This is why the world admires us: as we sit around a table life becomes less frantic, people come together and let themselves go.
We have developed this program which combines Italian language classes and cooking lessons for anyone who wants to experience this feeling: come and stay in Florence for a few weeks joining our Italian Language course, and cooking workshops for everyone, from beginners to professionals, so you can make friends with the locals and astonish people cooking the Italian way!
In just a few weeks, you will make clear progress, happily making your first homemade ice cream or catching the first glimpse of your own linguistic mastery.
In addition to that, the school also offers a range of activities, learning tours and weekend trips which can be added at any time to make your holiday even more intense and rewarding!
