Delighted at our experience with awesome international group, excellent mix of yoga, nature, cooking and friendship.

Staff are wonderful and we had a great trip. Be prepared to work hard if you want or totally relax.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Personal highlights were morning yoga on the outdoor deck, listening to birdsong and watching the sunlight filter through the canopy. That and all the delicious meals out and in.

Thank you!

So pleased I came to Casperia and Sunflower. The yoga has been truly inspirational, the food delightful, the people of the village warm and the welcome couldn’t have been better. I plan to return again.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great holiday. The yoga was suitably relaxing and challenging at the same time and managed to cater for a complete beginner and a non-beginner in the same class which was fantastic.....it will certain enrich my practice at home and improve my posture!

The excursions were enjoyable and the accommodation was beautiful (certainly felt like we had the best staying at Casa Latini with that amazing view). We met some wonderful like minded people and would unhesitatingly recommend Sunflower to anyone - I don't think I've ever had such a chilled out holiday!

Dearest Sunflower Retreats,
what an amazing week! Even in the rain Casperia has been utterly enchanting. Rest and nourishment for the mind, body and spirit. The yoga teacher and therapists are wonderful and all the other staff efficient friendly and lovely. And an amazing group too.

In deepest gratitude

I feel holistically renewed and energised after a fabulous week-as a beginner of yoga. I've gotten off to a great start with Gabrielle's wonderful classes. Highly recommended guided walk - refreshing, tranquil forest trail, also treatments are all great. All the therapists are holistic, well qualified and in tune with what your body needs on the day.

Also had a great craic at the cookery class. The hosts are very welcoming, so go with your gut feeling and try out what takes your fancy - this is my recommendation.

A wonderful holiday and a harmonious and beautiful environment in which to practice yoga. Delicious food to eat and lovely walks. The cooking class was great, as well as all the treatments.

Tutto bene. Thanks to all.

Wonderful accommodation in Casa Latini cave. Best views of the Italian countryside. The weather could not have been better - cold days and warm nights.
Yoga with Gabrielle was wonderful; so patient and knowlegable.

Loved the food as well.

Came here on our honeymoon. The countryside is really stunning. Gabrielle is a brilliant teacher - she knows her stuff. Make sure you try the Tiramisu in Friends Cafč.

Very friendly people and animals! A very good way to meet new people and make new friends.

possible!

Sarah & Steve,

The holiday has exceeded all expectations of the real Italy: From the cobbled steps, the aromas of cooking in the streets, to the vine groves below in the countryside, loved it and will return again and again.

Casperia is a delightful place. From sitting on the balcony in Casa Latini looking at the beautiful sunset beyond the horizon, to hearing the gentle sounds in the village in the morning...this is such a peaceful place.

The Yoga and treatments were so good, your holiday has been a real rejuvenation to me.

A real spiritual setting in the wonderful mountains. Casperia has everything; solitude, quiet, friendship and loads of fun. Fresh food and wine plentiful. Yoga was just an added bonus!!

Casperia is a wonderful place to get away from it all! After doing yoga for a few years, its only now that I realise what it is all about. Hope to come back sometime.

When I found Sunflower Retreats on the internet ( I could not find it on a map ) I wondered, where in the world am I going? Now I know it is heaven on earth.

This has been the most magical and fulfilling holiday I have ever given myself. I have learnt the true essence of yoga.The group this week has also made it for me.

Namaste.

Yoga and Casperia prove, if proof were sought, that we just have not been getting it right at home all these years.

Richard, Scotland

I am a true believer that there is a higher purpose behind everything we do and everywhere we go and lessons to be learned. I have stumbled across Casperia/ Sunflower Retreats, diamond in the rough, to see all the beauty of nature and to meet wonderful people as well as to experience the power of Yoga and relaxation, mind-over-body.I throughly enjoyed my time spent here and will recommend this place to others.
