An Art Retreat with Conte
Discover the Art Holiday Designed by You, for You
Welcome to holidays inspired by art, and allow Conte, part of the Conte Club group, to show you the incredible histories, cities and landscapes that created our most treasured artists. Here, inspiration isn't something you chase - it naturally emerges in conversations with master artisans, in quiet moments of observation, and in the joy of creating alongside fellow artists. Whether you're a lifelong creator or just beginning to explore your artistic voice, these are places where art isn't just something you observe - it's a way of experiencing the world.
Sleep Well | Artists' Hotels & Historic Studios
From Georgia O'Keeffe's beloved Ghost Ranch in New Mexico to artist-designed ryokans in Naoshima, Japan's art island, to a gallery that rivals that of our most beloved international art institutions at hotel Villa La Coste, Conte's curated properties celebrate artistic heritage. Each tells its own creative story - whether overlooking murals in Mexico City or housed in converted Industrial Age studios in Berlin's gallery district.
Dine Well | Art at the Centre of Cuisine
Experience the intersection of food and art worldwide with Conte. Dine among Ai Wei Wei installations in Beijing, enjoy chef collaborations with local artists in Melbourne's gallery districts, or feast at historic cafés where the Beat poets gathered in San Francisco in a truly bespoke art retreat itinerary, designed for your interests.
Live Well | Art Experiences with Conte
With Conte, immerse yourself in hands-on artistry - from fresco painting workshops in Tuscan villas to private conservation workshops in the Louvre and contemporary sculpture courses in the studios of Barcelona.
