Have you longed to visit Italy for years and love the art of writing? Blend these two passions this September and take the plunge. Spend a week on Lake Como with fellow travel inspired women and the creative team behind Italy, in Other Words.

Kathryn Abajian is thrilled to announce a new Villa location for 2015 in Varenna, a charming town on Lake Como in the Lombardy region, just north of Milan.

The Villa Monastero, a former nunnery and noble home featuring stunning botanical gardens and an art-filled Villa, will be the relaxing setting for lodging and instruction.
