Lodging is available from the day before the beginning of the course to the day after the end of the course (27 nights). The kitchen and the bathroom are shared (in common). The house is furnished and provided with linen and towels.

Single room € 450 - 500 per month*

Double room € 350 per month* (per person)

* Sometimes utilities (such as light, water and gas) are included; sometimes utilities must be paid separately (about € 40-50 euros per month/each person).

INDEPENDENT FLATS

Lodging is available from the day before the beginning of the course to the day after the end of the course (27 nights). Most of the apartments are situated in the historic centre of Florence. When there are a large number of requests, the school may offer apartments outside the historic centre that can be easily reached from the school (20 minutes walking or 5 minutes by bus).

Students are advised to reserve accommodation at least two months prior to the beginning of studies.

Prices start from € 850 per month* (utilities such as water and gas are not included).

* Some owners require a deposit that is refunded before the student leaves.

HOTEL - RESIDENTIAL HOTEL

The Secretariat can reserve hotel accommodations on request at reduced prices.

PLEASE NOTE:

After the student has sent the enrolment form and proof of payment has been received, the Secretariat can begin looking for accomodation.

The student will receive an e-mail with the description of the housing option. If the accommodation is satisfactory to the student, he/she will receive another e-mail with all the details on how to get in contact with the owner/family. From this moment on, the parties will negotiate directly between themselves.

Students must clearly inform the owner/family about the day and the hour of their arrival.

Payment for accommodations is made directly to the owner/family, usually within three days of arrival.
