Student comments about "Group Course" at Il Sasso
Robyn
"My teachers were great and very encouraging."
Jay
"I loved my class. It was an extraordinary group of mature students that were smart, funny and we were able to form a strong bond in just one week."
Cristina
"It was good - competent, friendly teachers"
Klaus
"it was flawless"
Helma
"Very helpful for intensive communication"
Carmel
"Excellent in all respects."
Dagmar
"Thanks to Corona there were only two of us and that was great and intense! 2nd week for three!"
Yannick
"I liked the small size of the classes (three students the first week, five students the second week), the fact that there were not just teenage students but also older adults from all over the world. The teachers are very passionate and give great personal attention. Having two different teachers each day is a very good concept. The course material could yet be refreshed and there could be more use of videos and role plays in class. Some excursions/activities were a bit on the expensive side. A good enriching experience overall! "

Carmel

“The overall vibe - all the support staff and teachers were very helpful and friendly. The teaching was exceptional - I learned so much in only two weeks, thanks to the three teachers I had (two in the group classes and one for private lessons. They were very knowledgeable about the subject matter and gave clear instructions and explanations.”
“The weather was unseasonably cold for mid May so the classrooms were freezing. This made it difficult to concentrate. It would’ve helped to have had some form of heating.
More effort needed to be made to keep the toilets clean - sometimes there was no toilet paper or soap and the rubbish bins were full to overflowing.”
Insider tip: “The textbook which one is required to buy is quite heavy, which is a consideration for those travelling from afar (weight limits for plane travel).”

“My teacher Roberta for private lessons, also everything was extremey well organized, especially considering the director had no real idea before the first day's testing regarding the level of the students”
Insider tip: “I started with the intensive, 6 hours a day, which I eventually found too much, despite how inviting it sounds, it's hard to absorb that much at one time.”
Details of the review
Other comments: I really loved the school & would only suggest more excursions to some of the small villages around that area or even a trip to the termi at Rapolano or Bagno Vignoni. I was there in Oct. & perhaps the enrollment at that time was too low for such trips.

If you want to organize your own free time, Montepulciano and its surrounding areas have a lot to offer, including the towns of Chiusi and Cortona, famous for their Etruscan origins, the monasteries of Sant'Antimo and Monte Oliveto Maggiore, mediaeval towns such as Cetona and Città delle Pieve and Pienza, known as the "Pearl of the Renaissance". For nature lovers, there are hundreds of scenic walking routes in the Val d'Orcia or on Monte Amiata. In Montepulciano there are tennis courts, dance schools and a gym. In Chianciano (8 km away and on a bus route) there is a swimming pool. We also recommend a visit to the area's large number of spa towns, such as Bagno Vignoni, Bagni di S. Filippo and San Casciano dei Bagni (reachable only by car).

Student comments about Homestay
Robyn
"Fiorella is very welcoming, likes to chat and is very forgiving of my emerging Italian language. She is also a fantastic cook.
Cristina
"Location was great! Food ok. Hospitality was so-so. Little interest in communication. TV was usually on during meals. Space in the fridge, advice on the use of tap water, multiple use of the washing machine would have been helpful given the temperatures.
Georgia
"Wonderful host Fiorella. She is simply the best!
Carmel
"Fiorella could not have been nicer. She went out of her way to help in any way she could with any unexpected problems I experienced (ie travel arrangements etc). It really was a Home away from Home.
Yannick
"Excellent homestay with a friendly local host family. It's the best way to keep learning outside of class.

Helma
"Bed linen changed only once in four weeks; kitchenette quite dingy as poorly cleaned; cooking utensils and crockery took some getting used to; unhygienic bath mats on the floor in the bathroom. The bathroom facilities were relatively new and the shower also worked. No problem with the hot water.

Montepulciano city attractiveness rated by our students:

The Standard course is ideal for those who want to learn the Italian language on a morning schedule, in the company of other students, in groups that are guaranteed to be a maximum of just 9 students. You will be assigned to a group that’s appropriately challenging for your current level of Italian - ranging from beginner to advanced. In terms of the content of the lessons, the teachers combine the study of language, culture and current affairs to deliver classes that are educational and engaging at the same time.
The course consists of four hours (50 minutes each) of group classes (Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:00, with two breaks). Two teachers work with each group, who will alternate between one another. Since every teacher inevitably has a slightly different style of teaching, you’ll benefit from the variety - particularly when it comes to tuning your ear to more than one person when you’re listening to Italian speakers.
