Your all-inclusive holiday begins when you touch down in Florence, Italy September 15th, 2017. You will be met just outside the luggage claim area by myself, Lisa and one of our trusty van drivers. From there, you will be transported to La Montalla, your home-away-from-home for the next 10 days. There you will be welcomed with light refreshment and will have the opportunity to settle into your rooms, meet the other workshop participants and relax before dinner.

The next day, the real fun begins. There will be opportunities to see and experience this tranquil area of Italy, while working closely with  Serena in the studio. Day trips to ancient villages and open-air markets, incredible vistas, and unforgettable sights will be on your agenda, in addition to learning new cold-wax and oil-painting skills

Aperitif will be served daily prior to dinner which is regional Italian cuisine, served family- style, in our large dining room. Wine is provided with meals and special dietary requirements are graciously honored when possible.

Included in your holiday are:

• 10 nights accommodations at La Montalla, based on double occupancy. (Single supplements are available to you, should you choose. See below.)
