We are off to Italy again- in June 2026!

Stay in a beautifully renovastone borgo (or ancient hamlet), pick blooms at a local small flower farm and explore local hilltop towns, create beautiful painterly bouquets and arrangements- and then re-create them in watercolours, relax by the pool and gaze at our peaceful valley view…
