Holiday Overview:

The Villa, a spacious 18th century converted Umbrian farmhouse, is located on a hillside set in large and secluded grounds. There are wonderful views of the Umbrian Hills and of nearby medieval hilltop towns.

We have found the comfort, peaceful surroundings and ample space fulfils the needs of those who come, whether wanting to take advantage of the painting programme, or as accompanying non painters. There are excursions to new and familiar places each year providing abundant resource material for the painters. The working environment will suit those who would like to combine serious work with relaxation in beautiful surroundings, or continue with on-location painting. Both experienced artists and those new to painting and drawing can produce a satisfying body of work. Most bedrooms are en-suite. There is a private swimming pool.

The Villa, is situated about 15km from Orvieto. The spectacular cathedral with the Luca

Signorelli frescos and the doors by Emilio Greco are just some of reasons we visit there. There will be several opportunities to visit and work in this attractive town in addition to other planned excursions.

Non-artists are welcomed: Find out more...

The alternative programme, for non-painters, partners and friends, provides a good opportunity for additional exploration as well as visits to not-to-be-missed places of interest.
