The Location
The workshop will be held in the village of San Donato, a small hamlet clustered around a tiny Romanesque church. Four kilometres from San Gimignano, in the heart of the Chianti region, it is well situated in relation to Florence, Siena, Voltera, Pisa, and Lucca. The setting represents an ideal base for exploring the Tuscany landscape, rolling hills covered with sunflower fields, olive groves, and vineyards, offering inspiring scenes for painting. Ancient houses in the village center provide the accommodation. There is also a swimming pool. First grade agritourism is offered, with traditional meals, prepared with locally produced ingredients.
