The apartments are fully furnished and fully functional. Utilities are included in the housing cost.

Important Insurance Reminder
Every EdOdyssey experience is covered by its own international medical insurance for emergencies. However, we want to remind our participants that this is not the equivalent of travel insurance. In observance of Covid restrictions and regulations issued by the United States and Italian governments, we strongly encourage you to review and consider purchasing additional insurance, such as CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason), quarantine insurance, and others.
For more information, we have prepared a document you can review here.
