Welcome to my handmade world

Rural Art Lab – Creativity and Craftsmanship in the Heart of the Countryside

The Rural Art Lab is the creative soul of Le Piracante — it brings life to every corner of our home, making it feel personal, vibrant, and unique.
It’s a widespread, ever-evolving lab made of ideas, reclaimed materials, inspiration, and ancient gestures reborn through new hands.

A handmade world, deeply rooted in our rural setting, reflected in our furnishings, decorations, and creative activities offered to our guests.

Creative and Hands-On Activities for Our Guests

While staying at Le Piracante, you can:

  • learn how to upcycle old objects or create new ones using recycled materials

  • sketch or paint outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of the hills

  • crochet, embroider, or make decorative items while chatting in the living room or courtyard

We often use materials sourced from nature or rescued items with a story: old furniture, wooden drawers, forgotten chandeliers, vintage frames.
Each object gets a second life — a new story to tell.

Nothing is thrown away. Everything can be transformed: even what seems old, broken, or worthless can become something meaningful, beautiful, and perfectly in tune with your personal style.

The Interiors of Le Piracante: Living, Functional Art

Many of the pieces decorating our guesthouse were created right here in our Rural Art Lab, such as:

  • wreaths hand-woven with pruned vines from our vineyard

  • old furniture and forgotten items turned into functional elements for the B&B

  • vintage lamps restyled in a country-chic way

  • handcrafted trays, candle holders, and artistic shelves

Every detail is made with love, patience, and a deep connection to the land.

Creativity to Take Home

The Rural Art Lab is more than a physical space — it’s a way of life.
An invitation to rediscover the value of hands, slow time, and the beauty of small things.

Take home something you’ve made yourself — or simply be inspired to give new life to something old.
Before throwing away that worn-out piece of furniture, come visit us. You might just discover a new way of seeing it.
