Overall, the studio is really pleasant in terms of location and size.
But the terrace, for example, is not clean. I guess they don't sweep it. I don't know if the school is responsible for that. Overall: Would love to be back in this study because of the great location. "

One of the best advantages of living in Piccola’s shared apartment accommodation is that you’re guaranteed to meet new people from around the world since many internationals choose to live in this accommodation type.

In terms of location, you’ll enjoy all the advantages of living in central Tropea.

The Standard course, or the Complete course, refers to Piccola’s Italian language program in which both grammar and oral expression are developed together on a weekly routine of 20 lessons.
Since this programme can be started on almost any Monday of the year, you will be able to jump in at any time. All students who sign up will be asked to take a placement test that measures the level of their current Italian language abilities.
The maximum number of students per group is just 8, guaranteeing that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to participate verbally in your lessons and be able to resolve your questions and doubts.
– 1st lesson from 09:00 – 10:50 or from 14:00 – 15:50.
– 2nd lesson from 11:10 – 13:00 or from 16:10 – 18:00.
