I had a great experience with StudiainItalia, professional and especially very clear and responsive. I visited Cagliari, Toarmina, Napoli en Bologna although I also received information about Tropea and Firenze when I asked. All together enjoyed the contact with the agency and would recommend to book your course through them as they can help you with all the little details before arrival!

Had the most amazing time learning Italian in Taormina. I originally signed up to do a one week cast but loved it so much I did a second week. The teacher was amazing, the scenery was beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you

Good afternoon: the course in Taormina was quite interesting: the accommodation was very good, after so many doubts; the school was good, and Taormina and its surroundings were spectacular. The intervention of StudiainItalia has been very effective and we hope to repeat the experience next year. Thank you very much. Best regards

Noemi –
I am very happy with this experience! Everything was perfectly organised, the house, the school in a very nice place and the teachers were lovely. The cooking course was great, I learnt a lot! Thanks also to you for taking care of me when I arrived. I only have good memories!
Tim –
I have just completed a one week course in Taormina and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their Italian language skills to the next level. The school encourages only Italian to be spoken and if you discipline yourself to that requirement you will progress more than you can imagine! My tips are: don’t be shy, join in the extra activities and avoid anyone who keeps on speaking English!The school has an onsite restaurant/cafe of the highest standard which is a real bonus.Only regret is that I didn’t go for longer – very, very good value in my opinion.
Regina –
The experience in Sicily was great. I really liked the school, the atmosphere, the people, the place itself, the teachers… So I’m coming back very happy! The house was quite nice and with my flatmate, also very nice. And the whole trip was perfect, which was helped a lot by the Sicilians, who couldn’t be more charming and welcoming. The truth is that I have fallen in love with the island and its people and I am very happy to have done this course and to have lived this experience.
