I spent last June with the better neighbors in Sinaia, Romania, and it turned out to be one of the most uplifting experiences of my year. The group was warm and open, the perfect size to really connect, and everyone shared something personal through workshops, talks, or fun activities. It created a feeling of togetherness that I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. Sinaia itself was the ideal setting, a peaceful mountain town surrounded by nature where it’s easy to relax, breathe, and slow down. Having free access to the amenities of a four-star hotel, from the indoor pool to the sauna and gym, added this gentle touch of comfort that made the days feel even more special. What truly made the experience stand out was how kind and supportive the team was. You could turn to them with anything and they always met you with genuine warmth. In the end, the retreat gave me so much more than I imagined, not only in terms of value but in inspiration, connection, and emotional recharge. I left with a full heart and would recommend the experience to anyone who needs a mix of community, calm, and nature.

Make yourself a gift and come to this really diverse retreat. The people are great and each one of them brings a unique touch to our gatherings. The place is really peaceful and relaxing, but you will never be bored with all the activities here. Definitely see you next time!

My second The Better Neighbors - this time in Romania, and once again I’m reminded why I keep coming back. The community, the people, the activities, and the energy make me feel inspired and productive. Already looking forward to the next one — and many more after that. ✨

I had a very pleasant experience. I really enjoyed the fun and relaxing activities, such as yoga, urban hikes, sound healing, and body balance workshops. I also loved the trips they organized—visiting the bear sanctuary to learn about bear abuse and exploring the castles were definite highlights.

I had an incredible time in a stunningly beautiful place. The experience was incredibly grounding, very relaxing yet surprisingly productive! The highlight was definitely feeling part of a wonderful community. The nature activities were amazing, but sharing them with such warm people made them unforgettable. It was the ideal blend of productivity and enjoying the outdoors.

It was an amazing experience where the group of people was great. We had a wonderful time exploring Sinaia, attending the workshops, building a small community and enjoying everyone’s company. Especially the artists and their inclusion is a very enriching experience and worth your while. The people from Better Neighbors and Hotel Sinaia were very helpful when we had some trouble, for example: we needed to receive some packages and had no problems at all. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who is willing.

It was an unexpectedly amazing experience meeting artists and digital nomads from around the world and exploring a new country together. I’d definitely recommend it if you’ve never had the chance.

Thank you Alejandra for organizing this wonderful retreat! I had such a great time, meeting new people, joining interesting courses and enjoying the wellness!

I loved the experience. It was my first time doing this type of retreat, and the energy from both the group and Aleja’s leadership was excellent.

The activities were a lot of fun, and everything felt very relaxed. All the group activities felt like they happened very genuinely.

The experience was very positive, I appreciated all the workshops, the yoga sessions, and especially the art ones. Everything was organized very smoothly, and I can say I was both very productive during the hours I had to work and also very entertained during my free time. The gym and spa were very appreciated, as also the restaurants where we had the discount. The group of people was very friendly and I believe everyone had a nice experience as I had. I would definitely go back for this retreat or a similar one!

Wonderful organization of wonderful people. Amazing conversations and experience! I wish to have opportunity to meet you again! Be blessed and successful!

It was a wonderful experience where I also met so many wonderful people. Sinaia is small but has so much to offer! Highly recommended 🥰

I’m so happy and grateful to find out about The Better Neighbors. It was a retreat like no other. The sense of community, possibilities to grow and learn about other participants lifestyles and different ways to be a digital nomad, all the art workshops, daily yoga classes, access to the spa and gym. Very inspiring time. Also big shoot out to Alejandra, to put this all together and make sure everything is planned till the last detail.

Throughout my entire stay, I felt incredibly well, welcomed, and comfortable. The environment was perfectly designed to balance wellness with focus, allowing me to be exceptionally productive. I highly recommend their retreats to anyone looking to recharge while getting meaningful work done.

Alejandra was a perfect organizer, the activities are well explained and everything is optional and up to you, nice discounts with restaurants. I definetely recommend and repeat.

Amazing experience, beautiful people, very good organization!

This was my first time joining the retreat, and it was such an incredible experience! Everyone is busy with work during the day, but doing the evening activities together made bonding so much more enjoyable. It felt like we became a big family in just a short amount of time. Plus, the accommodation was amazing, and being able to use the spa to relax was a huge bonus. A truly wonderful experience!

Sinaia is beautiful! All the venues and partners there are so nice and you don't lack anything during your stay there. The artists residencies are also so cool, because you get to meet local and international artists. That's such a great idea and unique concept! I enjoyed the almost daily yoga classes and trying new things in the workshops :)

Was my first time coliving experience and was marvelous!

I am so grateful to have been a part of this experience. I think the retreat was very well organised and planned, making everyone feel included and at ease. I loved that it was diverse, with a lot of options for activities, but also free time and room to propose other ideas on the go. The Timeraiser event was a great surprise and such a wonderful idea - it was the first time I heard of something like this and I congratulate you for the project - it's so important to also give back to the community in any way we can. I loved the location, Sinaia, a really nice small town, in the middle of nature, but also close to the capital city and ways of transportation. I loved all the activities and I think I've been to all of them, because I wanted to try them out and experience as much as possible. I also appreciated so much having the accommodation and food taken care of as member of the team (yoga instructor). The other facilities were a really good idea too: the spa and the gym, even though I haven't really used them as much, because I wanted to spend more time in nature, but I could see how important this was for other people present there. Alejandra was such a reliable person throughout all this experience, always there, on top of the organization side, but also the social part, trying to always include everyone. For me, the most important was the feeling I left with: rejuvenation and a reawakening of my creativity. Thank you so much!

I absolutely loved my experience with The Better Neighbors.

The location was beautiful, and everything was thoughtfully designed. The accommodation was peaceful, the spa was fantastic, and the coworking space was one of the best I’ve worked from—comfortable, inspiring, with a piano and a fully equipped kitchen. I also loved that there were partner cafés and restaurants with discounts, so you could easily work from different places whenever you wanted.

The program was excellent. There was always something interesting to join—workshops, activities, opportunities to meet people, learn something new, or simply recharge. At the same time, there was never any pressure to participate, so it was easy to stay focused on work whenever needed.

The people were amazing. It’s clear that the screening process works really well because everyone was open, interesting, and welcoming. I felt at home from the very first day, without that usual awkward adjustment period.

For me, this is the best way to explore a new country. Instead of being a tourist for a few days, you actually get to live there for several weeks, working, building connections, and experiencing everyday life. It gives you a much deeper understanding of the place than simply visiting attractions.

I’m really happy that communities like this exist. I would gladly recommend The Better Neighbors to any digital nomad, and I’m already looking forward to joining another retreat. I only hope there will be even more destinations in the future!
