The Watermill at Posara
Savour the true Italian lifestyle

A special week-long art course in all media
with Lyn Fraser-Roberts: 4-11 July 2009

For centuries artists have drawn their inspiration from the Tuscan landscape and you could find few better places to enjoy your art and improve your skills than in our beautiful watermill. We are set beside the curving banks of a river in a gentle, wooded valley.

Secluded, yet part of the village; peaceful, yet just a mile from the walled medieval town of Fivizzano with its cafés, restaurants and shops; with pleasant gardens and peaceful millstream walks and with stunning views of the mountains in the background, the mill provides the ideal location for a painting holiday.

“An enchanting place - I really loved it, endless delightful subjects to paint” “From the moment I stepped into my apartment and saw and heard the river, I realised it was going to be very special”

“The organisation was absolutely wonderful; we were so well looked after”

“We’ve been on many painting holidays, but this was the best ever.”

You will stay in an elegant Tuscan house beside the old mill. It has eight large double and two single fully furnished bedrooms, and five modern bathrooms, together with a large communal sitting room with an open fire and a dining room for leisurely breakfasts. Dinner (included in the cost of the course) will be at several small and friendly local restaurants and will include regional Italian dishes and wines. We can cater for vegetarians on request. There are facilities for making your own tea and coffee.
