  Descripción

  The Art-house is in the heart of Italy, in the region of Umbria, in the beautiful countryside around Marsciano, in the province of Perugia. Many tourist attractions are close by (Assisi, Todi, Lake Trasimeno, and many more). The Art-house is both an art centre and a vacation home. In 2001, ceramist and sculptor Luca and his wife Elisabetta opened this combination art studio and lodgings.
  Luca and Elisabetta have remodelled the complex according to the period of construction (late nineteenth century), and added their personal touch in the interior design by decorating it with art work that shows the care and desire to recreate a new, warm, living space. It's an ideal place to spend a vacation or experience art first hand by taking courses and attending events organized throughout the year. Our corse include a wide range of ceramics techniques and applied arts activities .

  Algo más...

  A car is necessary for complete freedom of movement, whether to nearby Marsciano or on excursions to nearby art centres, natural attractions or sports events. There are also train or bus links, but arrangements would have to be made with Elisabetta and Luca. The Art-house is near famous cities like Perugia, Assisi or Todi, and Elisabetta frequently goes into town on errands so she could help for small matters. A little shop and bar are a walk or short bike ride away.
