Why us?

WHAT MAKES BELLISSIMA... BLISS-FUL?

Picture

Every retreat is unique

...because you get to tell us what you want.
​

You read that right. Our goal is for you to make every second count, so we specifically craft your retreat experience based on input from you. Why? Because it’s your retreat! More alone time? Less alone time? More art and wine?
​What looks like bliss to you?

We can actually teach
​you to paint

If you need instruction, that is. We know some of you just want to be released to do your thing & by all means, we will release you. BUT, if you fall more into the "I love the idea of an art retreat, but I may or may not be artistically inclined"...we got this! We love to teach beginners--in fact, we do it for a living. Just ask any of our fans and students.

Both of us have traveled extensively

We know the ins & outs of international and domestic travel. You don’t have to think or worry about all those pesky details. We do it for you! Our travel savvy makes for a smooth and stress-free experience for our guests.

Both of us have lived in Italy

​We are just that cool. No, but really. This gives us invaluable insight on how to navigate the language (Chelsea speaks fluent Italian! Christi's...uh...working on it--"sto imparando"), culture, and find the hidden treasures of the Italian country, villages and coastlines that will make your retreat totally brag-worthy.

We're super fun to be around

Duh. Isn’t it obvious by now? Seriously though, we are easy-going, we love to laugh, we welcome adventures, and we adore people. We balance each other well--a perfect mix of spontaneity, planning, history, and awesome tour guide, with a dash of practicality.

We pick beautiful places

Whether it’s the Central Coast of California or the rolling hills of the Italian countryside, we have an intense appreciation for beauty, history, and the transformative power of making space for creativity and an intention of reviving the real you. Oh, and FOOD. We love good food.
