WTF
Tre Re is the one to get if you can, booked up well in advance so call straight away +39 0331 924229. Family run affair, they'll look after you well. During ground school, facilities are good, but if you're doing Sim training out of hours, bear in mind that it's impossible to get somewhere to eat before 7 or 7.30 in the evening or outside lunch hours.
Some guys take apartments locally and cater for themselves, might suit you better.
Up to yourself about transport, if you're a road head, then wheels are a must - I personally couldn't be that near those mountains and not be able to drive up there!!!!!
Despite the criticisms, you'll find all aspects of the training are quite well structured with good content prepared by a bunch of people who are interested in the level of knowledge you acquire, both in the classroom and in the Sim or flightline. It's constantly developing so it's somewhat different now than it was in the early days, particularly in the Sim.
You won't be a walking expert after it all, but you'll have enough to build a solid foundation for yourself upon which you can build once you get flying the line.
Above all - enjoy!!
