The Centro itself is a medieval building and the rooms are 'rustic' with old wooden beams and old terracotta tiled floors:
1 double room (double bed + single bed), private shower room
1 double room (over size single bed + single bed), private shower room
1 double room (2 single beds)
5 single rooms (one of which is on the ground floor and has a large - though not double - bed). All except one of these single rooms has a basin, though with only cold water.

There are 3 communal bathrooms. There is a pleasant upstairs kitchen for the students' use. Downstairs there is an art library/dining room/sitting area (picture on web site) with WiFi connection, and the painting studios. There is also a large room which we use for lectures, slide shows, DVDs etc. There is an outdoor terrace with a panoramic view (pictures on the web site). On the lower floor there are the sculpture studios and the plunge pool (photo on web site)
The rest of the accommodation is in the 'Annex' which is an apartment with slightly more 'modern' accommodation:
1 double room (2 single beds)
4 single rooms
3 communal shower rooms
kitchenette area for use of students.

The rooms are all very simply appointed - comfortable but no frills. Some of the rooms have views onto the landscape, and some onto our small street or the piazzetta at the front. Casole is a hill top town, so there are inevitably frequent stairs and slopes. The Centro is not suitable for people with disabilities. Anyone using the downstairs bedroom in the Centro still has to go upstairs to a shower room. We can arrange other accommodation in various apartments in the village if anyone required more independent accommodation. There is a hotel 2 minutes from the Centro with more luxurious accommodation.

WE can arrange transfers from airports (nearest and most convenient is Pisa) with minibuses, though that would be an extra cost. Casole is a very friendly village, and there are plenty of facilities: 3 bars (one with internet), restaurant, pizzeria, 2 alimentari shops, 2 banks, a pharmacy, ironmongers, 2 hairdressers. There is the convenience of civilisation with the landscape within easy walking distance. there is an extensive description of the village and plenty of photos on the web site.
