“I liked the location of the school in the centre of Pisa. The teacher was very friendly and open-minded and I really enjoyed the lessons with her because they also built on my level of Italian. The afternoon excursion to Campo dei Miracoli was organised by a very competent art guide.”
“The classrooms are very small and unfortunately not equipped with modern didactic tools (no possibility to play films or audio recordings), no whiteboard, flipcharts etc., just an old chalkboard. The number of afternoon activities and excursions offered by the school could be significantly expanded.”

“The size of the class and the very nice teacher”
Details of the review
Other comments: I would have liked more course options. As I only managed to do one half of the placement test and grammatical gaps began to show during the other half, the beginner course was too simple. But the second course that started would have been too difficult. Unfortunately, there was no intermediate level. That was a pitty but maybe it was due to the season or maybe I was just unlucky.

Insider tip: “Go up the Tower, try spaghetti alle vongole, go on a trip to Lucca”

Other comments: I stayed in both locations, first Pisa then Viareggio. The school in Pisa is bigger (more levels) but if you like the sea and riding bycicles along the seashore then Viareggio is the place for you.
