What our guests have to say
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s some recent feedback from our guests!
For the fellow participants I can say: lovely people I've met and I felt as like in a big famly. Haven't laughed so much in a workshop before - over and beyond this week was unique. Thank you so much Ian - so much !!!!!!
My recent attendance at Guitar Breaks with Matt Schofield in Italy was the experience of a lifetime. As well as a week of expert tuition and playing with my guitar hero it was far more. The organisation and accommodation was excellent from start to finish and I made many new friends.
The week exceeded my already high expectations and I found the two tutors to be really pleasant people who really know and enjoy their work. Couldn’t recommend Guitar Breaks more highly and will be back in Lippiano in September.
I left inspired and with new friends and new skills. I'd recommend it to anyone at any level on their instrument, particularly those who value opportunities to play with other musicians.
Venue
Our venue and accommodation for this camp is the award-winning traditional 15th century Italian manor house Villa Pia Family Hotel located on the stunning Tuscany / Umbria border.
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. All payments include 6 nights accommodation, meals and drinks at the hotel, 5 days of specialist workshops and sessions.
