What we like about the school
  • Students receive a student card for discounts at different restaurants, clubs, cybercafés, sport shops and more.
  • Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 15% of students.
  • Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
  • You can combine courses at different schools of the same chain and the school will charge the inscription fee only once.
What we dislike about the school
  • Do not offer favorable cancellation terms in the case of a student getting a visa rejected.
  • Lessons are 45 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Location: Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Florence is located in the famous and culturally rich city of Florence, Italy. Housed in the heart of Florence, close to cafés, eateries, restaurants, and many of the city's main attractions, the school is well placed to offer student's a good view into the culture and happenings of the city. Attractions within walking distance of the school include the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Museum of Opera of Saint Maria of Fiore, the Basilica of Santa Croce, the Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica and the Leonardo da Vinci Museum as well as much more.

Course selection: The school provides a wide variety of courses that cover both the Italian language and various subjects in Italian culture. In addition to General Italian programmes, available to students of all levels, taught over several schedules and intensities, the school also provides La Dolce Vita 50+, Fine Arts courses, Italian Wines, Art History, various Music Specialist programmes, Exam Preparation (CILS), Teacher Training courses, several Academic Italian tuition programmes and various additional culture orientated courses.

School chain: Scuola Leonardo da Vinci was initially founded to teach the Italian language in combination with Italian culture. The school has since grown into a group of schools with locations in Florence, Milan, Viareggio, Turin and Rome.

The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci group is recognised and acknowledged by various national and international institutes and organisations for their quality Italian language and culture tuition. Possibly, the most notable of these acknowledgements is from the Italian Ministry of Education.

The Intensive Italian course from Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is the main offering among their programme options and involves taking 4 classes every day (20 per week). Most of the lessons’ focus is directed towards verbal communication, meaning you will spend a significant amount of time speaking in class and resolving any issues you have with pronunciation or listening skills. Even so, the elements of Italian language study that are related to vocabulary and grammar are still given their due importance.

This academy believes that play is just as important as work, and for that reason, they organise extracurricular activities for students to enjoy in the afternoons and evenings. These might involve taking day trips to museums, wine cellars, cultural discussion groups, and more. Through these activities, the school wants to show you that learning a language is much more than just learning in the classroom, and instead is all about having fun using your new or expanding knowledge of the language.

Student reviews about "Super Intensive Small Group Course" at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci
Ulrike 4.0
"A lot depends on your classmates. Spanish speakers are simply closer to Italian than we Germans are. Nevertheless, a mixture of different age groups is better than just over 50‘s. Over 50’s are either over-motivated or overwhelmed, younger language students are a good mix. "

Wayne 4.0
"(see above)"
Zagorka 3.0
"The dolce vita program promised a lot but delivered hardly acceptable activities after classes. Since I am professional in tourism, 55 Eur/ day / person is a big money for casual walking through Florence or going by public bus to the piazza on the hill. To defend the price it had to be more professional with expert guide, entrance to some museum and some meal. Ratio price/ quality was shameless."

“Very nice and friendly teachers who also convey the Italian mentality and way of life and customs. This time a small group of 6-7 and additional private lessons. In the private lessons I was able to choose the topics myself. It was really great and very accommodating for me that I was given a voucher after an accident and was able to make up the missing time a year later.”
“Due to the diversity of the pupils - nationalities, ages, objectives of the language lessons - not all expectations can be met. Didactically, the lessons should be more clearly structured with blackboard notes for better understanding.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: A lot depends on your classmates. Spanish speakers are simply closer to Italian than we Germans are. Nevertheless, a mixture of different age groups is better than just over 50‘s. Over 50’s are either over-motivated or overwhelmed, younger language students are a good mix.

“The teachers, the lessons and above all the books (workbooks) are super good!!!”
“Structural condition bad! Toilets very old, constantly occupied and decades old!
The rooms are small and cramped. I sat in a narrow room with 9 people. No tables, only small chairs. The rooms echo very strongly. Opening windows problematic as the traffic roars in front of them. Air conditioning units also loud.
In general: the structural situation is really bad!!! However, the organisation, teaching and books are TOP.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Super! Top!!!

“Great location. Nice small classes. Very friendly teachers. You felt they knew who you were. Teachers made a good effort to include everyone and be positive. Private lesson was excellent but on the very expensive side. Prohibitively expensive (too expensive for many). A mixture of grammar and oral, which in theory was good. A really fun week which I loved.”
“Felt the setting of students was too crude (makeshift) and some were too weak or too strong for their class. Facilities in the school were fairly basic. So much more could be achieved with things like interactive boards. Did not seem to be a clear plan about how to deal with students doing different length of courses. Expected to pay for a day when no teaching happened because of a ‘giorno festivo’. The day a teacher was absent we simply did an exact repeat of the day before's lesson. That was a day wasted. Too much writing on the whiteboard of things that could be given out in photocopies. Poor quality of photocopies. Not always clear what the aim of the lesson was. Felt that what you got out of it was very dependent on which teacher you got. I had two excellent teachers and two that were not so good.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Did not feel very intensive. Would have liked more hours teaching.
Other comments: One of the best weeks I’ve had for a while but I feel that in terms of language learning and facilities it could be so much better.

“The instructor, the location, the cultural divesity of the other students”
“Our particular program was a two-week course called la dolce vita 50+, meant to combine intense language intruction with daily cultural enrichment activities. The first-day "tour" of the city and another walking tour of Florence didn't include ANY history, architectural commentary, or other useful info! None!”

“The instructors made the materials fun to work on. I was only disappointed that we were not aware of the focus of program before we started.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I was surprised at the screening to determine the placement in the instruction levels. As my wife and I had done a lot of self study I was placed in intermediate level 4. That was fine for my understanding of the language structure, but did not meet my needs for basic vocabulary I struggled to study the upcoming material each evening, in order to have a modest grasp of the content. The instructors that I had, Sara and Fiorenza, were both excellent and made a point of writing the key elements of grammatical structures on the board which allowed me to follow as well as possible.

“The school is full of people, young and old, and it's very easy to make friends if that's one of your goals.”
Insider tip: “Go to class every day, talk to people during lunch, make an effort to meet others.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The Leonardo da Vinci Scuola di Lingua was absolutely fantastic. The level of instruction is very professional. The teachers only speak in Italian, but even if you are just starting out you still understand everything because the speed is slow and there are good materials that accompany each lesson. I spent a month here in A2 and by the end of it I did a week of a B2 speaking course and felt comfortable. I highly recommend doing this program if you're serious about learning the language, and I recommend doing some extra work on your own in addition to the course so that everything sticks in your memory.

“Great teachers and superb methods of learning”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The dolce vita program promised a lot but delivered hardly acceptable activities after classes. Since I am professional in tourism, 55 Eur/ day / person is a big money for casual walking through Florence or going by public bus to the piazza on the hill. To defend the price it had to be more professional with expert guide, entrance to some museum and some meal. Ratio price/ quality was shameless.

If you like the idea of sharing accommodation with your fellow students from the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, then this could be the ideal living option for you. These apartments can be situated in either the city centre or in a residential area of the city. In any case, the most time you might expect to spend on public transport to get to the school will be half an hour, but may also be less.

All guests have to leave a deposit of 100 euros on the first day of their course, and this will be reimbursed at the end of the course if your apartment is still in the same condition as when you started your tenancy. There is no washing machine on-site, but you will be shown nearby launderette services that you can use.

Bed linens will be provided by the accommodation itself, but you will have to bring your own towels.

Prices listed are subject to change depending on the location and accommodation providers.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
