Do you need additional accommodation either before or after the Villa Pandolfini program: Pls state dates & which town/city:

Do any of your party have any food allergies we need to be aware of? Please be specific to the level of intolerance or allergy as we often design the whole weeks menus around these and then people eat everything when they are here anyway;

Are any of your party vegetarian, do you eat eggs, cheese, fish?

Allergies of any kind - non food related:

Dislikes to any kind of food, we cannot change the menus once we have set them based on what you write here- food means: liver/rabbit/veal/lamb game (note in italy they are very good at cooking game, they treat it in a way it loses that "wild taste")-game includes; pheasant,hare,goat,wild boar?

Do any of your party suffer from a medical condition that we should be aware of in case of an emergency

Difficulty walking OR with stairs? When we ask this we mean normal walking conditions meaning a 10-13min walk uphill.

Do you require any information on the following (pls circle) Car Rental, Guided Tours of Florence, Train Timetables, Babysitting Service, Day Tours (in addition to the program), Museum Pre-booking, Hot Air Ballooning.
