It was a very pleasant stay. The lessons were interesting and lively. I learned a lot both about the language and about the city and surroundings of Ascoli. The teachers were all kind and loving. Also I got a lot of help with all the questions I had. I would like to redo a course at this school because everything was perfect for me !! Thanks to all the teachers :-)

There were approximately five students in each class and lessons were planned according to ability and interests.
There was always a good rapport between us and the teachers who were enabling and encouraged participation of each student.
There was an emphasis on introducing us to the Italian culture something we were particularly interested in. This was not only by learning about the Italian history but also about the food. We also enjoyed being able to attend concerts in Ascoli.
Ascoli Piceno is a beautiful town, there are not only usually cultural events taking place but one of my favourite things is to sit and partake in an aperitivo whilst “people watching”. There is a variety of good restaurants where we were introduced to local specialities of food and wine which we very much appreciate.
The proximity to San Benedetto means there is easy access the beach and local restaurants.
All in all for me the combination of the Accademia Italiana and Ascoli Piceno provides the perfect destination for the perfect holiday whilst enabling me to practice the Italian language.
We started attended Italian classes in Ascoli every September since 2015.
