Art, Gastronomic and Cultural Holidays on the Adriatic coast
of Puglia in Southern Italy.
David and Leonie have been running Il Collegio Holidays in Italy for the past sixteen years. Originally based in Tuscany, they have now moved to the sunny, exotic 'heel' of Italy where they continue to provide friendly small-group holidays for people who want a genuine taste of the real Italy.
'PLEASURES OF PUGLIA' SPRING GASTRONOMIC AND CULTURAL HOLIDAYS providing the perfect introduction to this previously little known area of Italy. Bathed in sunshine for most of the year, with olive groves stretching along a coastline of tiny coves and long sandy beaches, it boasts one of the cleanest seas in Europe with a harvest of seafood that is the envy of the rest of Italy. Italians have long made it their favoured holiday destination and now with more cheap flights from the U.K. it is rapidly becoming a hot destination for gourmet travellers. Visit oil and wine making Fattorias , see beautiful Greco-Roman cities and mysterious ancient Trulli. And everywhere enjoy the wonderful local cuisine and rich strong wines which are becoming justly famous. You can relax in splendid accommodation at the 16thC. MASSERIA IMPISI, enjoy mouth-watering regional cooking and a full programme of visits and tours in our minibus with David as your expert guide and interpreter.
There is also a day of ‘hands-on’ cooking with a local chef.
Truly a holiday to remember.

Our well-loved and long established ART HOLIDAYS will be running in June/July and September. You can choose either a one or two week holiday.
There is time to get to know and understand your new environment, to decide what really interests you, to experiment and perhaps try new techniques, or develop your favourite medium so that you feel your work has really progressed. David is our resident tutor with many years teaching experience in U.K colleges and a respected professional artist. His talks and demos are always thought provoking, stimulating and helpful and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive, helping both advanced practitioners and complete beginners. Many of our visitors are booking repeat holidays already - the best form of recommendation

SELF CATERING and BED AND BREAKFAST.

Exclusive use of the pool and extensive gardens. Set in ancient olive groves Impisi is a short drive to the historic hill town of Ostuni and to the coastal beaches and fishing ports of the Adriatic. We can help you find watersports and sailing organisations and oil and wine tours can often be arranged. Guests should make their own travel arrangements whilst in Italy. It is advisable to organise car hire at the same time as flight bookings. Impisi is less than 30 minutes from Brindisi airport and just over the hour to Bari. Ryanair is still the most competitive carrier to Puglia.
