Italian hosts/Private households:
Stay with local hosts in a single or shared room (shared rooms only available, if travelling with a friend or family member). On a B&B or half-board basis. All hosts are within walking or easy bus commute from the college (allow up to 30 mins).
Shared apartments:
Apartments are around 15 to 30 minutes from the college and are generally shared with other students (but can be with local Italians). Students have access to the kitchen and a shared bathroom. The apartments are simple but clean. NB: Telephones are unlikely to be available. Only students aged 18+ can stay in apartments, younger students must stay with local hosts or Hotels with their own family. A damages deposit and money to cover amenties will be required once in Italy.
Private apartments:
Fully furnished sole occupancy apartments for one or two people, generally let on a 4 week plus basis (2 or 3 weeks sometimes possible). Utilities at extra cost. A damages deposit will be required on arrival. Please book well in advance.
Studio Residence:
The residence consists of private, sole occupancy studios with a bath, kitchenette, telephone, internet access, air conditioning and Sat TV. Studios are very popular and we suggest early reservations (this becomes essential during the summer months). The residence is only 2/3 minutes walk from the college.
Hotels:
There are plenty of very central Hotels to choose from. Please specify the style of room and price range required when booking.
