Il Palazzone is located outside the massive ancient town walls of Cortona, and can be reached also by a pleasant walk away from the center of Cortona (about 1,5 Km: you walk from Piazzale Garibaldi on Via Gino Severini and along the way you will find several tourist signs for reaching Il Palazzone).
All supported participants and speakers will be hosted at the Hotel San Luca. More rooms are available at a special discounted rate. An alternative hotel is Hotel Italia. Another option is the B&B Dolce Maria. Please contact the organizers in case you need more information. You can also contact directly the hotels, mentioning that you intend to use the "convenzione SNS".
There are two railway stations in Cortona. The closest, which we warmly recommend, is Camucia Cortona.
