For a long time I haven’t experienced something so happy and beautiful like studying Italian language with Studiaitalia School. I was in Lucca. The school is set up in the magnificent villa with charming, big garden. I loved my lesson with Chiara. She has an incredible patience, positivity and she is teaching in a fun way. I have never laughed so much with all other students. We were 9 international pupils in the class. I found it very special the fact that the school is offering tutorials for seniors. I meet lovely people and made new friends. I will carry on my studying in London and again I will return to Studyitalia. There is nothing better like to interact with people in the school and the original country. This school is organised in a perfect way. Apart of learning the language they organising some social events. I loved it so much. Everybody is approaching you with a big smile, no pressure. For me it is a very special place, just heaven where you can be light-hearted. È una felicità senza fine. Sono grata per tanta cura e passione. Grazie mille. Kat xx

Very helpful in recommending and setting up visits to 3 schools while I was in Italy. I finally chose Lucca Italian School where I spent 4 weeks in November. Fantastic experience I would highly recommend. I plan to return next year.

Dear Federica,I had a very good time last week studying italian at the language school in Lucca.My teacher was Martina Reali, she is very kind, patient and can explain everything very well. I can recommend her to everybody who likes to start learning italian.Furthermore I like to mentioned that the school and the course was very well organized by Daniela. She arranged entertainment in the afternoons and looked after the students.Thanks for a loveley week in Lucca. I hope I have the chance to come back next year.

I have been attending the classes for two weeks and I recommend it to any student who wants to learn Italian, the method is practical and enjoyable. You learn at the same time as you get to know Italian culture better. The groups are small and are made up of students from different countries and of different ages. Both teachers and staff are professional and attentive. There is a family atmosphere and activities are organised.

Good morning, I value very positively my experience in Lucca. A very good school and an excellent team of teachers. I value very much the importance that the school gives to conversation, especially grammar. I also value the extracurricular activities. My special thanks to Ilaria, my class teacher. She is a great professional who knows how to motivate her students. The city of Lucca is small and pleasant for an experience like studying Italian. It is not full of tourists like Florence. In short, a good choice. Congratulations for the good work done by Studia Italia. Regards Pau Vinyes i Roig

It was a great experience for me, I felt comfortable at all times. I met very good people within the institution and the teaching method is very good. Totally recommendable. !
Amparo –
The school is very nice and our teacher is great. It is a very close and comfortable city, especially if you live within the city walls.on the negative side, some excursions are a bit expensive.as for the composition of the groups, I would say that, and understanding that it is difficult to combine language levels and nationalities, especially in a small city where there are not many students per course, you can coincide in class with people of the same nationality, which can prevent you from meeting people from different countries, knowledge that should also be an incentive to take this type of course.in general, it is a good option.
Almudena –
I really enjoyed the experience. The school is well located and very welcoming. I would recommend the experience. The city is quite safe and easily accessible.

Good morning, Lara! Last week was wonderful… everything went really well! I was very happy in Lucca, even at school. Staying with Mrs Rossana was the best thing ever… because I felt right at home… thank you so much! The week in Lucca was like a dream… very short… we’ll have to do it again!
Almudena –
The experience has been wonderful. The school was very good and the family was lovely. I highly recommend it as the city is easy to reach from Pisa or Florence and you can live very comfortably inside the walls.
Adrian –
I am very satisfied with the overall experience. The choice of Lucca was perfect for what I was looking for and I must admit that the option of living with a family was equally successful: I had all the independence I wanted but at the same time a close and familiar treatment on a daily basis.the Italian school in Lucca is great, not only for its classes, but also for the extracurricular activities that they organised. I have gone in two weeks from a comfortable B1 to almost a C1…so I have made very good use of the time.the teachers and administration staff were charming and very helpful.perhaps the only criticism I would highlight is the high average age of the students…but I think that this is the downside of choosing a city as peaceful and provincial as Lucca.for all this, it has been an unforgettable experience that I hope to repeat in the future and that I will recommend to anyone who asks me for advice.thank you very much for your dedication and attention. Although I didn’t have any setbacks on my trip, I felt very well looked after at all times and I hope to come back to you in the future.

Everything went very well and I enjoyed it very much. I had the opportunity to practise my Italian and clarify some grammar doubts. The accommodation (duepassidallacitta) with Piero and Enrica was also very good. They are really nice and helped me a lot. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you for everything. Thank you very much.
