What we like about the school
- Located in the centre of Viareggio, within walking distance from the beach.
- The school is next to a Pinewood forest where you can go jogging, rent a bicycle or play tennis.
- Homestay accommodation very close to school
- Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
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.

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Details of the review
Other comments On the first day we were put into the wrong conversation class - it was above our level - but then we were put into a lower class the next day. It must be very difficult to teach in a class with students at different levels and different nationalities. I think the assessment should be given on the first day at school and the student, from the time of application to attending the school, should be given guidance maybe every two weeks until the start of their class. The test did not evaluate my level correctly.

- I am looking for a language course in Viareggio in May for 2-3 weeks with family accommodation for 1 person with breakfast. I am 65 years old and would prefer ensuite accommodation with no pets within walking distance of school. I might have to arrive on Friday or Saturday.“Most of the families are within a walking distance from the school, but we do not have families with rooms having private bathrooms. Usually, it's possible to arrive on Saturday. Maybe, considering that May is low season, it could be possible to arrive on Friday.
