When the rest of Europe is still in cold winter time, almond trees are flourishing at  splending 17 century fortified Castle "Masseria Salaminaina".

In March and April grass is light green and high and there is light  overtaking sweet perfume of flowers everywhere.

For those joining us in September, we will also be able to use the swimming pool at Masseria Salamina and we will go painting to the beach and fishman villages.

And we will be there to paint and enjoy all this magic beauty.

There will be lots of inspiring scenes for you to paint.

Masseria Salamina is ideal place for you to enjoy a holiday  out in the countryside with good natural food and the pleasure of living, as in old times.
