Its mild and serene climate, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of the school, will make studying a pleasure.
In collaboration with “ABC Elba” we organize Italian language courses, excursions and leisure activities, suitable for all ages.
The courses are held continuously from May 20th to September 30th.
The Island of Elba
Elba is one of the most special places in all of central Italy. It’s the 3rd largest island after Sicily and Sardinia, with 140 km of coastline characterized by its variety: hidden coves, secluded bays, beautiful rocky cliffs, large white beaches, with the opportunity to practice water sports and hiking in spectacular scenery.
The island of Elba is then famous for its fine wines, its fish-based cuisine and its history, which also saw its protagonist at the beginning of the 800’s with the first exile of Napoleon (1814-15).
The school is situated in Porto Azzurro, literally “azure harbor”, a small picturesque town on the island.
Villa Teresa, the historic villa where we hold classes and where we host our students, is easily reachable by bus and by car.
As said, our partner school, ABC Elba, is located in Porto Azzurro.
You can reach there by car, or by taking the ferry (the two main companies are Toremar and Moby Lines) from Piombino Marittima to Portoferraio (14 Km from Porto Azzurro) or Rio Marina (12km from Porto Azzurro). From there you can use Google Maps to guide you to school.
The port of departure from the mainland can also be reached by train (Piombino Porto railway station).
Once you are on the island, you can travel and reach the school by bus or rental car.
