I live in a comfortable flat in the centre of Monsummano, with a big garden where it is possible to play at Ping Pong and do lessons, weather permitting. The flat is near to the library, the church and the Grotta Giusti which is famous for its thermal waters. You will have at your disposition a spacious room with a separate bathroom, a double bed, desk, television and a large cupboard. If you have a laptop you can link up to the internet anytime as the flat is wired to the Adsl. In the sitting room there is another television with a video and DVD player and a large video library with more than 200 titles of Italian films with which to practice your comprehension. On the terrace is an area – solarium where it is possible to sit out or to sunbathe. The kitchen is large and well equipped and every day you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with me, a useful way to practice the Italian that you have learnt during the day. In the evening you can have a drink in the bar near the house which is very popular locally. A good way to meet new friends and to reinforce your use of the Italian language. If you came by car you can park it in a private and protected area. It is possible to rent a car in the airports of Florence and Pisa. If you want to spend some days or weeks in Florence, I can provide you with comfortable accomodations at cheap prices (rooms, apartments or hotel).
