What we like about the school
  • Located in the lagoon city of Orbetello, close to the beach.
  • Special and unique courses such as language and nature, sport, art, cinema, yoga and many more.
  • Excellent rating of student apartments
    4.8
  • Top rated social activities
    4.6
  • Apartment - shared / Residence accommodation very close to school
  • Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
What we dislike about the school
  • Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.

Location: Terramare is located in the relatively small and beautiful Italian town of Orbetello, in Tuscany. Housed in the heart of the town and just a few minutes from the sea, Terramare offers a unique view into the historical, urban and natural features that Ortobello provides. Close to the school, there are several eateries and restaurants, supermarkets and a variety of shops, together with local attractions such as the Piazza Mario Cortesini. The Orbetello train station is just a 7-minute bus ride away, ensuring that students have all they need to enjoy Orbetello and the surrounding Tuscan landscapes, at their fingertips.

Methodology: A school with over 35 years of teaching and student care experience, Terramare's methodology ensures that the student is at the forefront of their learning. In conjunction with tuition within classrooms, the school believes that a didactic approach to learning, through activities and conversation with peers and professors, encourages students to develop in all aspects of their Italian language, through personal development.

Course selection: Course selection covers many of the local attributes and arts, in addition to Standard Italian courses, available to students of all levels. Topics such as Sports, Art, Archaeology, Literature, Theater, Yoga and Cuisine are available to be taken in conjunction with a student's Italian language lessons. CILS Exam Preparation courses and specific "Christmas In Italian" programmes are also popular.

Student comments about "Standard Italian Course" at Terramare
Raelene 4.0
"I learnt a lot, although obviously with such a small school it was challenging for the teacher to manage different levels of ability amongst the students."
Agata 5.0
"It exceeded my expectations."
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.

“Maria is an extremely passionate and dedicated teacher. I liked the small classes which meant everyone had plenty of opportunity to contribute. Maria insisted on everyone always speaking Italian, which was challenging but certainly improved my confidence and ability to communicate. I found the additional one-hour of private lessons I had arranged made a huge difference to my progress. Maria was also extremely generous with her time in taking us on excursions two afternoons each week and one day on the weekends. This meant we got to experience things that would have otherwise been inaccessible to those of us without a car. Orbetello is a fantastic place to study Italian - a beautiful, historic town in a great location with fantastic food and lovely people who are very patient and helpful to those of us trying to learn their language.”
Disliked
“Perhaps a more gentle introduction on the first day for those students who have not had previous opportunities to communicate only in Italian. It was a bit disorientating to be given all explanations in Italian from the outset, and I was sometimes unsure of what the arrangements were and afraid I had missed something important.”
Insider tip: “This is a very small school and Maria does everything herself, including the teaching, excursions, finances, administration, marketing, etc., so don't expect it to be like the bigger schools run in other parts of Italy. If you accept this, it will be much easier to make the most of the experience and the learning opportunity. Getting to and from Rome airport by taxi is very expensive (i.e. 240 Euro from Rome and 350 return) but my flights did not allow time for me to get the train (which means you need to change once and then get a bus from the train station in Orbetello to the city centre). So if money is an issue, try to arrange flights that will allow plenty of time for the train and bus, which is much cheaper.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I learnt a lot, although obviously with such a small school it was challenging for the teacher to manage different levels of ability amongst the students.
Other comments If I had more time, I would have stayed longer than the three weeks I spent with Terramare.

“It was close to the flat I privately rented, located just in the center of the historical city of Orbetello.”
Insider tip: “In case you choose to be accommodated within a family ask if you can cook and where you room is located. If it is located on the main street "Corso Italia" it is very noisy.”
Details of the review
Other comments I did not like Maria not speaking clearly and taking care of her emails during the course. The afternoon activities were organised according to the mood of Maria and did not start before 3pm sometimes even 5pm: what to do from 1 to 3-5pm? We were 3 very different levels in the course, so there was little chance for me to improve.
