Painting Holidays in Amalfi
Vibrant colours, dramatic coastlines, and sparkling blue sea will greet you on a painting holiday to Amalfi. Our cliffside villas have breathtaking views over the sea which will inspire any painter. Enjoy a week filled with painting spectacular views, quaint fishing villages and lemon groves.
Where better to paint than the Amalfi Coast? With a sketchbook, easels and boards provided, all of the big details are taken care of for you, and Flavours will provide you with a handy list of painting materials to bring with you for your trip.
I loved the painting - I felt I learnt a lot with Hugh, our teacher, and the other guests were great company.
Villa Accommodation
Terraced into the sides of the cliffs, our villas in Amalfi offer breathtaking views of the dramatic coastline and plenty of artistic inspiration! All have extensive outdoor terraces, perfect for painting lessons and long lunches al fresco, and spacious pools and sunbathing areas. Whether picking lemons directly from the lemon groves in the grounds of the villa, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying an aperitivo on the clifftop terraces, our Amalfi villas offer the perfect spot for a week of seaside relaxation. Please bear in mind that given their cliffside locations, our Amalfi Coast villas do have a considerable number of steps.
