Seven of them are in Tuscany, the cradle of the Italian language and one in Lazio, Sicilia and Veneto. This allows the students to learn the language where it is spoken most correctly, enjoying at the same time the beautiful artistic, historical and naturalistic beauties of these regions. We are able to give a very wide choice of opportunities in these two spectacular regions.
The most enjoyable is Livorno which is our historical hub. The most charming is Pisa with its famous Leaning Tower. The most artistic is Florence, one of Europe's most important cultural cities. The most exclusive and naturalistic is Pratello in the Tuscan countryside near Florence, Pisa and Siena. The most exotic is Portoferraio, which is on the biggest island of the Tuscan archipelago: Elba Island. The most picturesque is Sorano in the very heart of Maremma in a lovely medieval village: lessons are held in a castle from 1200, a few minutes from the famous thermal waters of Saturnia. The most recent additions to the group are Rome, Venezia, Palermo and Viareggio that completes our already ample choice offered to study Italian.. The most important and unique feature of our schools is the possibility to study in different cities, maintain the same high level of teaching with the same didactic methods. A student can in fact change the location of his course during his stay in Italy.
Our welcome: our association welcomes all students upon their arrival when and where they decide as stated in the following description of each location. All the students are requested to communicate the exact time of their arrival at least a week before.
Rental services: it is possible to rent some useful items which are available in a limited number so priority will be given to those who ask first:
- Bicycle rental: to get around easier in the city centre or to go to the beach without traffic problems it is possible to rent a bicycle at very low prices. The bicycles are not insured.
- Linen rental: for those who want, it is possible to rent sheets and/or towels from the school.
- Electric equipment: our schools can rent also televisions, video recorders, radios and mobiles although in a limited number.
Trips: our schools also organise trips to the most interesting places such as Florence, Siena, Isle d'Elba, Pisa, Leghorn, Lucca, San Gimignano, Chianti, Saturnia, Capraia, Chianti and in Maremma. The student must pay all costs.
Cultural and social activities: every week our schools organize cultural and social activities, all included for those who choose the "Dolce vita" program, at an extra cost for others. Every activity is organized with a minimum of students.
