Accommodation
Rooms are on the 2nd or 3rd floors, have double beds and private bathrooms. Towels, hairdryers, soap/shower gel are provided. Hand-washing facilities are available, or we offer a laundry service at €12 per load.
Breakfast and one main meal per day are included. On weekdays you’ll generally be left to your own devices for lunch in your B&B or at a local eatery. We ask for your dietary requirements on registration and can accommodate most diets. The local diet is simple and based around pasta, cheese and dairy and we provide a variety of vegetarian dishes.
THE REGION & ENVIRONMENT
On average we cover 6.5k (4 m) per day walking between venues and events. Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a must on cobbled, uneven, and hilly streets. Hiking boots are not necessary, trainers are fine – but do bring them. Sandals are not suitable for hiking.
Lessons
Weekday lessons in 2 groups with 2 teachers take up the mornings.
Just bring a notebook and pen/pencils, or buy what you need at La Libreria in town. Other learning materials are provided and we do not follow a specific text book.
Your B&B provides WiFi for emails and WhatsApp, not for downloading. Caffè Letterario, our general meeting point, has good WiFi.
WhatsApp is very useful for daily notices, so please download the App before you come and ideally have Wifi access on your phone.
