This is the single-room option for the school’s shared apartment accommodation, in which you’ll have your own personal space to sleep and work in. The flat itself will be shared with other residents, who could be anyone ranging from families, single people, and Italian or foreign students.
The flats are located in the centre, and the school is just a short walk away - and an even shorter bus ride if you prefer. The rooms are not uniform in size, so there is some variation in the dimensions, depending on the exact location and what is available at the time of booking.
Arrivals are accepted on Sundays between 18:00 and 20:00, and departures before 12:00 on Sundays.
Single room with half-board daily from EUR 55.
