Sarteano has several hotels to choose from that are walking distance from the workshop.

The Residenza Santa Chiara is a lovely former convent with an elegant old world feel where you may choose to B&B or half-board. The Residenza also has a fabulous restaurant that recently opened its own Jazz Club Friday evenings. You can listen to live jazz and enjoy dinner outside in the garden. It is the closest hotel to the workshop.

Albergo Roberta is owned and managed by a couple that was trained by one of the larger hotel chains. Their experience and love for what they do is apparent from the moment you are greeted. They also have one apartment for our participants, very close to the hotel and you will have the opportunity to either B&B or half-board at the Albergo, with incredible meals that are handmade by Felice, one of the owners. The Albergo is around a 15 minute walk from the Workshop. Call or email Nadia for information and prices.

And a private apartment:

Casa Sarteano, a beautiful apartment on the top floor of the historical Palazzo Gabrielli, sleeps 6 and is located a few steps from the town's main square. This spacious home has a private balcony with a lovely view..

Driving to the Workshop

La Torre ai Mari is in an exquisite location surrounded by the beautiful countryside. It is an 8-10 minute drive from the main parking areas. It has tennis courts and an outdoor pool with a panoramic view. You can choose to B&B here or enjoy a half-board situation.

Because of its many medieval festivals and nightly celebrations, Sarteano is a popular destination in August. The famed Giostra del Saracino (Joust of the Saracen) takes place every year on August 15th. Within a short driving distance there are several other hotels and agriturismo that can be accessed by using one of the many search engines and looking under "Sarteano Hotels" or "Sarteano Agriturismo" or go to this link.

For those of you who are bringing along the family to sightsee while you're in class, and you'd like to be further out in the countryside, you can go to www.tuscany-inside-out.com, where there are two lovely homes available to rent.
