A Painting Holiday Through Puglia 

Journey through one of Italy's most captivating regions on this nine-night painting holiday, exploring the whitewashed towns, ancient olive groves and dramatic coastline of Puglia. 

Limited to just eight guests, this fully hosted experience combines relaxed watercolour tuition with authentic Italian hospitality, staying in two exceptional boutique properties. We'll begin at the beautiful Masseria Marzalossa, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees near Fasano, before travelling south to the charming old town of Gallipoli, where narrow streets, fishing boats and golden evening light provide endless inspiration. 

Each day we'll visit carefully chosen painting locations including Monopoli, Ostuni, Lecce, Nardò and Gallipoli. Simon will demonstrate simple travel journalling techniques throughout the week, helping you capture the atmosphere of each place in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Whether you're completely new to watercolour or have years of experience, tuition is tailored to your own ability. 

As with all Paint Your Travels holidays, this is about much more than painting. Long lunches, wonderful regional cuisine, local wines, boutique accommodation and the slower rhythm of southern Italy are all part of the experience. Every detail has been carefully planned, allowing you to relax, paint and simply enjoy discovering Puglia. 

All painting materials are provided, and throughout the holiday you'll be looked after by Simon and Monica, ensuring a warm, personal experience from the moment you arrive until it's time to say goodbye.
