Notes on accommodation
We have made a Quicktime movie to let you get a better picture of the layout and the rest of the accommodation.
You can download this virtual tour from http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/chess/villa_maria_small.mov
You will need Quicktime or iTunes to view this movie. Once loaded, you can move from room to room, up the stairs and outside (Click to change nodes when the cursor changes from a circle to an arrow). In each location you can drag through 360 degrees, zoom in and out with shift and ctrl keys.
The file is 3MB so will take a few seconds to download.... please be patient. Also, this movie was shot a couple of years ago, so you won't see the bannisters, air-con and lanscaped garden.
