About this Retreat
My name is Patrick (42). Three years ago, I left the Netherlands for Spain in search of more space, calm, and a different way of living.
After my student years in Tilburg, I moved to Amsterdam, where I worked as a sales manager at a startup. In 2016, we successfully sold the company to an American-Canadian firm, and I stayed on for two more years. Professionally things were going well, but personally I struggled with addiction. After two clinical admissions, I knew in 2021 that something had to change.
I took a sabbatical and spent a year living near the forests of Amerongen. That period became the foundation of my recovery. It showed me how powerful your environment can be when you’re trying to rebuild your life.
Not long after, I moved to Spain and found Villa Torrent, a small countryside property near Valencia. I started over here with my dog Guus. Today there are three dogs and eight chickens, and a slower, more grounded way of life.
Through daily walks, simple routines, healthy food, and time in nature, I discovered what truly supports my recovery. Villa Torrent became my home, and gradually it also became a place where others could come to slow down and reset.
The property includes my house and several small guest cottages. Over time, I began hosting small retreats and groups. What stood out to me was how quickly people found peace here—not through strict programs, but through nature, simplicity, and genuine connection.
That experience led to the creation of Sober Retreats Valencia: a small, supportive place for people in recovery who need space, structure, and a change of environment.
I’m not a therapist or a clinic. I’m a host who shares a place and a rhythm of life that helped me rebuild my own.

Details of this retreat
Recovery isn’t always a straight line.
Sometimes you need structure. Sometimes clarity. And sometimes simply a place where you can slow down and be yourself — without judgement.
Villa Torrent is a small countryside retreat near Valencia, created for people living alcohol-free and for those who want to reconnect with a calmer, healthier rhythm away from noise, pressure, and daily overstimulation.
No large groups, no strict programmes, and no pressure to “fix yourself.”
Instead, you’ll find nature, simple routines, nourishing food, and a small group environment where people feel safe and understood.
This retreat can suit different stages of a sober lifestyle
Early sober living
If you’ve recently stopped drinking and are looking for calm, supportive structure, this retreat offers space to build healthy routines in a non-clinical environment.
Longer-term alcohol-free living
If your battery feels empty, this retreat offers space to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend time with like-minded people — without needing to explain everything.
After a difficult period
Not as punishment, but as a fresh start. Step out of your usual environment and return to the basics: sleep, movement, nature, simple food, and clarity.
Reflection & maintenance
Living sober also needs moments of pause. This retreat offers time for reflection, renewed energy, and gentle structure.
What a typical day looks like
Days at Villa Torrent are simple, flexible, and grounded in nature.
Quiet mornings or an optional walk with the dogs
Healthy breakfast together
Daily scenic walk or light hike in nature
Shared home-cooked lunch
Free time to rest, read, or relax by the pool
Yoga, fitness, or meditation sessions (several times per week)
Optional reflection or sharing moments
Relaxed evenings and simple dinners together
On some days, we also organise:
Beach walks by the Mediterranean
A visit to Valencia city with tapas lunch
A day trip to the waterfalls of Anna
Everything is optional. Joining is welcome — resting is too.
The group is small (maximum five guests), creating a calm and personal atmosphere where you can truly slow down and reset.
If you’re unsure whether this retreat fits your situation, just send a message.
We’ll look at it together — honest, simple, and without pressure.
