"The direct city centre location was great, the surrounding cafés could be visited during the break. And it was also possible to stroll around the city after school. Lessons in small groups were very nice... you are automatically encouraged to work together. Great, friendly and committed teachers. The café right next to the school is also very cosy."

Details of the review

City/place

"I was travelling alone as a woman. I always felt safe and comfortable, no matter where or when. Ravenna is a beautiful city of manageable size with very friendly inhabitants. It's a relaxed, young city that's still not loud. What's SUPER about Ravenna is the cycle traffic! You definitely need an old bike here. And thanks to a great network of cycle paths, you can get all over Ravenna. The number one means of transport. You can cycle to the sea in Punta Marina Terme in 3/4 of an hour. Emilia Romagna is beautiful."

"I really liked the fact that I felt very comfortable here. It was informal and we students were well looked after. I had the feeling that the teaching here was systematic. YES, there was even a book for learning. I missed that at other schools. It's a really small school, but that's what makes it special. If you want to learn Italian, you're in good hands here. Grammar is also learnt here. I missed that at other schools. I would happily come back here. Even the headmaster played and sang a few songs with us on the guitar on the last day."

The individual classes were extremely helpful too, and it was great that the teachers tailored them towards areas that I wanted to focus on."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

"Within Ravenna itself, you are spoilt for choice for restaurants - the food is excellent and reasonably priced too. The city is also conveniently located for day trips - some of the surrounding towns such as Cesenatico are gems, while San Marino is only a two hour journey away (via Rimini) and well worth a visit."

"Very good language school with great organization and motivating teachers. Ideal to learn Italian quickly and on a high level. My host family has also been wonderful, and from my classmates I only heard positive things regarding their host families."

"By train it is a short ride to Rimini or Bologna. Definitely worth visiting."

"I would have appreciated more leisure activities organized by the school. With surcharge, of course, but the offer was a bit poor and repeated weekly. Don't miss the Aperitivo on the first day, because only then you get to know students from other classes and that way you can make plans for the afternoons."

"I already did the third language course in Ravenna (Malvisi) and this time I had a teacher (Anna Maria) which I especially liked because she attended our language difficulties with a lot of patience and organized the lessons very well, which in the other courses hadn't been the case."

"The school engages the host families to talk a lot to the students. I really liked that, even though I would have liked if they would have asked me a bit more during conversations and that I could have answered. I was mostly just the listener. But after four weeks I was able to understand a lot but could not speak much."

"Enrica is the nicest and sweetest hostess you can imagine. She was always there for me; she took me on excursions, talked to me a lot and introduced me to her friends. Enrica has a wonderful large apartment, I had a large and bright room with my own modern bathroom. She immediately took my dinner requests into account. I am sure that everyone will immediately feel at home with Enrica. She gets an A+ from me and I would be very happy if you pass it on to her."
