Pricing Information:
Week-long courses:
1695 Euro per person
This is our premium product and what we do best (if only because you’ll have the time to really get a sense of the place and the people here). Price covers everything except lodging and Thursday's dinner, once you arrive in Lecce (most go out for pizza as a group). Course begins Sunday night and runs until Friday night, although we help you with your Saturday departure.

Weekend courses:
795 Euro per person
A teasing taste of what we do. Price covers everything lodging, once you arrive in Lecce. Courses start at 8:00 p.m. on Friday night runs until Sunday evening, around midnight.
Day courses:
295 Euro per person
For those just travelling through. Price covers all lessons and meals (but not transportation nor lodging). These courses tend to be for those already in Lecce, often for other reasons. We meet at 10 a.m. in the city’s main piazza and go until midnight, often taking a 3-hour break in the centre of the day.

"Specializing in small, intimate hands-on classes based on personalised instruction and individual attention."
