We have available here in the heart of Tuscany three large painting studios, a large sculpture studio and an art library and lecture theatre, all of which can be heated in winter. Several en suite rooms and apartments. There is a wide terrace with splendid views suitable for eating out and painting etc. Prices/Rent details here. There will be some options available for work in exchange for rent.

The hilltop village of Casole d’Elsa (centre 150 m away) can provide a variety of restaurants and bars serving food, plus all the normal shops and services expected in a small, fairly sophisticated, hilltop village of under 1000 inhabitants, which has proudly named itself “The City of Art”. The surrounding landscape is beautiful and accessible - farms, vineyards, olive groves and woods with endless tracks for walking.

We are hoping for paying adult artists in residence,  and anyone else interested in the arts, ideally for a minimum of 1 week. Each with their own work space.  See availability.
