“The gîtes are artistic, exceptionally beautiful, fully furnished, and equipped with all the comforts. There is a lovely terrace with (hanging) chairs and seating areas. The beds are luxurious and comfortable. Fresh bath towels and kitchen linen are provided, with replacements available as needed. Throughout the large grounds, there are seating areas to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.”

“Every day, we enjoyed the meals together, always in a beautiful outdoor setting at a carefully laid table. We learned so much and were introduced to a variety of materials and techniques. Anita provided drawing and painting lessons in a very pleasant and highly professional manner. She shared so much with us, and we truly feel equipped to move forward with all the knowledge and insights we’ve gained.”

“During the classes, everyone receives personal attention, whether you’re a beginner or advanced, and there’s plenty of room for individual initiative. The meals are carefully prepared throughout the week, featuring delicious vegetarian dishes.”

“During the week, I stayed in a beautiful gîte (entirely to myself), with a stunning view of Najac. The cottages and beautiful garden are nestled among the trees, high on a hill with a fantastic view. All meals were provided, and special dietary needs were carefully considered. The meals were vegetarian and varied…….
Anita also took the time and effort to teach us how to observe and perceive in a very enjoyable way. What do you truly see, and how do you put that on paper? I really appreciated that.”

“I had a fantastic week with incredibly welcoming and kind people running the estate. They were always there for us, cooked wonderfully, and provided excellent support during the workshops! The gîte was spotless, and everything we needed was there. Hats off to them!”
