Program weeks occur in the Spring and Fall months, or when the teacher/artist is available.

Costs:  For the most part, prices are in Euros, because all costs are calculated in euros.  Dollar equivalent is figured at time of each  payment (deposits and final balance due).    The printed prices were set almost a year in advance of  the program year; therefore, we reserve the right to add a surcharge if  local prices increase substantially.

Payments:  There is a non-refundable registration fee of €200, which secures your place in the program.  The courses are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.   The registration fee is accepted only if there are spaces remaining in the desired course, otherwise it is returned.  This €200 fee is considered part of  the program cost.

Deposit 1:  Made at time of registration or immediately after.  A letter will list details.  This deposit will be 25% or 50% of program cost, depending upon time intervening between payment and class start date.  If Deposit 1 is made more than  4 months prior to class start date, 25% deposit is required.
Deposit 2:  Made only if  Deposit 1 is 25% of program cost.  This payment is due 4 months before class start date.  If deposit 2 is made, it is 50% of program cost. 
Balance due:  Made 60 days before class start date, this payment is the balance due of the program cost,.

Invoices will be made at the appropriate intervals, using the currency conversion rate of the date that the invoice is produced.  Unless otherwise indicated on the invoice,  remittance is due within 30 days.

Payment can be made on-line through Paypal or with old-fashioned checks, made out to Tuscany:  A Journey for the Senses  LLC and mailed to Joan Hill, Tuscany Journey, P.O. Box 1605, North Eastham, MA  02651.

Cancellations:
Your entire deposit, minus the €200 registration fee, will be returned to you, if you cancel 60 days or more before class start date.    If you cancel your place in the class less than 60 days before class start date, you forfeit all monies paid to date.    Extreme medical emergencies will be the only exception to this rule.

Medical and Physical Needs:
We will try to accommodate all individuals.   Italy has an "ADA"  law, but it applies only to new and restored buildings.    We ask that you be honest with us about your medical needs and with any problems you might encounter; we will, in turn, be honest with you about how your problems might affect the enjoyment of the trip.  Because we are small, we can be flexible.  If someone needs medical care, we have several doctors and medical facilities at our disposal.
