Where to stay?
Customers on Yalla Dog tours have a variety of options for accommodation which we can obtain at good prices.
Choices include: 3, 4 or 5* Hotels, Bed and Breakfast, Apartment rental or staying up at the Villa where we paint in Galuzza.
About the Villa
If you would like the convenience of staying at the villa just outside Florence where the painting workshop is usually held we have a two bedroom , two bathroom apartment – ideal for two couples or a group of friends who want to attend the workshop together -available for ‚¬1,500 per week.
It is a beautiful location to paint in and also has some stunning views from the gardens and orchards surrounding it is very close to Florence so we can travel back into the City in the evenings – to eat, go to concerts – or even take dancing lessons!
