they have learned.

.

Will other guests hear about my health challenges?

Certainly not. At Villa O, we work on a personal level. Even though there are many issues that are very common, we will always address your personal situation only with you. If desired, your partner or family members can of course be included in your case.

On the other hand, there are a number of lifestyle changes that can be beneficial for everyone, like fermentation or meditation, and they can be taught in small groups.

.

Can I privatize Villa O for my event or retreat?

This is possible for small groups. We have 8 double bedrooms available, so guests could also stay. We can provide any service you desire next to that and in the summer, we can organize events in the garden. For more information, please send us a message with what you would like.
