2013 Paint In Italy
ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT!
Imagine painting the world class villas of Lake Como!
Imagine visiting such romantic places as Bellagio and Varena! We will arrive just
in time to see the Lake Villas in bloom!
This ‘bucket list’ worthy trip will bring us to the
shores of Lake Como in Northern Italy where artists, aristocrats, philosophers
and senators have been drawn to its beauty.
We will visit many of the beautiful towns and villa
such as Bellagio, Villa Melzi, Varenna, Mennagio, Villa Carlotta, and Villa
Balbienello. We will be staying in a family owned Albergo on the lakeshore and
will experience authentic gourmet Italian meals from the owner/chef.
