A day-by-day schedule is available on this page. A detailed itinerary—including class times, meals, sightseeing activities, and free time—will be provided before departure. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.

You can pay the deposit by credit card (400€ for a single room and 300€ for a double room). The remaining balance will be divided into two installments, which can be paid by credit card. More details about the payment schedule will be provided once the trip is confirmed.

You can pay the deposit starting on Saturday, June 14. Once you have paid the deposit and the trip is confirmed, you will be required to pay the remaining balance in two installments. The two installments are divided as follows:

• For a single room, the first installment of €1,859 is due by March 13, 2026, and the second installment of €1,240 is due by July 13, 2026.
• For a double room, the first installment of €1,259 is due by March 13, 2026, and the second installment of €840 is due by July 13, 2026. 
• For a single room in Trullo, the first installment of €1,979 is due by March 13, 2026, and the second installment of €1,320 is due by July 13, 2026.

No, the trip is not automatically confirmed upon payment of the deposit. The trip will be confirmed only once the minimum number of participants has been reached. You will receive an official confirmation email at that time, and only then should you proceed with booking your flights to Italy.

The deposit is non-refundable. However, if the trip is canceled by the organizers or is not confirmed, we will refund 100% of the deposit. For this reason, we strongly recommend waiting for our confirmation email before booking your flights. Please note that the deposit amount is 300€ per person for a double room and 400€ for a single room.

Please send an email to info@linguatravel.com, and we will guide you through the cancellation process in accordance with our partner agency’s cancellation policies. The deposit and any installments already paid are non-refundable. For example, if you have paid the deposit and the first installment but cancel before paying the second, you will not be required to pay the remaining installment, but you will not be refunded the amounts already paid. For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance in your home country.

If the trip is canceled by the organization, a full refund will be issued. 

No, travel and medical insurance are not included in the cost of the trip. However, we strongly recommend that you purchase suitable coverage before departure.

Transportation during the trip is included in the package. However, transportation to and from the accommodation is not included. A transfer from Central Station in Bari (the city’s central train station) to Tenuta Monacelle will be available for an additional fee. More details about this service will be provided a few months before departure.

We will arrange a group transfer from Bari to Tenuta Monacelle on the first day of the trip, and another from Tenuta Monacelle back to Bari on the last day. This is the easiest and most convenient way to reach the venue. More detailed information will be shared in the coming months.

Tenuta Monacelle features an old village with original trulli dating back to the 1700s. Trulli are conical stone structures typical of the Puglia region. They tend to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Since these are original, historic buildings, they do not have air conditioning, however trulli are equipped with a fan to stay cool. All trulli maintain their original furnishings and include a bathroom with a toilet, bidet, sink, and shower. Staying in a trullo will offer you a truly authentic pugliese experience!

If you are traveling alone but have booked a double room, we will assign you a roommate of the same gender. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people who share your passion for Italy and the Italian language.

Yes, absolutely! During the booking process, you will be able to purchase two tickets together to share a room with your partner. Please note: Since this is a study trip, both participants must be studying Italian and share a passion for Italy.

Absolutely! Before the trip, we will send you a form to fill out, where you can indicate any dietary preferences, restrictions or allergies. We will make sure that the facility is informed and can accommodate your needs.

No, but participants must be at least 18 years old!

Unfortunately, refunds are not available for specific activities that you choose not to participate in.

As our participants come from all over the world, the requirements for entering Italy may vary depending on your country of origin. It is your responsibility to verify whether you only need a passport or if you also require a visa or other documents to enter Italy.

You will be traveling with others who, like you, share a passion for Italy and are studying Italian. A few weeks prior to the trip, we will give you access to a WhatsApp group where you can start connecting with your fellow travelers and get to know them better.

If you encounter any issues before the trip, simply send an email to info@linguatravel.com, and we will be happy to assist you.
