We have a special offer with La Gustea Guesthouse: 65 euros per person plus a 2 euros tax per person daily. Double occupancy. Includes breakfast. Single Occupancy also available as an upgrade (120 Euro/night). To lock in the discounted rates, you must email Nadia directly at info@lagustea.com.

The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the theater, rehearsal spaces, and historic center and close to restaurants, laundry, and more. Shuttle service is available for participants twice a day.

Alternate Accommodations:
Ai Lecci in Centro - a boutique hotel with a very limited number of rooms, A/C and a pool in the center of town. Provides breakfast, but no kitchen facilities. Excellent location right across from our Theater!
Some participants prefer staying at the Hotel Santa Chiara, which is close to the program’s locations (5 minute, but steep walk uphill) and has a very small number of rooms available in their 16th century former convent. Very historic and stunning location, but large windows instead of air-conditioning. Information on booking here: https://www.conventosantachiara.it/ NOTE: it is unclear if Santa Chiara is taking new reservations for 2026.
Claves Claustri apartments - rooms steps from the center of town. Very convenient, no A/C, but fans provided.
The Parco delle Piscine is a kind of glamping campsite! It rents mobile homes and includes a gorgeous pool and other facilities: https://parcodellepiscine.it/
Airbnb/VRBO: If you decide to look for your own apartment on Airbnb, Booking.com or VRBO and don’t want to have to rent a car, we suggest searching for any place in the "historic center" of Sarteano! You will be rehearsing mostly near the Teatro Comunale - Nuova Accademia degli Arrischianti, here: Piazza XXIV Giugno, 25, 53047 Sarteano SI, Italy. You can view this location on Google maps to get a good idea of the proximity to your potential apartment!
