Reveiws
"What a way to drastically improve your Italian in 48hrs, while enjoying an incredibly comfortable and accommodating stay in a charming Dorset home. Our 'professore' was very patient and very attune to the group as a whole. It was overall a terrific blend of study, cultural immersion, conviviality and hospitality. Grazie Elizabeth." Chris
“I spent 2 1/2 days in Elizabeth’s beautiful house participating in an intensive Italian course. Elizabeth is a delightful host and we 7 were looked after beautifully, accommodated in very nice rooms dotted in and around the main house. A wonderful setting! She had organised 2 teachers - Viviana for the first 36 hours and Alessandro for the last day. We had our lessons in a comfortable upstairs “Hall” and they were well organised and fun. We were encouraged to speak Italian throughout our stay, obviously in class time but also during our meals that we had together with the teacher. Good immersion! “ Sally
