**There are still farm houses available on the property during the workshop. If you interested in renting a Farm House, check on farm house availability (see the layout of rooms, see photos), and make reservations, at: http://www.spannocchia.com/accommodations/ The farm houses are separate from the the rest of the reservations. You can sign up for all the meals at an additional cost of 40 Euro per person for three meals a day. We stayed in a farm house this past May and they are wonderful.
And e-mail at: reservations@spannocchia.org
Car rentals:
To rent a car, the best I have found, and have used twice is:
ABC Noleggio S.n.c. di Marco Righi
e Fabio Giannini
E-mail: info@abc-rent.com
Internet: http://www.abc-rent.com
The best way is to fly into Florence. I will send the hotel list to Marco (ABC Noleggio), and he will pick up the group and deliver them/us to Spannocchia, where he will have your rental car waiting. Just e-mail him and tell them you are in my workshop.
If you want to take the workshop, call me at 207-337-0714, or email me <mail@stanmoeller.com> asap to make arrangements. (If you are renting a farmhouse, let me know so I won't hold a room for you.)
If you want to get to Spannocchia earlier and or stay longer you can check on availability at http://www.spannocchia.com/accommodations/
Note: Remember rooms and car rental prices are in Euros, not dollars. The dollar is stronger now against the Euro. (Current Euro rate is @ $1=1.33E 8/06/10)
Let me know if you have any questions.
