Painting holiday

Arrival day
Leaving Rome we arrive in San Quirico D'Orcia in time for a pre-dinner wander around the medieval streets.

Around our new home
We will spend the day walking and sketching in and around San Quirico.

Amidst the farmlands
Surrounded by beautiful farmland we paint beside the wonderful Agriturismo Checche. At the end of the day we pop in to Pienza for a brief exploration of this stunning town.

Down by the river
We spend the morning in Bagno Vignoni, beneath the covered loggia and beside the warm waters of the ancient baths.

Well placed
We will spend the day beside an old well beneath San Quirico, amidst fields from where we look up at the old town.

Free day
A chance to enjoy the pool, explore the old town or spend the day in the irresistibly classic city of Siena.

Mixing in Montepulciano
We are privileged to be based in the grounds of the private Palazzo Massaini – the early 17th century Papal summer residence with a very pretty courtyard inside the house, lovely grounds and formal gardens. On the way home we stop in Montepulciano for sight-seeing.

Old haunts
A final day based in San Quirico with a chance to revisit the many locations or rework a previous one before our lighthearted evening exhibition.

Departure day
After an early breakfast we return to Rome Fiumicino airport for 10.15.
