Ravenna: Student reviews & feedback
Intensive 20 with Host Family
There were only two students in my class and that was good in terms of attention from the teacher but not so good socially.
My accommodation couldn't have been more convenient; five minutes from the school and central Ravenna. It was a beautiful house and the hostess was friendly and accommodating.
