italian holidays with a difference

en garde in Italy

This week is specifically designed for advanced fencers interested in an intensive Épée Advanced Training Course although we encourage partners and friends to come along too as there will be plenty of time to enjoy the dolce vita in this beautiful location in Umbria, Italy.
Your base is the elegant and historic country residence, Villa Pianciani, set upon a hilltop offering 360º views across to Trevi, Spoleto and beyond. Besides fencing tuition (4 hrs/day on 6 days) with Maitre d´Armes Priscille Lapoutge, there will be informal and intimate concerts - classical music and opera - throughout the week, and visits to nearby mediaeval towns. Have fun learning Italian cooking, walk amongst the nearby olive groves, and relax with a good book on the magnificent terrace with the Rocca Albornoziana in the distance.

Places for fencers limited to 12.
