Travel with an experienced tour facilitator and a small group on a customised, Creative Cultural Getaway and ‘live the medieval village life’ in Anghiari. You will experience a serene holiday, living in a Tuscan farmhouse or a village or vineyard in Tuscany, taking day trips into other medieval villages and cities, as opposed to staying in expensive cities, dealing with parking, traffic stress and high prices (click here for dates and pricing).

Consider taking a cultural get-away to incorporate:

- Learn to speak basic Italian with an instructor
- Horse back riding lessons or trails – English style
- Walking tours of Tuscany
- Wine tasting and vineyards tour in Tuscany
- Best authentic Tuscan food and restaurants.
If you are a writer, a photographer or an artist -- or just a "wannabee", this cultural experience can also be a productive one. A holiday where you can learn to horse ride, take a cooking lesson or a painting course and bring home meaningful paintings or photographs that often constitute and document what art instructor, Dawn-Angela calls, “a safe passage from one chapter of your life to another".
You can make this an artists holiday, learn to paint the Tuscan countryside. See our optional Painting Made Simple art course in Tuscany.
"Art is relaxing, creative and therapeutic, it’s an outlet that can help ground us, recharge our batteries and motivate us toward life changes. Consider some art lessons or a workshop in composition for photographers and artists -- experienced or beginners."
This cultural vacation can include formal, or informal cooking lessons which can be arranged for groups at the nearby Chef School in Caprese Michelangelo (birthplace of Michelangelo), or on a more informal and fun evening, we can bring in a chef or some of the village's best cooks to cater local food for you at your country house. Not far from the Medieval village of Anghiari and the country house where you will be staying, in the village of Pistrino, our friend Countess Alberica owns and operates a stable and is a wonderful horse riding instructor for kids and adults. You can also take a trail ride in the countryside.
