Location: Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera, an Italian language school, is based in Alghero on the Mediteranean island of Sardinia. Sardinia is a central point within the Mediterranean sea and as a result, there are a number of sites that reflect its history including the Bronze age stone ruins and the Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju, both of which are found close to Alghero.
Getting around: The island is surrounded by coasts and it has a number of interesting geographical features to tempt you for a day away from the city. A 40-minute car drive from the school is Neptune's Grotto, a large marine cave with gems galore, and Capi Caccia the picturesque cliff setting with a lighthouse and amazing views of the area.
City's features: With its terracotta-coloured roofs and its golden walls, Alghero is very picturesque and has a lot on offer for its visitors. Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera is in a great location within the city, a 3-minute walk from both the Alghero Cathedral, a must-see, and the church of St Michaels with a beautifully coloured dome. There are beautiful strolls to be had throughout the city where you can explore all of Alghero's hidden gems.
Course structure: Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera believes that the best way to learn the Italian language is to find a balance between a stimulating classroom environment and practical classes using the language in real-life scenarios around the city. The school offers a number of interesting cultural classes including AllegraMente - A Vacationer’s delight, which allows its students to learn Italian designed for basic travel and Lingua + Cultural Course, which uses its extra lessons to learn about the history of the area and Sardinia itself. Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera is a perfect mixture of learning a language and experiencing a real Sardinian experience.
