Everyone was very nice and it was easy to get into the lessons. In addition, the individual needs of the students are catered to by smaller groups.

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 size of the class and the very nice teacher
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.

High level of instruction : Maria Grazia has always been listen to our requests.
I regret that the school did not proposed any activity. Sadly support is only limited to black and white photocopies. No movies, websites ...

Very friendly, competent and helpful teachers, I booked very late and it was no problem, they also organized me an additional week at Viareggio without any problem
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.
