What we like about the school

A seaside resort school, just a few minutes' walk to the beach.

What we dislike about the school

Nationality mix could be more balanced. 40 of students are from Germany

Venue: Sanremo, on the Italian Riviera near the border with France, is a seaside resort famous for its climate, beauty, and wealth of cultural events. Sanremo is the capital of what is known as the Riviera of Flowers and is famous for its flower growing industry. Omnilingua is located just a five minute walk away from Italo Calvino beach, named after the famous twentieth century writer who spent his youth in Sanremo and whose works are often evocative of his life there.

The School: Omnilingua has been teaching Italian to international students since 1999 and has received several awards for the quality of its services and its high level of student satisfaction. Situated in a beautiful, historic building, Omnilingua offers different study options to suit most tastes.

Courses: The school provides General and Intensive Italian courses as well as specialized programmes for CILS exam preparation and Professional Italian. Students can also take advantage of their time at Omnilingua to learn more about Italian Wine and Cooking or to brush up on their Tennis in the afternoon while studying Italian in the mornings. The school also runs a popular holiday programme for students over 50 which combines language study with cultural activities.

Getting there: The closest airport for arrival in Sanremo is Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, in France, which is a 45 minute drive away. There is also a direct, non-stop bus service from the airport in Nice to Sanremo. Alternatively, travel between Nice and Sanremo by train is quite affordable though it generally requires a couple train changes. The school is located about a 3-minute walk away from the bus stop and 17 minutes from the train station.

"Manuela was an excellent teacher who matched her teaching to our needs well. The class size of 6/7 made it easy to get a lot of individual attention. I cannot rate other activities as I did not take part."

Natalia 1.0

"Waste of money and time. Firstly: on the first day of training for new students, a survey tour was conducted along the streets adjacent to the school. The tour was conducted in Italian, which I did not know. The man who conducted the tour smoked on the go, it was very unpleasant for me, a non-smoker. Secondly: there were no audio manuals in the classroom at all. Of the video manuals, only one video clip was used of singer Mahmoud. The teacher gave lectures in Italian, which I do not know, and which I would like to study. I didn’t understand anything. I bought a dictionary in a bookstore, but did not manage to translate with it. I had a tablet computer with me, but I could not use it, because the Wi-Fi signal was too weak in the classroom. Four other students studied in the Intensive program, and in the afternoon they studied with another teacher, so it was easier for them. Thirdly: the teacher David was constantly ill. He sneezed and blew his nose, it was unpleasant, I was constantly afraid of getting sick because of this. On Friday, May 17, David was very sick, his sneezing and runny nose intensified, and he began to cough. In addition, a student of Romin fell ill, she also began to sneeze and blow her nose. I realized that my body could not stand the two virus carriers. I really didn’t want to get sick either, so I left school after studying for only a week. Moreover, I did not understand anything as the teacher spoke Italian. "

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.

“Confidently organised, the staff were always willing to take that extra step to ensure that everyone studying at the school was happy. The quality of the teaching was fantastic (Thank you Irma!) and I can truly say I enjoyed each and every lesson. Social activities were readily available but I always felt like it was my choice to go or not, no pushing selling like at some other language schools. Friendly and knowledgeable staff!”

Insider tip: “Take the cycle route to San Lorenzo in your spare time. Return to San Remo over the Poggio if you are brave!”

“People are friendly and welcoming. The teaching was at the level I needed and no time was wasted. My tutor was very committed and I enjoyed my hours with her. The time, for me, went very quickly each day, even though it was 2 hours of conversation with my tutor who was very patient and encouraging.”

Other comments The Sanremo Language school suited me very well since it is situated in Sanremo, a very pleasant town, not too big. I have been at the school before, I was pleased with the teaching and so I had no hesitation in returning there for another course.

“Very poor organization, waste of money. I paid for a two-week course, but had to stop attending the school after a week, as the teacher, who was constantly sneezing and blowing his nose, was giving incomprehensible lectures.”

Insider tip: “I do not recommend anyone to try to study at this school.”

Details of the review

Quality of teaching / language progress: Waste of money and time. Firstly: on the first day of training for new students, a survey tour was conducted along the streets adjacent to the school. The tour was conducted in Italian, which I did not know. The man who conducted the tour smoked on the go, it was very unpleasant for me, a non-smoker. Secondly: there were no audio manuals in the classroom at all. Of the video manuals, only one video clip was used of singer Mahmoud. The teacher gave lectures in Italian, which I do not know, and which I would like to study. I didn’t understand anything. I bought a dictionary in a bookstore, but did not manage to translate with it. I had a tablet computer with me, but I could not use it, because the Wi-Fi signal was too weak in the classroom. Four other students studied in the Intensive program, and in the afternoon they studied with another teacher, so it was easier for them. Thirdly: the teacher David was constantly ill. He sneezed and blew his nose, it was unpleasant, I was constantly afraid of getting sick because of this. On Friday, May 17, David was very sick, his sneezing and runny nose intensified, and he began to cough. In addition, a student of Romin fell ill, she also began to sneeze and blow her nose.

“Small classes where everyone dared to talk in front of each other. Davide was a lovely, educational and committed teacher.”

“The school is very small with few classes. The language skills of the classmates were so much lower than my own. Became quite boring to listen to as they struggled with the conversation, but I don't think there was any class with higher level.”

“Small groups, competent teacher (Sara). Private lessons were ok. We decided together which days and time. Quite flexible.”

Insider tip: “Anyone taking a course should consider joining the cooking class. I chose it twice. Lovely elderly lady taught us how to cook and in the end we ate it all. Just today, I sent her a small gift to thank her. For those who have chosen a special course like me (50+) didn't have to pay extra.”

Insider tip: “Since I live here (Badalucco), I could not participate in the leisure activities. But I could see that the group cohesion was very nice, when the students took part in joint activities. Perhaps this should be recommended. If you book two weeks, it's always very nice to establish some contacts.”

“The teacher Davide was great. Without him, the school would not have scored so well.”

“I also had one individual lesson after the group lessons. The two teachers (Cecilia and Maria) were not so good. For me, Maria was even better than Cecilia. Didactically okay-ish. After a while, Maria was more able to adapt to me (she always wanted to talk about fashion and art - not my topics. I told her I wanted to deal with everyday situations on the street, in the shop etc. as conversational topics). Both ladies sometimes spoke for 3-5 mins without any pauses.... As a student you get hung up on that. It's nice when, for example, Maria knows so much about art and history, but I haven't booked a university course. And not SHE, but I should speak as much as possible....”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Group lessons with Davide were great. Individual lessons with mainly Maria were ok.

I would like to learn the Italian language. I'm currently in Ireland, learning English in a language course. I'm from Mongolia. Can I study for one or two years? Do I need a visa? Should I apply for a visa from my home country?
“Yes, you can study for one year or more if you wish. Considering that you are planning to study in Italy for such a long period of time, a student visa is required. In this case, your best bet is to contact the Italian Embassy in Ireland as the visa regulations are rather delicate and they can change very quickly, so the advisor will be able to give you further details.”
