Siliano Alto
Let the hills slow the day
Above the folds of the Umbrian countryside, Siliano Alto puts an old farmhouse and its rural surroundings at the heart of the stay. The house is a 200-year-old Tuscan farmhouse, with a rustic, welcoming character and a sense of history that feels part of the landscape rather than staged for visitors. Here, the appeal is the contrast with a hurried routine: open hills, a secluded estate and room to let the day slow down. For travelers comparing meditation retreats, this is a place-led choice, where the setting is clear but the precise practice and retreat format depend on the dates. It may suit people drawn to quiet countryside and a simpler pace more than those looking for a defined lineage or a highly specified daily program. Check the website for current retreat dates and details before planning a stay.
