How to get there

Accommodation

  • Guesthouse of Villa del Grumello

A limited number of shared rooms (2- or 4-bed rooms) will be available at the guesthouse of Villa del Grumello. The rate is 45 euros per night per person (VAT included; breakfast not included; a kitchen for self-preparing breakfast is available). Please notice that only shared accommodation with other students will be allowed (no accompanying persons).

  • Ostello Bello

The youth hostel Ostello Bello offers a low-price accommodation. The hostel is 15 minutes on foot from Villa del Grumello. Ostello Bello is a quite convenient solution for the students participating in schools organized at Villa del Grumello, however, the city of Como is highly demanded from tourists during the summertime and we suggest to book this accommodation in advance.
There is a special agreement with Ostello Bello: https://ostellobello.com/en/hostel/como/.
Please use the discount code “Volta” when booking online in order to get a 15% discount on the regular fare!

IMPORTANT NOTICE for all school lecturers and attendees:

We have been informed that someone tried to contact school speakers and attendees offering travel arrangements (hotel and flight booking) on behalf of the school secretariat, asking for credit card details in order to proceed.

THIS IS A FRAUD: these agencies are by no means authorized by the school.
