Getting around the town

Everything is walkable. There are small shops, churches, restaurants, library, a post office, bakery, ATM, and a lovely cafe.

Daily to and from classes is quite reasonable but all guests need to be independent in getting about. It may take you longer – that is fine, but we ask that you plan for it and leave for class early.

We have to insist that you do not rely on other students to be your physical support. If a venue is particularly far, we are able to offer a lift to those who need it.

Depending on the time of the year, the weather is changeable, so come prepared for rain or shine. In the spring and fall, the evenings could be chilly, so bring light layers, a scarf/shawl, sweater, and a waterproof/wind jacket. The winter bring proper winter attire.

Comfortable, sturdy shoes are a must on cobbled, uneven, and hilly streets. Hiking boots are not necessary, trainers are fine – but do bring them. Sandals are not suitable for hiking.

A notebook, your phone, and pen/pencils are the only material you need to bring, other learning materials are provided and we do not follow a specific text book.

The B&B provides WiFi for emails and WhatsApp, not for downloading.

WhatsApp is very useful for daily notices, so please download the App before you come and ideally have Wifi access on your phone.
