The school is set in a historic villa with an exclusive Mediterranean botanical garden in the city centre. The main entrance is next to the world-famous Basilica and Catacombs of St. John, a few meters from the archaeological park and archaeological museum, within walking distance of the main shopping streets, the island of Ortygia and its beautiful beaches. A perfect starting point to explore Sicily and its culture. All courses are taught by highly qualified and experienced Italian language teachers.

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.

"Very good"
Andrea
"Good teaching material."
AOUN
"Book, materials."
James
"If you are comfortable with learning language you should be fine. I was a first time outside my main language so it was way too fast for me. "
Esther
"In the same group they brought together different levels."
Sophie
"Unless I'm mistaken, if a course is for 2 students, the 15 hours of training per week turn into 12. I only had 10 ... and no organized activity (even with COVID, we can do things) . Otherwise, a very nice school and quality teachers. I probably came at the wrong time ..."

“Very nice people, enthusiastic teacher and a very good reception/organiser. The school is next to the museum and archeological area and offers free tickets to one of these (catacombs). The building is super nice and the large garden is heaven. Syracuse is a very nice city to stay.”

“I had very good, good-humoured and highly motivated teachers. The structure of the lessons was consistent and logical, even entirely in Italian. The location of the school is fantastic! The cooking course was a lot of fun.”
“The wine tasting was ridiculous, especially for the price. There was supposed to be "something to eat", but all we got were bread crumbs, fingernail-sized wafer-thin slices of parmesan and a drop of oil. There was one sip of each of three wines. At least the tour was interesting. ”
Insider tip: “Visit to the Dan Giovanni Catacombs across the street. Free entry through the school.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Perfectly tailored to me.
Other comments A lovingly maintained old villa in a lovely park, currently with a little cat that everyone loves living there.

“I had a very flexible teacher who adapted the content exactly to our needs in the group courses. The host family was also excellent.”
“The only thing was that with the individual courses there were two of us - with one student it worked out wonderfully (we were both very diligent), but with the other, the next week, then not (such a personality type) - there I actually would have needed an individual course, as it was too slow for me. That's why I deducted one point.”

“Every Monday new students were joining and there were days went to repeating instead of learning new things. I am up for revising but even same exercise sheets were given. There were few teachers absent (probably due to covid) at some point we had 3 different levels (they combined the classes) in the same class. ”

“It tried to offer activities but a lot of people did not take advantage of them.”
“As an absolute beginner class we started fast and moved faster so it was hard to figure things out. We did not practice the basic sayings very much which you would think would be something that should be done daily to at least get you saying the basic phrases. ”

Student comments about Private Apartment
Martina
"I had to fight to get the casa cleaned after a week. This also happened in a very minimalist way! This definitely needs to be improved! There was no vegetable knife and no paring knife. The rack on which the dishes were supposed to dry was totally rusted. I was very positively surprised by the bed: a very good mattress and a good pillow. The best thing is the terrace: nice and big, with a big table, shady and quiet, although located in the middle of the city. However, some of the chairs urgently need to be replaced, also in front of the house. Despite everything, I would take Villa Limone and especially Casa Figue d'India again any time!"
