Artemisia Holidays

Artemisia Holidays arrange Italian holidays centred on Barga, in northern Tuscany, not far from Lucca and Pisa,and also in Sicily.



The focus of their holidays is on art, writing and gastronomy. From the beautifully-illustrated home page click on Activities and the programme for this year's holidays is fully explained.



Of particular interest are the art and inspiration courses, led by well-known artists and the creative writing courses led by published authors. Artemisia also offer gastronomic holidays as well as self-guided walking tours and Italian classes.



Artemisia also offer tailor-made holidays. You can submit a booking form online, but deposits should be paid by calling the company direct.



Navigation on this site is a little eccentric, but the holidays on offer sound great fun and there are plenty of plaudits from satisfied customers.



And as a point of interest Artemisia was the daughter of the artist Orazio Gentileschi and an artist herself. Among other things in her interesting life, she helped her father to decorate the ceiling of the Queen's House, Greenwich.
