Posted on behalf of Frank Burke [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sabbatical/Research Housing in Italy My wife and I try to make our research home in Lucca, Italy available for other academics when we are not using it. We seek renters for our child friendly recently renovated apartment in Lucca, Italy. Our home has 880 square feet inside and a 400-square-foot terrace with excellent vistas. There are two bedrooms and a studio with sofa bed, plus a spacious kitchen/living room and a bathroom. We are ideally equipped for research (high-speed internet, satellite tv, printer/scanner, voltage transformers, etc.). We have air conditioning and heating, dishwasher and washing machine. We are normally able to negotiate a 10% discount on Italian language courses for our tenants. The apartment will next be available from November 15, 2010 to April 30, 2010, and again from September 1, 2011 to June 7, 2012. We seek long-term renters, though we will entertain requests for shorter term rentals, particularly in the summer and spring, in case a longer term rental does not materialize. We do not rent for periods of less than two weeks. For more information and photos, see: www.film.queensu.ca/Burke/Lucca.html.
