Bed & Breakfast Il Campanile

If your travel plans during the Dead Runners Society World Conference in Italy include a visit to the Cinque Terre and then from there you continue along the Italian Riviera towards Monaco and France, then spend some quality time (at a discounted price) at the charming bed & breakfast Il Campanile, owned by two Italian Dead Runners.

Located in Bastia di Albenga, in the region of Liguria, the bed & breakfast Il Campanile is a large house, three kilometers from the seaside, surrounded by hills and forests, but close to every facilities. The building has been restructured completely in 2005 and it now offers accomodation and two flats for those who want to stay longer (the flats have independent bathroom and kitchenette, and can accomodate 2 to 4 persons). Participants to the Dead Runners Society World Conference have a 50% discount on all rates for the period May 20-24 (including the night of May 24, 2007). Albenga is a city situated on the Gulf of Genoa on the Italian Riviera in the Province of Savona. The city is of Celtic origins, the chief town of the Ligures, and flourished as the municipium of Albingaunum under the Roman Empire, owing to its position that offered access from the coast to the interior, and the Via Julia Augusta, the Roman coast road. Its early Christian baptistery, perhaps dating to the 5th century, is now ten feet below modern street level. Alluvial deposits washed down by the torrential Centa have gradually buried the southern section of Roman Albingaunum and its port, but Albenga has a well-preserved historic center, retaining the Roman plan of its grid planning and surrounded by its ancient walls. It still retains four of its medieval tower houses and other houses built to the Roman plan round a courtyard. Albenga's fortunes declined with the rise of Genoa, but it is again prospering as a center for tourism and agriculture.

The bed & breakfast Il Campanile is owned by two Italian Dead Runners, Valeria and Marco. Check out their website for directions and more information. To book contact info@bbilcampanile.it. Mention "Convegno maratoneti" in all correspondence.
