WHAT TO BRING
For riders essential items are: helmet, riding-trousers (jeans are not always comfortable), riding boots or walking shoes + half-chaps (easier to pack), full-length raincoat (yes, it can rain in Italy, too!), and gloves if you are used to wearing them. Otherwise dress according to the season. Remember that you don’t have to bring out your finery at Rendola! There is a washing-machine and an iron if you need them.
Other useful items: cellphone, suncream, lipsalve, personal medicines, small camera with strap you can put round your neck, gilet with pockets or bumbag. Remember that there are plenty of good books at Rendola and that there is free WIFI. All guests are advised not to bring too much luggage: bulky suitcases hamper you on your travels (there are steps everywhere!). Reserve some space, however, for anything you might want to buy during your stay. Buy your shampoos and suchlike when you get to Italy to avoid having to show them at the airport.

Please note: Anyone wanting a shorter holiday can do ‘A Taste of Tuscany’, during the first four days of any ‘Discover Valdarno’ programme (Sat-Wed).

INSURANCE
Although the Rendola Riding-centre is insured, insurance companies could be slow to act and reluctant to pay out, so we require you to get out a personal holiday insurance to cover your holiday.
