Simon's Cultural Oasis was a dream for our writing retreat! Great artistic ambience, top of the line furnishings, and great high tech touches (heated toilet seats with built in bidet!) added so much luxury to our stay! The beds were comfortable (necessary for getting a great night'srest), the available food in the cupboard (which supplemented our own groceries and snacks), and even the family room downstairs (which we used for team working) really helped to make this a productive writing retreat! I will definitely be returning to finish future projects!
