Podere Isabella is a property of two hectares situated in the peaceful hills south of Siena, with a 180° view of the Val d'Orcia's enchanting landscape. Designated World heritage site by UNESCO, this area is full of artistic treasures to discover and an unspoiled natural reserve for a variety of wildlife. The house is a stone building from the early 20th century, surrounded by Mediterranean brush, olive trees, roses, cypress trees, fountains and a heated swimming pool.

Spacious rooms are painted with natural colors and decorated with antique European and Asian furniture, ethnic materials and carpets, old prints and contemporary art. Most of the bedrooms have private bathrooms. The living room's large fireplace warms up winter nights; in the kitchen, along with modern appliances, exquisite Tuscan food can be cooked in a traditional firewood oven.

Aurora's activities take place in the barn, recently restored according to Feng Shui principals, with eco-friendly materials and alternative energy. On the first floor, an 80 sqm meditation room; on the ground floor, a 120 sqm open space with computer, wi-fi connection, film projector, semi-professional kitchen, dining room, and porch for al fresco dining.
