Residence le Benedettine
The Monastery of St. Benedict, built in 1393 and whose façade with flamboyant Gothic windows characterises Pisa's Lungarno Sonnino, has been used by the University of Pisa for conference and training activities. Full of classrooms, auditorium, terraces, porticoes, and a characteristic garden, it is an evocative, functional and welcoming place for training activities and events.
Residence Le Benedettine - housed in the former monastery - is the University of Pisa’s new guesthouse that provides accommodation for both Italian and international students, researchers and professors.
The newly renovated three-story housing covers 1900m², is situated in the old town, and is walking distance from the central train station, various other public transport services and the main university buildings, schools and departments.
Residence le Benedettine is made up of 44 rooms and is suitable for short, medium and long-term stays.
Room types include: single, single with French bed, twin and double (although some double rooms can be considered small apartments). Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, LAN cable, 32-inch LCD TV, and most rooms have a kitchen cabinet.
The newly manufactured furnishings comply with the international regulations for user safety.
How to get there
Pisa is a small (and lovely) city. The conference centre can be reached by walking from the city centre (about 15 minutes from the railway station).
