OUR CULTURAL EXCURSIONS
 Important part of our courses are guided tours. Each course includes a number between 3 and 8, plus some optional excursions. It depends on the duration of your stay. They will be a full day and half-day excursion, all included in the course. The destination will depend on the season, and we are available to the student’s suggestions about what to see. Further details will be given during the courses and in the calendar.
In addition to the guided tours we would like to remaind students that they will be able to move around easily by bus or by train. Especially in summer it is possible to get the beach of Casalbordino (which is just 5 km away) by bus, car or even by bycicle.
