A place to disconnect while connecting truly. Two loving people - Maria and Antje - that welcome you to their home and give you the space you need. A very clear programme is offered if you wish, and is adaptable to your needs. Maria is the most humble 'guide'. Her approach is so super respectful, leaving the openness for you to explore your own path...

If you are looking for a place to disconnect and to connect to your inner side and awareness, Little Paradise is THE place to go. The house t is very comfortable, and sorrounded by beautiful nature. You will really enjoy some days there.

Little Paradise is a truly beautiful place, even the time goes differently there... It was a magical experience for me. I love my stay there - the hosts made me feel at home, guided me on my meditation & spiritual path. This place will always have a space in my heart & I will try to keep new & deepened practices I started there in my future life! Highly recommended for both short and longer stays in any time of the year: slow yourself down, look deeper inside and enjoy the connection with all the majestic nature around!

Being in little paradise was a wonderful experience. The place is so beautiful and quiet that you can connect with nature and yourself in many ways, also the house is so beautiful, the meditation sessions are really good to connect deeply with yourself. Thank you for opening the doors of this beautiful place and for your kindness, I will carry in my heart all the experiences I lived there and all the lessons I learned from it.

Little Paradise amazed me by its gardens. The place is surrounded by happy nature and people around are nice. The meditation time made my experience unique and meaningful. It’s the perfect place to get rid of the stress and to have a real connection with yourself while you give your body and mind some rest. Can’t wait for the next time!

People. Maria and Anhkia were the friendliest people in the Germany. I can say just positive things about them. Guests. There come a special type of people: calm and developed in optional way. All the guests are friendly. It wasn't a time when we couldn't make friends among them. House. The house is clean, beautiful and surrounded with gorgeous view. The garden is like a live person – all is in harmony. Cats. They are fat. But lovely. Murets is my bestie. I wanted to come back to meditations and felt that this place can help me. Now I feel the silence inside which I've lost. Thank you

As the other reviewers have said: this is a great place. Guided meditations in the morning and evening for new meditators and experienced ones. Well stocked kitchen to cook in Close to the bus stop and within the Hamburg network. Cats to pet should they permit you to. Views to the nearby lake with bird sanctuary Great selection of spiritual books in German and some in English also.

The location is amazing, in the middle of a very quiet village, surrounded with forests and lakes, with many nice places to walk through and enjoy the nature. Everyone in the house is very nice, it is made sure of that the guests feel comfortable, relaxed and at home. The cats who live in the house are also very friendly and beautiful, and enjoy interacting with the guests. The house itself is quiet, clean and very comfortable, also a garden is available. On the property there are all the places you might need for a profound experience: meditation room, places to connect with nature, etc. The rooms themselves are also very welcoming. Regarding the program, Maria suggests a retreat timetable, which one does not have to follow, but personally I found it very helpful. One can also always ask her for additional talks and guidance and she is always happy to help. I think this retreat is a great place to find whatever one is looking for. I enjoyed my stay immensely and will certainly recommend the little paradise.

The best thing about Little Paradise is not the clean and comfortable rooms; nor the beautiful, secluded garden; or even the kind owners who are always willing to help, although these attributes will all ensure a very pleasant stay. The best thing about Little Paradise is the peace it can wrap you in: it is a space for silence, meditation, and contemplation. You will have an excellent nights sleep, and not only because the beds are comfortable, but because of the resounding peaceful atmosphere here. This guest house is truly unique and exceptional for this reason, and I highly recommend any person seeking some inner-peace, or space for deeper meditation, to stay here.

Little Paradise truly lives up to its name. It is indeed a Paradise - a place where you can feel the nature all around, yet it is not far from Germany's second largest city. If you like a quiet and peaceful place, but it should still be easily accessible, this is the place. You can just step out of the house and are immediately in a nature reserve area. The walking / cycling trails lead through the surrounding fields, small neighbourhoods, forest and to the nearby lakes. The house and especially the community areas, such as the kitchen & garden, as well as the meditation room offer a great atmosphere to disconnect. You can just be.

