Accommodation

There are plenty of B&Bs, some youth hostels, very few campsites and a few monasteries. Refugio-type accommodation is in short supply, though in Italy things are impoving. It is possible in several places to be put up by the Parish - this can vary from a floor in a community hall to a single or twin-bedded en suite room. These will always have to be booked, usually by phone so you will need to be able to speak enough French/Italian to do this. Details of where to stay are given in the various Guides (see ‘Guide Books & Maps’). In addition the CPR has an accommodation list (available to members only) based on experiences of those who have made all or part of the pilgrimage.

Also worth trying are hospitality exchange websites such as http://www.hospitalityclub.org/ & http://www.couchsurfing.com/
