The Student Experience
In the Words of our Student Visitors
"The best compliment one can pay individuals is to say we want to come back. It felt like 'being with family'. I cannot express my appreciation without acknowledging the exceptional hospitality of Mina, Biagio, and all the residents of the Villa who opened their doors to us. I wish to thank you for a truly unique visit!! Now, the question is: when can I come back?"
"I was overwhelmed with the wonderful support I had from Mina and staff to enable me to maintain a gluten free diet. The food I was served was excellent throughout! Mina's staff really made my stay comfortable and memorable."
"Grazie mille! This is a beautiful place and the staff is so kind! My only regret is that we didn't have a longer program. I'd love to come and stay here again if I'm lucky enough to go on another Villa Vergiliana tour."
