Our traditional Umbrian cuisine is about good flavour, freshness, and simplicity.

Umbria’s rich local soil provides its residents an unlimited number of amazing seasonal ingredients which are simply prepared to highlight the true flavour of each dish. The traditional methods still used in the production of such typical ingredients as Norcia’s regional artisan cheeses, regional wines, and our famous treasured black truffle that grows on our grounds here at San Flaviano Retreat. Our cuisine is unique to the region, and authentic to it’s origins. The cuisine of Umbria is healthy, hearty, and born from “cucina povera”. Umbrians have always relied on the natural resources harvested from their fields and forests.

It is honest, Italian home cooking at it’s very finest!

Overall Experience

I would like to ask people considering a yoga retreat to read all the negative reviews. I recently lost my father and came her to grieve and recover and was called “abusive’ and hateful. Very scary how the owner Tess Honeywell treats her customers. The majority of the group was deeply disappointed. Please make a better choice then we did. I have been to over 20 yoga retreats in my life and have never written a negative review before. It takes time out of our life to do this and would have no reason to write negative things unless true.
The retreat was presented as a week of rest, healing, peace and energy alignment. Unfortunately I was not able to find these things at the San Flaviano Retreat.
1. The energy felt loud, tense, and uncomfortable and filled with a self-centered attitude as opposed to creating a comfortable group connection.
2. The room was also not as expected with little to no privacy, unpredictable water temperature in tub/shower and inconsistent electricity and
3. The church felt unsafe with many noises and it felt like people might have been walking downstairs in the middle of the night and periodic door rattling.
All in all, I had several sleepless nights and felt my already high stress level increasing day by day and leaving me upon my departure feeling more depressed, shaken and exhausted.
Myself and two others on the retreat left halfway through with a guaranteed refund. We just found out Tess, the owner and the one running the retreat, has decided not to follow thru with her word. This shows a huge lack of integrity. I would rate this experience a zero if I could.

Our Retreat Leader and Teacher – Laura Slavov

Laura Slavov Yoga TeacherLaura is not the typical yogi. She loves her coffee in the morning and will hardly say no to a glass of wine on a summer Friday evening. After graduating a Bachelor of Business Administration and working in the financial sector for a while she realized that this is not her path. Yoga has been in her life ever since she moved to Holland for her study in 2007. Starting with a vigorous Power Yoga, going through periods of Hot Yoga and Ashtanga, Hatha and Yin Yoga, Laura has tried a lot to discover the beauty of developing one’s own style of yoga where breath and movement unite to create a deep connection with oneself, the best teacher there is!

What Yoga has done for her is amazing and her dream is to help people transform under the influence of the asanas (postures). She believes yoga should be fun and enjoyable and in her classes you will have the chance to smile and just be yourself. She invites everyone to gently experience their own boundaries and allow themselves be inspired by the magic of Yoga.
