Learn Italian in Venice, Italy

Our school in Venice

Our Italian school in Venice is located in an 18th century palace, in the very centre of Venice, just a short walk from the famous ‘Rialto Bridge’. There are 10 well-equipped classrooms and a beautiful terrace – very popular at break time - with magnificent views over the city. All accommodation is in historic Venice, or else on the ‘Lido’, mostly within walking distance of the school.

Courses

In addition to Italian language courses, our school in Venice also offers students an extensive ‘Culture’ program, including 5 activities per week - walking tour of Venice, guided visits, Italian film evenings in the school, wine-tasting, bicycle tours around the ‘Lido’, plus trips to Padova, Treviso and other locations. Venice is a wonderful location in which to combine an Italian language class with an experience of Italian culture, both past and present - somewhere ‘truly Italian’ and truly unique.

I'm going back to Venice!

Yes, we all know, Venice is absolutely amazing, and during my one week language course there I almost couldn't believe it was for real. There are some clichés about Venice that I will try to avoid, mainly because they are true - it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and therefore there are also an abundant number of tourists, some places can also be quite pricey. But at the end of your experience in Venice that won't be what you keep in mind, especially if you try to move away from the crowds.

It is surprisingly easy to find yourself in a peaceful street where you can actually experience the Venetian way of life (and practise your Italian language skills)! Exploring a bit further than the Grand Canal also gives you a nice perception of Venice; islands like Giudecca, Murano or Lido are only a boat trip away and aren't usually so packed.
