All Inclusive Art Holidays in the Heart of Italy

Relaxed Art holidays for everyone, whatever your experience and in any medium.

Small group size with lots of one-to-one tuition, and flexibility.

It’s your holiday, you set the pace.

The Story of one of our holidays

Trish, Srin and Vasanta are on their third visit. Maria, Anthea and Jan on their second and Francesca on her forth visit. Bonnie, Bill and Alex are all new friends.

Explore this delightful region, meet new friends from around the world and kick-start your creative side. With authentic Italian cuisine, a private room for every artist and a beautiful location you will really enjoy your artistic holiday in Italy.

Non painting partners are also welcome at a 30% discount. There is plenty for them to do and discover. If Giottos, sunshine and ice cream are simply not enough we can also arrange cookery, Italian, or yoga lessons

Flip through our photobooks and read our reviews to get an idea of our fun courses.
