 Things you might need to know...

Contact numbers and details to carry with you in case anything goes wrong:

We have two land lines at The Hill That Breathes.

If you are calling from Italy, dial either 0722 347895 or 0722 345472.

If you are calling from the UK, use our 0870 609 2690 number.

Or call either of the land line numbers but with the prefix 0039.

Matthew's mobile is ++44 7717 172 691

 
 

If for any reason you miss the transfer, give us a call to let us know.

If you do miss it, you need to get to Falconara train station. There is a shuttle bus from the airport to Falconara (you do not need to go all the way to Ancona, which is further). From Falconara, take a train to Pesaro (approx. 40 minutes). As soon as you know what time your train arrives in Pesaro, contact our taxi driver Roberto (tel 349 0518579) who will hopefully be able to pick you up or send someone. This taxi trip will cost €50. If you end up simply getting one of the taxis that stand outside Pesaro train station, you'll end up paying more. You should give them the following details to locate us.

The address is (L'indirizzo e'):
La Collina Che Respira
Localita Girfalco
Ca Loreto 76
Pieve di Cagna
61029 Urbino (PU)

Some useful phrases
Va a Pieve Di Cagna. (Go to Pieve Di Cagna).

Dopo Pieve Di Cagna, prenda la strada verso Urbania. (After P Di C, take the road to Urbania).

Dopo tre chilometri, c'e un piccolo cartello per ‘La Collina Che Respira'... (After 3 km, there's a small sign for The Hill)

Prenda la strada sterrata sulla destra e prosegua per 800 metri, fino l'ultimo casa. (Take this white road to the right for 800m until you reach the last house).

What To Bring:
We really look forward to seeing you here at The Hill That Breathes.

Before we offer a few ideas about things to bring, we'd like to remind you about Ryanair (if you're flying with them)... they have a rather low baggage allowance of 15kg, which means they find it easy to supplement their income by charging you for excess baggage.. and it really catches a lot of people out... so beware as you pack.

Okay, here's some idea...

  • Comfortable clothes that allow movement
  • Suncream
  • Sunglasses
  • Sandals
  • All that you'd need for the pool, including
  • Your bathers
  • A good book or two or three
  • A beach towel (hand towel and bath towel provided)
  • All that you'd need for walking in the woods, including
  • Walking boots or good trainers
  • Long trousers
  • All that you'd need for sitting round the camp-fire
  • A torch
  • A jumper
  • All that you'd need for unexpected weather, including; a kagool or umbrella
  • All that you'd need for making some form of record of your experience, including; a still camera, a movie camera, if you fancy a pen and paper, to note experiences and/or details of hearty companions acquired during your vacation.
 
All that you'd need for doing tai chi:
  • Some soft trainers/Tai Chi shoes (or bare feet)
