Thanks for another fantastic  course and special  birthday.

Great holiday,  teaching plus  kind guidance, food and wine.  Thanks to all, especially Jane and Mike, for always being such good hosts.

It was an exceptional week. I’ve even called it magical and that’s not a word that is usually in my vocabulary. Thank you !!!

I admire what you and Jane created in Barga.

Quattro Archi provides a comprehensive art experience, with expert instructors, ample studio space, equipment, and supplies and, most of all, a warm and welcoming environment, thanks to you and Jane. The rooms on-site are just-right and the breakfasts delightful. You have thought of everything a traveling artist might need - even the washing machine. Thank you for the amazing experience!

It was an extraordinary experience- the setting, accommodations, learning, people, food, etc. Thanks to all for a memorable experience.

It is a creative oasis of well-being.

Thank you again to you and Jane for having me. I had a lovely time with everyone in your beautiful home in Barga. It's perfect. 

What a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was! I think you’ve got the balance just right. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious, the welcome warm and whole hearted. The location couldn’t be better, characterful and breathtakingly beautiful! The experiences of bells, jazz, restaurants and market delightful! My only frustration was a desire to wander at will and explore the locality more than time allowed, all those ‘vias’ crying out to be explored! I certainly hope to return at some point and enjoy another immersive creative experience at QA. 

The magic and peacefulness of the terrace and the ease of being able to create lunches in the kitchens, the little touches like having wine we could buy to avoid carrying and the unobtrusive kindness and care from Michael and Jane.

I enjoyed it all. If I come back, it will be in slightly cooler months. But that’s not really anything you could change…🤨

The most wonderful place 2 mins from the magical Duomo, diving swifts and dark cypresses. The building was marvellous and fabric sessions terrific! And lovely town full of great eating places. The swim was a joy , as was the company, kindness and fun.

Great venue, wonderful hill village and memorable views.  Friendly welcome, great tuition and great breakfasts on that wonderful terrace. Good selection of places to wander and eat.  Thanks so much.

Thoroughly enjoyed another week in lovely Barga with you both. Fantastic group that were so interesting and great to work with. Enjoyed learning the process of silk scarf making -very interesting and some great ideas! Loved my room with the view over the hills.  Eating out in Barga as always, a joy. 

I was very happy with the experience in Barga. You and Jane are fantastic hosts. I loved you both. Jane did a great job with the printing course. No complaints. Barga and your terrace are a great setting.

Huge thanks to Jane and Michael for hosting the course.  We learned a lot and we're constantly amazed by your energy and commitment.  Thanks also to our fellow lino cutters.  We enjoyed your company and good conversation. 

We really enjoyed the course, the hospitality and the lovely company. 

Many thanks to Mike and Jane for the warm hospitality and to Jane for delivering such an engaging course. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Such a fun-spirited artistic experience! Everything was “favoloso”. Thank you for the warm hospitality, excellent instruction, and lovely company.

This was the best art retreat I have attended. The combination of Jane’s teaching skills, encouragement and enthusiasm and Michael’s attentive hosting made for an excellent experience. The other artists and friends, the location and the art exhibition added to the delight. Thank you all. Hope to see you again in beautiful Barga.

Thank you all for making this a beautiful experience. Especially Jane for her calm and uplifting teaching and Michael for his hospitality.