Definitely a place I would visit AGAIN AND AGAIN in my entire life. The natural reserve region provides rich ecology, with pleasing view of lake, sunshine and starry night in the garden, four lovely cats, two brilliant hosts...Little Paradise is just like an independent and isolated time space in this civilized and complex world. Having spent 2 weeks here, I would say the best experience is always beyond words. You don't need to find peace, peace finds you here:)

I stayed in Little Paradise for a two weeks, so I got to know all its corners. I do not want to extend much, because there are others who do. The only thing you need to know is that the property is located in an almost unbeatable environment and there is a lake you can see through the windows. The house is spacious, very clean, surrounded by fruit trees, plants and flowers. I think Little Paradise is the perfect name to describe it. It is the ideal environment to breathe and find oneself.

Little Paradise is an amazing place and I enjoyed a lot my 3 weeks in this beautiful house. Expect stillness and silence, but also very nice people and interesting discussions. The garden and surroundings are beautiful, many walks or biking trips are possible. Thank you again, Maria and Antje !

I had a wonderful experience staying at Little Paradise. The location was great and I slept better than I have most nights recently. The meditation room is a great space to take some time to work on self improvement, and the area is beautiful and comfortable. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables in the kitchen and the house had the best hosts!

This small retreat center is a true gem. If you are in the area around Hamburg and are looking for peace and tranquility, this is the place you want to stay at. And now, sharing from my personal experience, being there for 3 weeks was very nourishing for the soul, recharged my batteries and got clear answers to what was necessary to be answered. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating, making sure you have everything you need. They have really nice and cosy rooms, a big meditation room with a special calm and soothing energy, a beautiful garden, and the area has lots to offer in terms of natural beauty and wildlife. A place that i can recommend from the bottom of my heart !

A lovely guest house in the heart of German countryside close to hamburg. Stayed in little paradise as a helper for 4 night with 2 friends. Spacious house with clean rooms and a big kitchen. And a lovely garden with views of the lake. Maria was a great host for me and my friends. Many thanks for the room. Thanks

Little Paradise is a serene place. Choose to stay here if you wish to take time for yourself and reconnect. It is perfectly fine for persons who are new to meditation or those who have already practiced it. My stay here was very enjoyable. I was fortunate to have the Seeblick room, from where I could admire the beauty of the landscape. The concept of the retreat is simple, focused on meditation and connection with nature and with oneself. The aim is to make you feel at home, therefore expect freedom and autonomy. I spent 7 days there and felt I should have booked two weeks. The time passed very quickly. I recommend it as a personal escape for deep reconnection.

Beautiful rustic guesthouse in a green and peaceful location 30 minutes from from Hamburg city. Amazing place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the quiet-time & relaxation offered by the house, host, and surrounding nature. Rooms are simple yet stylish; warm and clean, with comfy beds, large windows ample space to sit and relax as a group or to do some yoga or indoor exercises. Access to the rest of the house includes option to join morning & evening group meditation sessions in the beautiful communal meditation/relaxation room that offers an amazing view of the garden and bird sanctuary beyond by day, and a large cosy open fireplace by night. The forest and lakes nearby offer lovely spots to walk and enjoy nature. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to enjoy some nourishing quiet time!

For about a month, until Dec / 15/2019, I have the pleasure of serving as a volunteer at Little Paradise. Maria (the founder and header of Little Paradise) and Antje (responsible for operational administration) are both kind-hearted and very attached to the universal creative power. And the cats there, every once having it's own personality, are so amazing. They will reveal a lot about ourselves. It's great. At Little Paradise ones cans experience, how fine it is to be self, to express their needs, to speak the truth inside the heart and to be heard with patience. Everyone are wellcome and accepted as they are, and can feels free to make a journey to ones deepest potentials. Ones can feels here how easy it is to (re)connect with the Inner, the Outer, the Higher and Deeper Source through intense meditation and retreat. Thanks so much for the great experience. Best regards.

Little Paradise offers a place of calm in which to unwind and take time with nature and finding one's center. The house and the grounds provide a peaceful setting in which one can pause and reflect, engage in meditation practice alone or with others, and enjoy the wonders of nature. I hope to return to this wonderful place someday.

My husband and I like this place so much, that we stayed here twice. It is quiet and peacefull. Very good atmosphere for meditation and to establish contact with nature. The host Maria is welcoming and helpful. The house is clean, tighdy and bright. Hamburg is easy to reach, so one can make a day tour there.

