At La Romita we’ve been hosting art workshops for 60 years! Over that time we’ve learned a lot about what artists need and want in order to achieve their creative goals. Here are 5 reasons our artists love to visit us and the beautiful “green heart of Italy”…Umbria.

5. Food: Umbrian cuisine is healthy and fresh. La Romita’s cooks prepare authentically Umbrian meals with dietary restrictions in mind. We do the cooking so you can focus on creating.

4. Hill Towns: Artists love the excursions to nearby hill towns. Enjoy all that Italy has to offer minus the overcrowding of tourists. The rolling hills, historic architecture, friendly locals, and inviting cafes are some of our artists’ favorite subjects.

3. People: Experience a new place with fellow artists who are observing and seeking similar inspiration. Meals at La Romita are a favorite for reflecting on the day’s activities and discussing topics in art.

2. Art Instructors: At La Romita, we pride ourselves in attracting the very best art instructors in a variety of media from sketching to poetry. Our instructors are the best in their fields.

1. Time and Space: We take care of all the logistics so you can focus on just creating artwork. Our 16th-century sanctuary turned art studio is available to you 24/7 and the garden and olive grove provide relaxing spaces for reflection or sketching.
