Accommodations and the
Setting |
|
Accommodation and lectures for the Gardone program are
at the Locanda agli Angeli, on Lake Garda, in the
foothills of the Alps in northern Italy. Rooms are
mostly doubles, with bath. A limited number of singles
is available. The Locanda is located in Gardone Sopra, a
ten minute walk from the lakefront. Special
arrangements, at different prices, can be made for those
who wish to stay and take their meals in one of the many
higher quality hotels in Gardone or Salò. Arrangements
to arrive earlier or stay later, at additional cost, may
be made through the director.
Gardone is within easy traveling distance of Verona,
Venice, Trent, Brescia, Milan, Ravenna, Pavia and Padua.
In years past, participants have rented cars to tour the
area, taken boat trips on the lake and attended the
opera in Verona. The region offers opportunities for
swimming, hiking, biking, boating and scenic walks. The
lectures are scheduled in such a way as to allow time
for recreation and sightseeing.
Space for the Rome program has been reserved at the
Villa Bassi, in an excellent location on the Gianiculum
in Rome, from June 14th through 21st. Accommodation at
the Bassi is basic, with facilities outside the rooms.
Those wishing to stay at higher quality hotels at a
higher price may do so through the Institute. Hotels for
the week from June 21st through the 28th are three and
four stars.
