Well, not everyone wants to paint
Non-painting partners are, of course, very welcome and there is plenty to do. One of the things that makes Artist in Italy unique is that we live within a beautiful and natural private Estate. The woods here have remained untouched since 1922 and are home to a wonderful array of wildlife.
Our non-painters are free to explore the many old tracks that crisscross the estate, all within easy walking distance of the house. Alongside the beauty of the natural surroundings, there are also tennis courts and swimming pools (in season) and the availability of mountain bikes to hire for the day.
Leaving the estate, you are a short drive away from many delightful Tuscan and Umbrian hill-top towns, such as Montepulciano, Chiusi, Pienza and Citta Della Pieve.
In the surrounding area there is a beautiful nine-hole golf course designed by Ferruccio Lamborghini, tucked beneath the medieval town of Panicale, just 15 minutes away. You can also find horseback riding, wine tasting, visits to lively local markets and sleepy medieval villages or just taking in the landscape with its tapestry of vineyards, olive groves and sunflowers, spiked with rows of cypresses and umbrella pines.
As a non-painter, you will be invited to join us on any visits that might interest you.
The non-painter is offered a generous 25% discount.
