Art Holidays at a riverside location in the Algarve countryside, perfect for plein air painting and exploring the region. Expert art tuition, beautiful, natural surroundings for inspiration, an open-air studio beneath the carob trees - all this and more on an Art Holiday by Figs on the Funcho.
Considered one of the
best Art Escapes in 2019 by Simon Heptinstall, Figs on the Funcho is a beautiful riverside property just 20 minutes drive from the gorgeous coast. Recent winner of the
Lux Life Hospitality award for Most Idyllic Riverside Retreat, it is peaceful and private, overlooking the River Funcho, and with wonderful vistas across the countryside. The open-air deck, with elevated views and shaded by carob trees, is the studio. Inspiration is all around, in the magnificent sunsets and the trees swaying in the breeze.
Immersed in the natural surroundings,
Figs on the Funcho is the perfect getaway from the busy bustle of urban living, allowing you to reconnect with nature and to explore your creativity in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The aim is to help enhance your artistic skills and develop your creative practices, all the while providing a relaxed and comfortable ambiance for you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
In addition to the daily art tuition, there is ample time to take leisurely walks in the surrounding countryside or to simply sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.
And after a day of creativity you are invited to join a serene yoga session on the deck, beneath the carbo trees.
Figs on the Funcho also hosts regular
Cooking Holidays, where you can be inspired by Mediterranean flavours in beautiful surroundings.
