You can't dispute Salerno's enviable geographic position. Looking out over the Bay of Salerno, with the stunning Amalfi coast extending north, Salerno enjoys a wonderful climate and magnificent sea views.

Victim of southern Italy's many landslides and tremors, and the unfortunate target of heavy fighting in the mid-20th century, the city has nonetheless managed to retain its buzzing medieval centre. Today many people also flock to the tree-lined, seafront promenade to take in the panoramas, open-air cafés and laid-back Italian lifestyle. As a place to mix holidays and study, this really does seem like the ideal location.

The school is situated in one of the most beautiful and popular streets of Salerno, Via Roma, a short distance from the medieval Cathedral Square and right in the heart of the historical and artistic centre of town.

The school itself is in a charming antique building of noble origin, Palazzo Angrisani,
facing the seafront, and students can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the sea from its windows. All teachers are highly qualified and specialised in the teaching of Italian to foreigners, individually chosen for their ability to transmit enthusiasm and encourage lively participation in class.

Typical materials used in classes are modern text books and various audio-visual and multi-media resources, ensuring that students come away with a complete, all-round knowledge of the language.

"I enjoyed being able to talk to my family in Italian. They were friendly, hospitable and great chefs! Salerno is a great place to spend the summer. There is so much to do every afternoon - beautiful Amalfi coast, the theatre, outdoor cinema, meals etc. The school is also great - really friendly and efficient, and I've really enjoyed myself and learnt a lot. Grazie."
