WHAT WE LIKE about this program! - Picturesque Mediterranean coastal village with postcard views - Very laid-back school with outdoor classes, walking distance to beach - Beautiful warm and sunny climate - One of our favorite schools ever!

Enjoy an Italian language course in Italy at our language school in the city of Capo Vaticano.

This is truly a unique place to live, learn and study Italian! Located on the outskirts of a small village in Calabria, in Southern Italy, you can study Italian in an old rustic estate, surrounded by overgrown gardens with orange groves, lemon trees, grapevines, all a 10-minute walk to the beach. Discover the enchantment of the age-old historical villages that populate the foothills, the windows of the mountain cottages overlooking the sea and the flavors of genuine Italian gastronomy.

This Maritime region is a long peninsula with 800-km of coastline, sandy beaches, coves and mountainous terrain. Its ancient history dates back to the very roots of Mediterranean and European civilizations and is a land of traditions. Many aspects of daily life are based around this village's roots as a fishing community.

We also offer a "Split City" option with our Florence & Rome programs, which offers the student the opportunity to visit and study in both cities. This is extremely flexible and also allows the student the opportunity to sample the cultural city and the rustic south coast of Italy.

SCHOOL FACILITIES - Charming small school building - Outside patio surrounded by mature gardens (outdoor classes when possible) - Internet access

Our unique school, which is located on the outskirts of the small village of Santa Domenica, is the only one of its kind in the entire region! The relaxing environment and local charm are conducive to picking up the language quickly. Postcard perfect views and beautiful beaches make this school possibly our most stunning location. Café's, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, post office, Internet café and all amenities are nearby.

The school building is nestled in the center of an old rustic estate, surrounded by overgrown gardens, orange groves, lemon trees, fig trees and grapevines. Idyllic bungalows with small terraces are close by and used as guest apartments.
