During our usual summer seasons our team of students and staff enjoy staying in the vibrant district of Trastevere in Rome. From there it's easy to explore the city and beyond.

While our students are based in Rome being in the heart of Italy provides an excellent staging point for trips out to explore more of the country! Be it a cycle out along the Appian Way, a day trip out to Orvieto or a weekend holiday in Ravenna or Florence opportunities abound!
