We organise our retreat for writers and artists to begin in the month of October, usually lasting one week.
In the mornings we drive to the surrounding hills and villages to sketch and paint. The afternoons are taken up painting in the studio, gallery and garden or doing whatever takes your fancy: swimming in the sea, wandering around the old town, visiting nearby places.
Depending on the weather, we eat on the terrace with a view over Amantea, the old town and the sea or sit in our own shady garden with a picnic, or in the dining room. We can also lunch or dine at local restaurants at the painting site or in the town. Our cook is local and all the ingredients are locally sourced. Our wines are also Calabrian.
