Be the first to get notified about the presale. We're keeping this to a small, intimate group β get ready for an amazing time together: discovery, history, nature, delicious food, and of course, lots of sketching!
Imagine us here β sketching, sipping fresh lemonade made from Amalfi Coast lemons, soaking in the Mediterranean beauty of southern Italy. A morning between UNESCO heritage sites, seaside, and incredible food. A small, intimate group. Real connections.
This is how this retreat will feel.
Exclusive location immersed in nature
We will stay at a historic Italian villa with all the charm of the past and all the comfort of modern living. Sun-drenched terraces, lush gardens, a swimming pool to unwind after a day of sketching, a pizza oven for evening gatherings, and plenty of cozy corners to enjoy good company or sketch quietly by yourself.
Experience real Italian authenticity
Stay in comfortable single or double rooms with private bathrooms, each one a quiet retreat of its own. This is true Italian hospitality β unhurried, warm, and deeply personal. And waking up to rolling green hills outside your window? The perfect way to start every sketching day.
I searched for the right place for this retreat for years β and this is it. It truly feels like a home away from home.
A place that inspires conviviality, great company, and deep relaxation. Creativity flows naturally here β because beauty is everywhere.
I want this time together to deeply recharge you β offering new perspectives, skills, and friendships that stay with you long after you return home.
The South of Italy will astonish you.
I left Paris to live in the South of Italy, and after 8 years, I want to show you around. The South has so much to offer.Β It's a paradise for creatives β inspiration is literally everywhere: small medieval cities, the blue sea, untouched nature, ancient temples and monasteries, and that incredible Mediterranean light you will never forget.
Paestum
Just 15 minutes from our villa lies one of the most extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. Paestum is home to three breathtakingly well-preserved ancient Greek temples, dating back to the 6th and 5th centuries BC β older than the Parthenon itself, and standing in remarkable condition to this day.
PadulaΒ Charterhouse
An hour and a half from our villa, the Certosa di San Lorenzo is one of the largest monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its grand baroque architecture, frescoed corridors, and vast cloisters are breathtaking. We will spend a half-day exploring this extraordinary encounter with history, art, and silence.
Mediterranean Sea
Our villa sits just minutes from a stunning stretch of coastline β perfect for a refreshing swim or a quiet moment by the water in between sketching sessions.
Traditional Italian Cuisine
Fresh seasonal produce, regional specialties, and the finest local olive oil β the flavors of the South will be an unforgettable part of this trip.
Sketching together
I've been teaching exclusively online for the past years, and I can't wait to finally meet you in person. We will have plenty of time to create, exchange ideas, and build lasting creative bonds.
