Accommodations and Facilities

Students reside in Casa Vostra, which is surrounded by gardens, fountains and farmlands. Antique furniture and paintings decorate the rooms, all with private bathrooms. Students will have use of an Olympic-sized mineral water pool built in 1929, a drawing room, kitchen, solarium, breakfast terrace, jogging track, laundry facilities, Internet access and fax machine.

Breakfast and lunch are included, as are several group dinners prepared by Villa Lina's chefs, who use organic fruits and vegetables from the farm.
Villa Lina is an 80 acre farming estate in the heart of Etruscan Tuscia, with a late 19th century botanical garden and a "giardino all'italiana" created in the 1930's. The Villa is within walking distance of the medieval town of Ronciglione and three miles from the secluded beaches in the Natural Reserve of the Lake of Vico, where students can go to paint. From the Villa's gate, a bus will take you to Rome in 50 minutes.

Villa Lina is surrounded by wonderful Etruscan sites (Norchia, San Giuliano, Mitrea and the Etruscan Theatre of Sutri), medieval villages (San Martino al Cimino, Tuscania) and Renaissance villas (Villa Lante in Bagnaia, Farnese Palace of Caprarola).
