We will be staying near Pasiano di Pordenone in the Friuli-Venezia Giuliaregion of north-eastern Italy, which borders Austria to the north, Slovenia to the east, the Adriatic Sea to the south, and the Veneto region to the west.
WHEN? Tuesday 19th to Saturday 23rd April 2022
WHO? GBRT Adult Vocal Choir
WHERE? Hotel Villa Luppis - http://www.villaluppis.it/en/
The beautiful 4-star Hotel Villa Luppis is set in 12 acres of gardens. Formerly a Benedictine monastery, it is now an elegant hotel with stylish rooms and facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, spa and tennis courts, and indoor and outdoor spaces for socialising. This will be our base and rehearsal venue. We will travel by coach to excursions and concerts.
ITINERARY
We hope, COVID restrictions permitting, that the tour will include concerts (including at least one with local choirs/ensembles if possible) in different venues. There will also be planned visits, which we hope will include a day trip to the region’s capital Trieste.
The full itinerary is still being developed and will be presented to tour members before the tour begins.
COST
The total tour cost is £798 per person for a twin/double room.
This includes coach hire, flights, bed and breakfast accommodation in a twin, double or triple room (based on two people sharing), all transport to trips and concerts, organised concerts, pre-publicity for all concerts, fully comprehensive travel insurance and ABTA bonding.
