Babilonia

The language school Babilonia was founded in Taormina, Italy in 1992. The Centre is located in the heart of world famous town of Taormina, the most beautiful town in Sicily. Courses and programs are held at “Casa Silva”, an historic villa, built in 1817 just 200 metres away from the Greek Theatre: an architectural, natural and historical treasure that Taormina has miraculously managed to conserve. The villa still today boasts a luxurious botanical garden filled with citrus trees, Mediterranean plants, centuries-old palms, monkey puzzle trees and magnolias, as well as many other exotic trees and plants.

The school address is: via Timoleone 10, Taormina, 98039, Italy, 98039 - Taormina, Italy (see on map)
