Workshop Cost And What It Includes:

The cost covers instruction for a one week or ten day workshop, the evening meal, and transportation on field trips. We’ll work in Cortona, in the surrounding landscape, and take field trips to various hill towns or cities, such as Montepulciano or Siena.

Accommodations:

Because of fluctuations in the USD rate we have separated the cost of hotel accommodations from our fee and reduced the overall workshop cost. We will help you book a room at the Hotel Italia at a 10% discount. Then each student is responsible for contacting the hotel and making credit card payment arrangements.

We recommend Hotel Italia at present. It is still rated as a 3 Star but since its complete renovation is nicer than the other 4 Star hotels in Cortona.

The Italia is a historic building that has been completely refurbished. Each room has a modern bath. There is a beautiful roof top dining area for breakfast that over looks red tile roof tops and the valley of Valdiciana. Breakfast is included in the Italia’s discounted rate.

It is located yards from Piazza Repubblica, the town center and a place of everyday social gatherings, and special events. Sidewalk cafes, shops, theater, and restaurants are within easy walking distance. The Hotel Italia’s location situates you in a great area for candid street photography which is a vital part of your total experience and planned agenda.
A list of Cortona hotels is available by request. If you choose another hotel you should handle the reservation on your own.
