Masseria Impissi is an inspiring fortified farmhouse (as seen on Grand Designs) 3 km from historic city of Ostuni and 1 km from the Adriatic sea. Set amid acres of olive groves, the beautiful gardens are dotted with our hosts David Westby's sculptures and Leonie Whitton's mosaics. They have recently added a new sun deck by the fresh water pool and opened an art gallery and games room down in the Messapian cave under the main house. 

Chalk the Sun founder, Ardella Jones will be mentoring the writers this year with special attention to the needs of novelists. We hope editor and children's publisher Simona Sideri MA will be doing a Q&A and one-to-ones (TBC).
