Brambles Art Retreat Kassiopi - Corfu
Seafront villas - beautiful accomodation
9th – 17th Oct – 2026
Join us for an inspiring painting retreat in beautiful Kassiopi, Corfu
Imagine painting with the sound of the sea just steps away, surrounded by unspoilt landscapes, glowing Mediterranean light, and the timeless charm of a traditional Greek village. This is Kassiopi, nestled in the northeast corner of the island of Corfu—an ideal setting for artists seeking both inspiration and relaxation.
Our painting retreats are designed to immerse you in the beauty of the island while helping you develop your artistic skills. The location offers a stunning variety of scenes to capture: dramatic seascapes, peaceful olive groves, charming towns, and ancient hilltop villages. Whether you’re drawn to wide-open views, intimate coastal corners, or the textured character of old stone buildings, there’s something here to ignite every painter’s imagination.
We’ve hosted many painting courses in this exact spot, and each trip has been a special experience. Many of our guests return again and again—for the art, the setting, and the warm sense of community we build together.
To make your experience as enjoyable as possible, we take care of the practical details: we organise airport transfers, provide a daily breakfast and *light lunch when at the accomodation. We arrange group dinners at some of the area’s best local restaurants—where you’ll enjoy fresh, authentic Greek cuisine in a relaxed setting. We also host 3 evening bbqs.
You’ll be supported by two experienced tutors, both passionate about sharing our knowledge and helping you grow your confidence and creativity. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned painter, you’ll find encouragement, guidance, and camaraderie throughout the week.
Janet Brady and Peter Davies have been teaching art for 21 years, two tutors share their expertise in oil, acrylic, watercolour, sketching, drawing and mixed media.

The trip to Marrakesh and Essaouira was a wonderful combination of art and tourism – a feast of colour, sights and smells in alleyways packed with spices, produce and craftwork bursting out of market stalls. Stunning public gardens, brilliant light. An enduring inspiration for artists.

There were inspirational views of Naples’ Bay to sketch and paint, from the hotel. Painting trips provided diversity in the ruins of Pompeii, the gardens of Ravello, the churches, and the ancient streets of Positano and Amalfi. Expert tuition was provided by our hosts Janet and Peter. A delightful trip.
