General Information
The school is held at the Brandolini Colomban Castle in Cison di Valmarino, 40 kilometers north of Treviso, in Veneto, in the north-east of Italy. The castle is now a hotel with meeting, sporting, recreational and well-being facilities.
Accommodation
Accommodation in a double room is 172€ per person (course participant only), per day, which includes full board. A small number of single rooms can be booked at an extra charge on a first-come first-served basis. More information can be found in the course application form and in the hotel accommodation form in the application section of the website. We recommend staying at the Hotel CastelBrando, which is also the course venue. However, students may book other accommodation, but should always book at least half board at the castle (see "FOOD & BEVERAGE SERVICES (WITHOUT STAY)" in the accommodation form.

Cancellation Policy
A cancellation arriving to the Summer School administrator by 31th of March 2025 will entitle the applicant to a full refund of the tuition, after withholding the deposit fee (200€). A cancellation arriving after this time, but still before the start of the course, will entitle the applicant to receive a 50% refund of the tuition, after withholding the deposit fee (200€). So, in both cases the deposit fee (200 €) will not be refundable. In all other cases (including no-shows, premature departure) the tuition will not be reimbursed. Cancellation must be made in writing. In the unlikely event that a course(s) needs to be canceled, the School will make this decision as early as possible and will notify the students. In no event will the School be responsible for costs incurred by canceled travel reservations.
