    I loved the course and Florence as a city; so friendly and cozy! I got a lot of help with accommodation and studiainitalia answered all my questions and helped me through the entire process of booking and following the course. They also made a visit during the last days there to see that everything was to my satisfaction which I appreciated. I would really recommend studiainitalia as well as the jewelry making course i Florence.

    The only thing I think they could do better is to be more informed about the courses, what they are about and what materials are needed, since you could bring them from your country.

    Considero que eles têm uma atenção muito boa, pois me ajudaram com a papelada e as informações antes da minha partida.A única coisa que eu acho que eles poderiam melhorar é informar melhor sobre os cursos, do que se trata e quais materiais são necessários, já que você pode trazê-los de seu país.
