Where to Stay
Villa Rosa
This beautiful historic family-run hotel in the heart of the Chianti Classico region of rural Tuscany is located between Panzano in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, two of our favorite medieval hilltop towns. It is just a few minutes drive from cafes, restaurants and shops, and is across the valley from our farmhouse. You can relax in the beautiful swimming pool, chat with other students in the fairy tale courtyard, and enjoy spectacular views in every direction. The hotel grounds are surrounded by Il Molino di Grace winery vineyards).

Travel Advice
The nearest international airport is Florence, which is a one hour drive north of the workshop location. Bologna and Pisa airports are about two hours drive. In rural Tuscany having a car is the easiest way to get around.
