Program Participants • Adults		Quick Look • Location: Montepulciano (SI) - Italy • Language Taught: Italian • Program Size: max 9 per group • Average Class Size: 5 Overview The Italian language school Il Sasso is located in Montepulciano, a welcoming Renaissance town in Southern Tuscany. Our language school, Il Sasso, has offered Italian courses since 1983. People of all ages and from all over the world come to learn in an informal atmosphere where the relationship between students and teachers is one of friendship. The atmosphere during lessons, carried out in small groups (maximum 9 students), is friendly and fun and an emphasis is put on communication. For this, students are encouraged to speak as much as possible. The teachers are all graduates and have a long experience in the field of adult education. The carefully chosen accommodation, the varied cultural programme, the dedication of the teachers and, importantly, the spontaneous hospitality of the townsfolk, all come together to make a stay at Montepulciano more than just a mere study holiday. The great number of students who return each year is the best testimony to this.

In Italy home is very important. More than just the place where you sleep, home is where you pass your time - cooking, reading the newspaper while stretched out on the couch or chatting with friends over a delicious meal of pasta. Therefore, we take it as our responsibility to make sure you feel at home by finding you the lodging that best meets your needs. Whether you choose to stay in an apartment or with a family, you will find the same level of comfort and quality. Each apartment has something that makes it unique and special - a panoramic view, a rustic Tuscan style, the beautiful light of sunset or a romantic balcony. nfortunately it's not possible for us to display photos of all the apartments at our disposal, but rest assured that we'll do everything possible to find you the lodgings you want. And remember, you'll have much more to choose from if you book well in advance. Costs on request.
