Description

Our school which is one of the most respected in Florence, is ideally situated in a very clean and safe corner of Florence, just 5 minutes walk from the main train station.

From the rooftop patio you can look to the horizon and the hills of Tuscany, and the beautiful Duomo. Housed in a typical style building, the school is located on the 6th and 7th floors and the views of Florence are amazing!

Every classroom has large windows opening on to wide terraces which over look the city. The large terrace on the roof, where classes some times take place in the summer, is a favorite place for students to socialize and hang out during or after classes.

The school is very bright and our staff help to make the atmosphere warm and friendly.

The school has an elevator but why not work the pasta off and use the stairs! It is an ideal meeting place for international students and some of the apartments are actually located in the school building. A short (10 minute) walk will lead you to the cathedral square and to the heart of the city.

Highlights

Learn Italian in an absolutely breathtaking city, Florence has so much to offer the international student looking to learn Italian and learn about the countries culture and history.

The streets of Florence radiate the charm of Italian culture. Few can dismiss the image of Brunelleschi's cathedral dome bursting through the morning mist a terracotta balloon hovering above the medieval rooftops. But once the visitor drops down to street level, the profusion of traffic, tourists and touts can remove all sense of tranquillity.

Located 80 Miles inland from Italy's west coast and 145 miles north west of Rome, Florence boasts a proud history, comprised of art and architecture that is surpassed by none other in Europe. UNESCO estimates that 60% of the world's most important artworks are in Italy, with over half of them located in Florence.
