"Wonderfully organised programme with so much to see and do that I couldn't find enough time to actually paint!! I learned so much from watching the live painting demonstrations projected onto large screens, and visiting the exhibited artworks in galleries and museums.The hotel was lovely - rooms very spacious, clean and comfortable; staff most attentive and helpful; breakfasts plentiful. Food in the three selected restaurants was excellent and, as always, I do enjoy eating a la carte instead of being offered a bog standard tourist menu - thank you, Sheila! For a future trip may I suggest that on the final day, when the festival has closed, we could then have some painting tuition - there really wasn't much time to fit it in during the festival - and, during the festival, we could visit some of the exhibited artworks with our tutor for a critique and explanation of some of the techniques used. I was amazed at what could be achieved using just water colour. Altogether another most successful and enjoyable week, Sheila - thank you". - Fabriano 2018

"I wanted to add how wonderful a time we had.. mixing the holiday with the festival was perfect. The “Le Muse” hotel was really nice, a hotel to live in, nice people, traditional building but with good facilities. Charles is perfect. If we are able, we will be back next year! Oh dear I'm gushing"
"Absolutely brilliant... loads of things done, but very relaxed".
"This to say thanks to you from us both for a really wonderful holiday. We found it a joy to meet so many interesting and friendly people from all quarters. The Hotel was ideal, very friendly staff , and easy walk to all locations which was a joy. Helen wishes to say that she learnt such a lot from Charles". Chris - Fabriano 2018
