Participants will stay in a large apartment in the heart of Ortigia, the historical center of Siracusa, each bedroom with its own bathroom. The newly renovated apartment, located in a building that was once an abbey, is just down the street from the Siracusa Opera House, the Ortigia Duomo with its ancient temple of Athena, and steps from breathtaking sea views and swimming spots. The Ortigia outdoor food market, a short walk away, has the freshest offering of local fish, vegetables and fruit so you can cook your own meals in the comfort and privacy of our "Sicilian home."

*Late registrants will be housed nearby in the annex, in the event the main apartment is filled.

Workshops and readings will be conducted in the central living room space.
