ACCOMMODATION

Our home is the last house in the small hamlet of Bedogno, it overlooks vineyards at the back and has great views of hills and mountains all around. Bedogno itself is very picturesque and the local town of Villa Minozzo is within walking distance. Here, there are shops, banks, Post Office, several restaurants, cafes and bars, supermarket, swimming pool and sports facilities.

The house itself caters for 10 guests. There are twin or double bedrooms. Each bedroom shares a bathroom, kitchen, lounge and balcony with one other. Prices for all courses are based on two people sharing a room.

We've called the first floor 'Villa Botticelli' as it has a mural (2m x 4m) of Botticelli's 'Primavera' in the lounge.

This is a great opportunity to study the work of this wonderful Italian painter, and perhaps inspire you to try something different!

The top floor we have named after the great Michelangelo. Unfortunately we have no original work(!!) but have replicas (and a couple of Pheona's copies) of some of his famous paintings and sculptures for you to appreciate.

We have a room on the ground floor which may suit those who have difficulty with stairs.

There is a very large sun deck.

There is a very large sun deck.

The indoor studio is on the ground floor

.....and we use a section of the sundeck as an outdoor studio

And there is a large, beautifully landscaped flower garden with lots of little seated areas for you to relax.

......or paint the flowers

...or be inspired to make something a little bit different!

We can watch the deer in the field outside, eagles soaring above, irridescent fireflies in June and butterflies all summer long. It's a nature lovers' paradise.

It's within walking distance of many trails, fields of wild flowers, agricultural land, orchards, grape vines, a river to walk alongside (or go for a cooling dip!), and the lovely hamlet itself.

Oh, and there is TV and video in the living areas on each floor.
