Painting in Italy

7 Nights and 8 Days Singles Painting Vacations in Venice

Historic and beautiful Venice is the perfect place for a painting holiday in Italy. Let the splendour of Venetian canals, bridges and baroque architecture inspire you. Venice is a city surrounded by water and the medium of watercolour can really help you to capture the fluidity of the city. Our villa is away from the hustle and bustle situated in the wine region of the Veneto near Treviso. The villa is surrounded by rolling green hills and local vineyards. Venice offers a lot of inspiration for painters and the fertile countryside of the region lends itself to landscape painting.

7 Nights and 8 Days Painting Vacation in Venice

Susegana is a large villa in the hills outside of Venice in the Valdobbiadene wine region, famous for producing Prosecco. This vast estate is situated amongst woodland, pastures, and rolling hills and provides an idyllic escape from everyday life. Nearby there is a farm that produces its own buffalo mozzarella and cured meats as well as yoghurt and honey. This place is a must for all foodies. The villa has all modern conveniences and is surrounded by quiet countryside. There is plenty of outside space for relaxing or alfresco dining – there is even a delightful natural swimming pool.
