Art Retreats

Picture
All are welcome to the Art Retreat at Settimo Cielo.  This is your time to create in beautiful and peaceful surroundings.  Relax and unwind with drawing, painting, or whatever inspires you.

Your creative time -
Mornings will begin with delicious breakfast,  optional guided meditation, followed by a relaxing drawing or painting session.  

A lunch of locally sourced produce will be enjoyed on the terrace.  The afternoons can be used as free time to draw or paint on your own or with the group as you choose. 

The art retreat is a safe and gentle environment to help you relax and enjoy the creative process.  So, you might just wish to find a corner of the garden to paint, or explore the surrounding woodland to find your own muse. 

As the evenings draw in the fireflies come out offering a truly magical display of sparkly floating ‘fairy’ lights all around.  Rest and share the day's discoveries with an aperitivo and a delicious home cooked evening meal.
This is your time to nurture your artist self, away from the demands and distractions of everyday life, a time to slow down and feel warmly welcomed within a small group of like minded people.

  • Day 1:   Upon arrival you will be greeted with an aperitivo at Settimo Cielo followed by pizza in our local restaurant.
