Do I need to be an artist or have printmaking experience?

Not at all. Complete beginners are very welcome.
This retreat is perfect for anyone who enjoys drawing, sketching, or simply being creative. You can also join if you have some printmaking experience and want to refresh your skills.
Tuition is tailored to each participant so you feel supported, relaxed, and confident — and you’ll go home with a small edition of prints you’re proud of.

​

Do I need to bring any materials or equipment?

No. All printmaking materials and tools are provided.
The only things you may want to bring are:

• Comfortable shoes for walking

• Your own toiletries (towels are provided)

You don’t need to bring anything for the art classes.

​

Can I bring a partner or friend who won’t participate in the art course?

Absolutely. Non-participating partners are welcome.
There is plenty for them to enjoy: the pool, gardens, countryside walks, nearby villages, golf, or peaceful workspaces with WiFi. They are welcome to join the excursions, wine tasting, and olive oil tasting.

​

What if I’m travelling alone?

Many guests come on their own, and the retreat environment is warm and welcoming.
We offer a range of room options — private suites, shared VIP rooms, and twin/triple rooms. If you choose a shared room, we do our best to match you with someone compatible.
Guests often spend most of their free time in the villa’s common spaces, gardens or pool, so it’s a lovely way to meet new people.

​

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Yes. Our chefs use fresh, local, seasonal produce, and we are very happy to accommodate dietary needs such as vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
Just let us know in advance so we can prepare for you.

​

Can you help me plan my train to Chiusi–Chianciano Terme railway station?

Of course. We’re happy to help you choose the right train from your arrival city.
The villa is located between Rome and Florence, and both cities are connected by a major rail line.
We offer complimentary transfers from Chiusi–Chianciano Terme station between 15:00 and 17:30 on arrival day, and return transfers on departure morning (checkout is 10:00).
