where to find Guitar Breaks:

In Italy:
​Lippiano, Umbria/Tuscany border

Guitar Breaks is based on the Tuscany - Umbria border in the heart of Italy at the stunning Villa Pia family hotel, a traditional 15th century Italian manor house.

​Set in its own grounds and next to a medieval castle in the hilltop village of Lippiano, Villa Pia is the perfect 'get away' location. See video below to discover more about Lippiano!

Guitar Breaks is based in the heart of Brighton, on the south coast of England. 
An exciting and vibrant seaside city, Brighton is the home to a fantastic music scene. Guitar Breaks with Andy Guitar is based at the boutique Pelirocco Hotel  and our workshops are being held with our friends at WaterBear College, and the Brighton Electric Studios,  an iconic rehearsal and recording complex. 

In the UK:
Farnham, Surrey

We love Farnham for a whole bunch of reasons. The main one being it is the home of Guitar Village, our favourite specialist guitar store!
​
When running our residential workshops here, we are based at the Bush Hotel, located right in the heart of this classic English market town. The Bush is stuffed full of 'oldy worldy' features and conveniently located with good travel connections.

discover Lippiano here:


​villa pia family hotel, lippiano

The Villa Pia family hotel is a complex of traditional buildings located at one end of Lippiano village.
For sleeping accommodation we use 'Palazzo Regina', a traditionally restored classic Italian manor country house which can be found a short walk from the gates of Villa Pia. There is a living room and kitchen with a fridge which is constantly stocked to ensure that you have unlimited access to fresh fruit, beer, wine, tea and coffee and is a great place to relax should you need some private down time.

We also use en suite rooms located in the stunning Lippiano castle which is directly opposite Palazzo Regina and just a stone's throw from the main Villa Pia manor house where the swimming pool, tennis court and dining room are located.
​
​In the manor house there are communal rooms for dining as well as many other spaces to relax in with open fires and log burning stoves should the temperature drop in the autumn and spring. This all adds to the ambiance of being in Italy through its various seasons. Of course there is one very important thing not to forget:  the food. The meals are exceptional, from the hot lunchtime buffet to the four course waitress-served meal in the evenings.
