Carved into a gentle hill, Masseria Specula is a historical farmhouse, surrounded by 20 hectares of exclusive private land, offering a tranquil retreat just 1km away from the enchanting shores of the Ionian Sea. 

I am incredibly excited to offer you this unique chance to join Sarah Stokes, fellow friend, fabulous watercolor artist, and myself on this amazing 7-day Italian watercolour art retreat set in beautiful Puglia, southern Italy.

Your time here will be a perfect blend of creating beautiful art, discovering charming historic towns, savoring delicious traditional cuisine, and leisurely walks along sun-drenched beaches!

We will immerse ourselves in the creative vibe of the local area as we journey through the week, riding horses along sandy beaches and watching the magnificent flamingos at the nearby salt lakes. Our painting sessions at Masseria Specula, led by either Sarah or myself, will offer guidance in our unique watercolour styles, providing a deeply enriching and fulfilling creative experience.

Sarah is one of the founders of Olive & Plum along with fellow friend and business partner Katie Beaumont. With 5O years of combined art & travel experience, they have sought out some of the best places, teachers, and hosts to bring to you an inspiring collection of artist led retreats. 

Whether you’re an established artist or just beginning your journey, all levels of expertise are welcome. This art retreat is one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities so I hope to see some of you there to share in the adventure!

This seven-day magic art retreat starts from £3,240
