Le Dimore del Quartetto’s network is open not only to historic houses, but also to all the houses that have the possibility to host and that belong to dynamic and passionate people.
To take part in our network, you must be able to provide the quartet with 4 beds and a room adequate for rehearsals. In exchange for your valuable hospitality, the musicians will donate a concert (the value of which, usually, is approximately 2,000 euros). The concert may be private, for you and your guests, or open to the public.

TO BE A HOUSE OF LE DIMORE DEL QUARTETTO