I stayed a month in Little Paradise and i had a wonderful time there ! It's a lovely house with a beautiful and clean ;) garden ! And there is nature all around , lakes and forests. Very happy i met Maria, Antje and all creatures in and around the house. Thank you again !

this is a lovely place where you could recharge yourself with strengths, clarity and spirit. I truly enjoyed watching the sunset in the garden, or relax with a book under the apple tree. There is so much more you could explore and discover in the surroundings of the house. Will highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a peaceful retreat holiday or simply a break from city life.

The best part can't be put into words. The place is perfect if you like silence and nature. Nobody is going to disturb you and everyone is open for a talk. Bautiful landscapes with forests and lakes. There was a relaxing smell of incense burning every morning.

Incredibly beautiful place with a refreshing picturesque landscape. The people, place, practices encourage deeper awareness, compassion and serve as an invitation to reflect. It is a safe, friendly, nurturing space.

The place is really beautiful and clean! Great place to relax, to stay in contact with nature, to find peace and silence, also is a great place to meditate! Maria is kind and willing to help you to everything.

Lovely hosts, lovely place. With a schedule to follow if you want, plus personal guidance I can highly recommend to visit this place. Thanks!

For our first retreat in August 2022 we found Little Paradise by accident. We chose the location because we wanted to spend a meditation week where we could meditate undisturbed. After we arrived and were greeted in a very friendly and unobtrusive manner, we decided to take advantage of Maria's offer, let her suggest a program and discuss any issues with her for up to 20 minutes a day. And we didn't regret it. We gratefully took advantage of all their offers and received many suggestions. After a week of meditation at Little Paradise, we were fully inspired by Maria and all that could be absorbed around the meditation. We found the atmosphere in the house to be very beneficial. We were lucky with the weather. And that's why we were able to enjoy the garden that Antje looks after as a true paradise. This retreat had a lasting effect on us. So that we booked another retreat for the turn of the year 2022/23 and again received a wealth of suggestions from Maria for us. After a week we drove back home inspired and will definitely come back soon.

I was here with my husband six months ago. It's great that there's something like this near Hamburg. The house is furnished down to earth. Much is self-explanatory. However, Maria and Antje, the hosts, are available if you have any questions. Vegetarian foods are always available. Everyone does the cooking for themselves. However, cooking together is not excluded. It was a great atmosphere and everyone has enough freedom here. The garden has many different zones, so that I have always found a suitable place here, depending on my own mood. Here I was left alone. I didn't experience conversion here, just pure acceptance. That's important to me personally. The environment is wonderful. Thanks very much

Are you looking for a little break from the fast pace of everyday life to reflect on the essentials in your life and get a little closer to yourself? The Little Paradise is really perfect for that. You can spend a few really relaxing days here in silence as well as in open and friendly company with Maria, Antje and the (international) guests. I immediately felt comfortable in the old country house with garden, the cozy kitchen and the beautiful meditation room! Thanks :-)

My time at Little Paradise was wonderful. A break from my everyday life and I'm looking forward to taking my insights from this time home with me and putting them into practice for myself. It was exciting for me to sleep in the Garden Dome. I enjoyed getting up in the morning and being close to nature and doing exercise in the fresh air. The garden is a real oasis of peace and I enjoyed the meditations. You could design the retreat the way you wanted it to be. It was a great experiment to be silent for 3 days and to be alone with your thoughts. The shared kitchen offers everything you could want ☺️ I recommend taking a cell phone break while in Little Paradise. It felt so good for me. Thank you for the time with you Maria & Antje❤️

Thank you for 7 incredibly inspiring, life changing days at Little Paradise! It was my 1st retreat ever and I went there with high expectations, to find out more about myself and to find inner peace. After 7 days I can say that even the high expectations were far exceeded. I have learned so much about myself, had such incredibly deep meditative experiences and am more relaxed and calm than I have been in 5 years since I became self-employed! This was mainly possible thanks to the great company of Maria and Antje, who were always there for me when I needed help and were able to guide me as needed. I will go there again in six months because it was so good. The house is beautiful and helps you find yourself even more deeply because it offers everything you could wish for in a retreat. Many thanks again to Maria and Antje for offering something like this and making it accessible to people like me and others so that we can experience such life-changing days with you. Many thanks for everything!
