Although Yoga retreats are not unusual – this one has a special charm.  Perhaps its the location, nestled deep in the breathtaking Sabina mountains, that draws your breath away, or maybe it’s something to do with the relaxing timetable, outstanding local produce and the enjoyment of meeting new people in such a friendly and informal setting.  Regardless of what attracts you to this stunning corner of the world, you can easily see how – year after year – this privately owned Eco-Tourism/holistic retreat has guests coming back for more.   

My journey began by researching the huge variety and locales of yoga centres, ashrams and resorts available across the world.  It was easy to settle on Sunflower due to its proximity to Rome (meaning I could keep costs down by flying a cheap airline) and the website was a great source of information regarding the treatments available as well as some really great photos to help me make up my mind.
