7 Nights and 8 Days Painting Vacation in Tuscany
Stunning views are essential for a painting holiday in Italy and that is why our villas are hand-picked to find the perfect location. Our villa in Tuscany is situated in the countryside on a private estate. We have carefully chosen an area of Tuscany famous for its breathtaking scenery to inspire our guests. When you are not painting, take some time to relax by the pool and wander the grounds of the estate. All the villa’s bedrooms are ensuite and decorated in a contemporary style.
