In the heart of green Umbria, this hidden gem is tucked amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany. This charming farmhouse has been restored according to the principles of bio-architecture and is ideal for those interested in a change to truly retreat from the world. Get closer to nature and spend your retreat coming into harmony with the natural rhythms of life at this eco-friendly wellness center. With 17 historic rooms, a pool of vitalizing water, three stunning yoga rooms, a restaurant with wonderful vegetarian cuisine, and lots of beautiful outdoor space to enjoy this is a venue not to be missed! 

The interiors of the farmhouse are in typical Umbrian style, with terracotta floors and exposed beams and bricks. The center is furnished with an original mix of classic and ethnic, which gives charm and elegance to your retreat experience. In their luscious park, surrounded by oaks trees, the swimming pool of natural waters is an amazing privilege. The pool is in the form of a natural pond, surrounded by volcanic boulders, and consists of three basins connected to each other by a system of rocky cascades. It is a place to rejuvenate and find true wellness, with a large Jacuzzi in the center. 

This Tuscan farmhouse is the perfect place for a nature holiday in the green heart of Italy, with its untouched landscapes lined with historic towns. This retreat center is available year-round, giving you access to Italy throughout all of its breathtaking seasons.

Elizabeth Israel

Born and raised in Nebraska (the Heartland), where yoga was slow to arrive, Elizabeth started doing yoga with videos. Wanting to deepen her understanding of yoga in order to help her massage clients with the benefits of yoga, she started out small with a weekend teaching course, moved on to a 200-hour hatha/vinyasa course, and then decided she had a love of Kundalini so went to Bali to get her 200-hour KRI certification. She is now E-RYT 200, YACEP, and RYT 500, has taught over 1600 studio hours, and hosted and participated in several international retreats, including Bali, India, and Jamaica, in addition to many local workshops and day retreats.

Elizabeth’s class style is playful, nonjudgemental, infused with humor, modifications, optional challenges, and a big heart full of love and understanding. Her goal in being a yoga teacher and a student is to embrace the benefits of yoga, live it to the best of her ability, and share in the struggle with others, allowing each person to understand that yoga, and life is a journey! Elizabeth has a deep love of travel. Having grown up in the Midwest, she was fortunate to have a family that enjoyed travel and was able to travel the USA extensively and into Canada and Mexico. She took her travels overseas for a year as an exchange student in Sweden and then a year of teaching English in Hungary. Since then she has traveled to more than 20+ other countries, the most recent being India and Bali for yoga teaching and learning opportunities. This love of travel, meeting new people, and experiencing yoga around the world has inspired her to offer this experience of a yoga retreat to Italy.  Elizabeth views being a yoga student and a teacher as a beautiful never-ending journey. She is so excited to be able to offer this retreat for all students on their yoga journeys. Elizabeth owns and operates Avani Day Spa and Yoga Studio in Hastings, Nebraska.
