What our students said about Montepulciano

5.0

Rating: 5/5

A beautiful city to visit. A lot of tourists visiting. The weather was unseasonal during the first week of our visit, very cold & raining. We were not prepared for this. Bus timetables were hard to find before my visit when trying to plan for the visit. Suggest maybe include accurate bus timetable from Chiusi C/T to Montepulciano in the class booking information. Quite a few vehicles in Centro Storico, so you needed to take care.

Rating: 5/5

At my age, nightlife is not relevant to my needs. Montepulciano is quite difficult to reach without a car because there are not many buses from the train station at Chiusi. The weather when I was there was completely atypical - a week of rain and low temperatures so my low rating is not indicative of what it would normally be.

Il Sasso

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.
Sincere thanks to all the staff.

Very professional teaching staff. Skillful at identifying strengths/weaknesses and developing appropriate teaching strategies.
Particularly in off-season, students should be advised up-front not to arrive on a Sunday, as connections to the nearest train station (Chiusi) become problematic.

A car makes it easier to explore the surroundings. It's better in the summer; the classes may be bigger but there is more action during the afternoon.

Being in the class with other students learning the language
We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed our lessons and being at the school very much. We loved Montepulciano and all the things we did such as visiting other hill top towns, going to Saint Antimo, exploring Chiusi and the Etruscan remains and all the delicious food, cheese and wine. We had an unforgetable experience and would highly recommend this to anyone.
