Every student brings a different story, a different reason for learning Italian, and a different way of experiencing Tuscany.
Here are some of the words, memories and impressions shared by the people who have studied with us.
We spent five wonderful days with Francesca and highly recommend this language course! Every morning, we studied Italian intensively in such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that the time simply flew by.
Francesca is a fantastic teacher: patient, empathetic, and always smiling. She made sure that every day we went home with new knowledge and even more enthusiasm for the Italian language. You can immediately tell that she loves not only the language itself, but also teaching it.
The course took place at Chris and Michaela’s beautiful property, where they gave us a warm welcome from the very beginning. After our lessons, we were treated to excellent meals every day – simply unbeatable! Their hospitality made the whole experience even more special.
We learned so much, far more than we expected, while also being wonderfully entertained and looked after. A perfect combination! If you want to learn Italian and experience authentic Italy at its very best, this is the right place for you.
A huge thank you to Francesca, Chris and Michaela!
From June 15th to 19th, 2026, I had the pleasure of being one of Francesca Fabbiani’s students. The language school is set in a beautiful location, Podere La Svolta, a high-quality B&B surrounded by the unspoilt Tuscan countryside south of Pisa. Francesca is an excellent teacher and coach who tailored her approach perfectly to my needs. I wanted to refresh my Italian language skills and become more fluent in speaking. She engaged me with a variety of methods, including fun games. We had a great time, and by the end of the course I achieved my A2-level certificate.
After the morning lessons, the course included a three-course meal prepared by our host. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Italian cuisine, try delicious dishes, and enjoy their flavours. We sat together in the shade of a large fig tree! It was a highly successful language immersion experience, and I continue to study with Francesca via Zoom!
