We are based at Marta (below) home to the colourful Barabbata festival on the shores of Lake Bolsena 90 km north of Rome Small groups - maximum six people on a course
Take advantage of low cost flights to ROME (Ciampino) and VENICE with: www.easyjet.com or www.ryanair.com Ryan allows 15kg of baggage, EASYJET 20kg so the latter get the award for being most photographer friendly especially as they allow heavy cameras to go on as hand-luggage. For VENICE we recommend EASYJET or British Airways (Ryan fly to Treviso which is a fair bus ride to Venice) Dates 2006

The Barabbata street festival a lively, colourful event held every year on 14 May in Marta by Lake Bolsena. The procession of gaudily clad carts and floats passes right under our window at dawn so if you get up early you'll get a grandstand view from our balcony! We thoroughly recommend this event which is quite unique even in an area famous for its folklore and ancient traditions.
