Testimonials

My two weeks in Monte Castello was overwhelmingly wonderful. Living in such a simple, peaceful environment was such a gift. The people, the scenery, the excellent food all contributed to making the time successful. I can still see the valley and Todi as clearly as if I were still there. For me, painting or drawing every day made it possible for me to improve my skills, and I am hoping to allow more time in my hectic schedule for doing just that. Thank you again for providing such a lovely opportunity for art. It was one of the high points of my life.
