Extended Stay, April 2025 | TripAdvisor

"I stayed at Shinshiva Ayurvedic Ashram for several weeks and can wholeheartedly recommend it. Dr. Shanti Franklin, who runs the ashram, is very experienced and has a calm, clear manner that immediately inspires confidence. You feel you are in very good hands. The treatments are intensive but also very beneficial, carried out by an incredibly caring and attentive team. The food is fresh every day and of super high quality. I have met many other guests who come back every year, some for over 10 years. That speaks for itself. I would recommend Shinshiva to anyone who needs a break, is suffering from something chronic, or simply wants to really come back to themselves."
