Location: ABC Elba is located on the beautiful island of Elba, Tuscany, Italy, 10 km from the mainland coastal town of Piombino. The third-largest island in Italy and the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, Elba is also part of the Archipelago Toscano National Park. The school is housed in a stylish 19th-century villa where students may also be accommodated, surrounded by the beauty of the surrounding landscape and within a 15-minute walk of the island's Porto Azzurro.
Course selection: The school supplies both courses and accommodation to make sure students have all they need to enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Elba. Courses supplied vary from Standard Italian courses taught in groups or privately, suitable to all levels, to courses more specifically orientated to more senior students aged 30+ or 50+.
Accommodation: The accommodation offered is located within the school, with the school's grounds and garden also containing an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court.
Additional information: The young and highly trained native teaching staff are known for their innovative teaching techniques as well as their friendly and lively classroom atmosphere.
Renowned for its pristine waters, extraordinary cuisine and breathtaking landscapes, the island of Elba is a unique destination to start or further your learning of the Italian Language. ABC Elba - Centro di Lingua & Cultura Italiana has everything you need to make your trip memorable and one of a kind.

Peggy

“The location is absolutely gorgeous. To be taught outside in a garden is something very special.”
“The teacher didn't really give us time to speak. She spoke most of the time. Answered our questions we hadn't even finished. Therefore she explained things we didn't meant and in the end our questions weren't answered.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I was glad to have my Individual course so that I had a chance to speak. If I hadn't had it I'd probably be disappointed.Other comments: It would have been nice to have a little library with Italian books for students instead of Dutch and English books.

“Very differentiated lessons that are well adapted to the level of individual students. Very pleasant and good teachers.”
“It wasn't clear beforehand whether an advanced course would be organised that would suit me exactly and what it would look like, but I have confidence in the future. The school really made a great effort to find exactly the right level for me.”

“The instructor, Deborah, was great. Very engaged and interactive. The staff were always friendly, helpful and supportive. The location is great - a small oasis, at a fair price, within walking distance of Porto Azurro and easy bicycling distance to the SE corner of Elba.”
“The Wi-fi can be very spotty.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I think a good job was done in placing me with students close to my level. I was fortunate to have a very interesting, worldly group.
