This retreat is a return to beauty. To slow mornings, sun-warmed afternoons, and the quiet joy of making something with your hands. We’ll paint, move, eat well, and linger over long dinners in the Sicilian countryside — with nowhere else to be.
At our retreat home on Sicily’s western coast, creativity flows effortlessly, with every brushstroke, sip of wine, and warm conversation shared beneath the lemon trees. Whether you’re a practiced artist or picking up a paintbrush for the first time, there’s a place for you here.
Let Sicily be your muse.
Sicily is slow, soulful, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to pause, notice, and create. We’ll wander hilltop towns, paint beneath olive trees, and sip wine as the sun sinks into the sea.
move slow, make beauty
This retreat is about more than just movement or art. It’s about the in-between: good conversation over homemade pasta, quiet walks through the garden, and moments that aren’t scheduled, but stay with you.
From plein air painting to yoga on the lawn to impromptu espresso breaks, the experience is layered, unrushed, and full of character, like Sicily itself.
morning movement
Start each day with gentle yoga or breath-led movement in the open air. It's causal, grounding, and the perfect way to ease into your creative flow.
art workshops
From plein air painting in Italian squares to cozy studio sessions, you'll explore color, light, and technique with guidance from Dana, a practicing artist who makes the process feel playful, approachable, and deeply personal.
wine tasting
We’ll spend an afternoon at a local winery, tasting Marsala and other regional wines paired with small bites and big Sicilian views.
sicilian cooking class
Roll up your sleeves and learn how to prepare authentic Sicilian dishes in a hands-on cooking class led by a local chef, relaxed, flavorful, and full of laughter.
day trips
Explore Marsala’s historic town center, climb to the medieval village of Erice, or stroll past the salt pans and windmills near the coast. The itinerary is flexible and full of beauty.
artist show + tell
On our final night, we’ll gather with wine and laughter to share what we’ve created. No pressure- just a beautiful closing to a week of making, moving, and connecting.
Meet The Artist: Dana
We’ll spend the entire retreat in one thoughtfully restored farmhouse on Sicily’s unspoiled western coast, where vineyards meet the sea, and every detail invites you to slow down.
Our retreat home is full of charm and character: think natural lime-washed walls, hand-painted tile floors, private gardens, and sea-facing terraces. Each room is unique, with ensuite bathrooms, king-size beds (or singles upon request), and its own cozy corners for rest, reading, or a glass of wine at golden hour.
You’ll wake to the scent of citrus trees and fall asleep to the breeze from the Mediterranean.
Shared meals are fresh, seasonal, and made with love by our local chef, using ingredients grown on the property or sourced nearby. We’ll gather each night for long, candlelit dinners that feel like home- if home were a historic Sicilian vineyard by the sea.
It’s warm, soulful, and effortlessly beautiful, a true place to rest, reset, and create.
