COME STAI? Italian Language Intensive Group Course

Nestled between Tuscany and the Adriatic Sea, Urbania is a valid alternative to cities invaded by mass tourism. Surrounded by the breath-taking scenery of the Montefeltro and at the foothills of the Unesco World Heritage Center of Urbino, Urbania will add a special touch to your COME STAI? Italian Language Group Course.

The school is located in an ancient building in the heart of Urbania historical center. Bar, restaurants, supermarkets, banks and all other facilities are within walking distance. The building contains a wide range of student facilities, such as numerous classrooms, several piano studios, an art studio, a courtyard and an extensive Wi-Fi network. The building is open until late and it will easily become your second home in Urbania: here you will meet your new international friends, spend your free time, study and practise Italian. A historical public library is very close by and all students have free access to the library services. The school is open all year long and during the summer hosts a number of social events, concerts and public lectures.
