Shine Retreats in Italy.

        From Perugia airport? Fabio’s cars are a trusted company that we use regularly. The taxi will be at your cost, and you will need to pay in cash (euros) but we will be happy to book if for you. Fabio’s team will keep an eye on your flight details in case of any delays and will hold up a sign with your name on it once you’re through customs. The cost is usually around €110
From Rome or Florence the cost is between €250 and €350 depending on dates and time. It is far more cost effective and simpler to take the train and mostly even faster. We will be happy to guide you in choosing and purchasing tickets to our local train station Chiusi-Chiancciano.

This is really determined by which retreat you are joining us on. Sometimes we have a tight turn around between retreats or others renting the house. Otherwise, we may be able to help you with a local option to rent accommodation around the retreat dates. Reach out to us to find out more. email [email protected]

Yes! We always ask for a £750 deposit and then usually invoice for the rest 60 days before the retreat start date. However, if you book far enough in advance, we can spread the remainder over two payments instead of one. Email us to find out more.

Firstly, our expert Practitioners can accommodate to your physical ability / injury so that you can potentially join in if you want to. Otherwise, you’re welcome to use that time to rest, write, read, stroll, swim or sleep. As you wish. Everything that we offer is for you to choose to do if it suits you. This is your time to retreat.

      Partners, friends or family members are welcome. They can still enjoy the house, the food, walks, the pool (if its open) and all the trips that we go on. The rooms have ample space for you both and there’s plenty of downtime for you to share together.

Yes!! The pool is 200m down the white road track. It opens between June and August, sometimes into the first week of September. It belongs to the Estate, which encompasses acres of land and a few houses, so it is shared by some treasured local neighbours. The pool area is very beautiful and spacious with stunning views of the Cortona hills. There are plenty of shaded day beds for you to lounge in aswell.

      Yes absolutely. We can create a bespoke retreat for you, with you, albeit more of a holiday with added extras, or a more involved retreat set up for your chosen family or friends. We can offer different local trips and experiences, such as a truffle hunt,a  wine tasting or a natural hot springs visit.
 Email [email protected] so that we can talk about all of the exciting options with you.

If you would just like to rent the house without any extras, you can visit

https://silianoalto.com/ and make enquiries there.

The majority of our guests come alone, the retreat experience is inclusive, and we regularly observe friendships being forged from day 1. We are able to support you with travel ideas and options to make your travel as easy as possible.

We only recommend you share a room with a friend or partner, as retreats often provide the space and time for rest, surrender and development, even when that is not the goal.

         We are able to cater for allergies, intolerances, and preferences, but we do need to know in advance, and this is included in your registration form. Obviously when catering to a group we will do our best to be as inclusive as possible.
