At Artemisia Holidays our main concern is to ensure that our guests have the best experience.

These are a few of the comments we received in 2005. (Click here for comments from 2004)

Painting with Maggie Ramage

“Thanks for the holiday – definitely more relaxed than when I came!”

“Maggie was an absolutely brilliant tutor and I am sure she would be just as good with a more advanced group or with beginners. My painting has improved immeasurably”.

“The holiday was among the best, if not the best, I have ever had and I appreciated all the hard work and thought you both put into it – faaaaaaaaaaaaantastic!”

Maggie Hamand Creative Writing

“Maggie Hamand, the food and drink, Lorraine and Joe – all top notch!”

“I think that you are developing a unique retreat that is evolving very well – keep up the excellent work!”

“I was so impressed by your breadth of literary knowledge and ability to remember a range of plots and characters. Thank you also for the one-to-one session (an unexpected bonus) and your constructive and helpful comments”.

Sallyann Sheridan and Jacqui Lofthouse Creative Writing

“I have enjoyed lots and lots of things but my favourite thing was Pizza Night”

“I enjoyed being welcomed as one of the family and learning new writing tips and skills”

“I’d change absolutely nothing! I’ve had a wonderful time”.

“You are incredibly welcoming and are great hosts. I really appreciated your organisation and your high standards”.

“I enjoyed the friendliness of the groups, the shared experience of learning, the beauty of Barga. A very happy atmosphere”.

“Both John Hands and Adrian Wiszniewski were excellent tutors who gave of their time unstintingly”
