Description

Our Italian school is located in a refurbished 17th century palace, on the banks of the River Arno, in the very centre of Florence, just 5 minutes walk from the world-famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge. There are 10 well-equipped classrooms in the school, all with air-conditioning and several with magnificent views over Florence.

Our school arranges accommodation in self-catering apartments, in private studio apartments and in carefully selected Italian host families. Several of the studio apartments are located just 5 minutes walk from the school.
