Shared Housing

Participants stay in apartments or houses that are available in the town of San Gemini. The apartments vary as we renew rental contracts with whatever is available to us every year. The conditions can differ, but all provide basic, comfortable living conditions in the historic center of San Gemini. These shared rooms are priced affordably at $750 per program.

Most of the accommodations are in medieval buildings that have very thick walls, which can keep living quarters cool on hot days, but cold on wet days. Most do not have air conditioning. All accommodations are within walking distance to classrooms and the center of town.

Shared Housing Includes:

  • Shared bedrooms that can vary from two to three beds

  • Shared bathrooms

  • Kitchens with basic cooking utensils

  • Laundry (washing machine and hang-dry)

  • Weekly change of linen (bed sheets and one bath towel)

All-gender housing is available. This allows participants to reside with other participants regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender, gender identity, or gender expression. Participants can choose between Women Only, Men Only and All Gender choices of housing.

Single room accommodations

Private rooms within a shared apartment (sharing bathroom and kitchen) is also available. The fee for this option is an additional $250 per program ($1,000 total), but the cost will also depend on the availability.
