As well as offering an exciting programme of courses in marble sculpture, Artistic Holidays provides comfortable holiday accommodation for rent in the hills outside Pietrasanta:
Casa Michelangelo is a comfortable, airy holiday house with a garden, furnished verandah and two parking places. The accommodation consists of double, twin and single bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The decor is bright and elegant, with carefully selected comfortable furnishings making this an excellent bolthole at the end of a long summer's day.
The house is available on a weekly basis (you would need to book two weeks if you are also taking one of the courses in sculpture) at a rate (in EURO) of €516 to €930.

If you are taking advantage of Artistic Holidays' courses in sculpture, staying at our holiday accommodation, or both, you will find that there are countless things to do and see in this part of Italy.
Sand and surf seekers will be bowled over by the long sandy beaches of the Versilian Riviera, the fin-de-siecle bathing establishments, windsurfing, sailing and boat trips to the pretty villages of the Cinque Terre. Nature lovers can visit the striking quarries that make Pietrasanta so famous, or take extended trips into the unspoilt forests and natural reserves of the Alpine mountain ranges to the northeast.
Pietrasanta has a busy cultural calendar and a busy population of artists and sculptors, while the historically important cities of Lucca and Pisa are a short drive away. Day trips to the Renaissance treasure troves of Florence and Siena are also easy, either by car or using the reliable railway system.
The countryside boasts ruined castles and fortified villages, famous thermal spas, and palatial country palaces with formal gardens. There are up-and-coming wineries, restaurants specialising in local fare, and a lively club and bar scene.
Whatever your bag, we'll do our best to help you enjoy your holiday in Italy. Please contact Artistic Holidays for more information or to confirm booking details.
