Welcome to our home in Umbria, Italy!

SR House and dasies

We can't wait to welcome you here!

Our Italian home is called Siliano Alto, a 9 Bedroom farmhouse split into 3 apartments, with wellness spaces for practitioners to work with you in groups or in private. The space is so flexible that we can cater to all of your needs and desires including many layers of privacy, rest and reflection, as well as shared spaces to enjoy food and group activities.

We have two resident cats called Puppy and Mr Fluffikins! They are outdoor cats, but are often found relaxing on the loggier upstairs by their food. If you have allergies, we recommend that you take one of the beautiful rooms downstairs. Also! We can cater for you bringing your dog with you. We adore dogs and will do everything to make sure that their stay, as well as everyone elses is a joy to be shared. With plenty of countryside to walk around and such a huge house to stay in, a well behaved dog would be most welcome.

For more information, email us on retreats@shineholistic.co.uk or take a look at our Retreats.

The last day of the actors retreat was blissful. Morning yoga under the millennial olive trees, coffee at Villa Strada. Lunch at Podere , shopping in Pienza. A visit to the hot springs then dinner at home with the whole retreat family. A holistic experience amongst expert tutoring by @reidforit to be “On Camera and Audition Ready.” See link in bio for July 2025 #shineretreats #actorsretreat #actorstraining #bagnisanfilippo #podereilcasale

@anoushkashankarofficial providing the perfect soundtrack for @sophiemcnic massage treatments. In 35 degree heat we are so grateful for the beautiful stone walls of the house keeping us cool. Birds, breeze and grasshoppers add to the atmosphere as our guests enjoy their treatments. #ladolcevita #shineretreatsitaly #shineretreats #tuscanyretreat #massagetherapy #perfectsoundtrack
