We are a group of over 50 Taiwanese individuals studying Italian at Ciao Italy Language School. We’re enjoying a long stay in Turin, immersing ourselves in the local culture. The staff and teachers are very friendly and hospitable. The head principal is especially kind and supportive—she helps us flexibly arrange our after-school activities, making our experience even more enjoyable.

This is one of the best language school I have attended. Teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. Location of the school is wonderful. I will be back in the future. Ciao!

Perfect

Сегодня нас очень тепло приняли в школе. Мы много задавали вопросов, все ответы получили. Спасибо девушке на ресепшене (не запомнила имя) и Анне за подробное описание. Будем составлять расписание курсов итальянского, истории искусств и подготовки к экзаменам. Дочери очень понравилось. Анна Иванюк :)

Przez dwa tygodnie uczyłam się języka włoskiego w tej szkole i jestem bardzo zadowolona z doświadczenia. Lekcje były ciekawe, dobrze zorganizowane, a nauczyciele pełni pasji i cierpliwości. Panuje tu przyjazna atmosfera, która sprzyja nauce i poznawaniu kultury włoskiej. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto chce uczyć się włoskiego w inspirującym środowisku!

È la scuola davvero meravigliosa! In Viareggio - i miei insegnanti che ammirano tantissimo - Irene e Serena, spererò di tornare! E belissima in Firenze - Monica, Lei è unica con la passeggiata nei luoghi di Dante. Grazie di cuore per le famiglie con appartamenti dove vivevo - Graziella Penati e Fabiana Sabatini

Muy buena escuela! Amables, te ayudan en todo y te buscan las mejores opciones.!! La recomiendo a todos los que quieran mejorar o aprender italiano!

Great school in all its ways! In the best, most beautiful part of Milan. Very knowledgeable, helpful people working there. Teachers create fun, interesting classes where you communicate and learn a lot.

I was in the same La Dolce Vita class as the most recent reviewer and agree this school does a great job making students feel comfortable with the Italian language. You're challenged, but in positive ways. I'd had some trauma with language classes in the past - so I had anxiety on the first day - but it soon felt good and comfortable to be here. And it was great to learn some of the language, and to be set up for success in future studies both at home and hopefully in Turin again. After a week with Stefania and the school, I left a really happy student of Italian. We had hoped these studies would help us as we traveled another week in Italy, and indeed the school prepared us well - we were OK even when communicating with people who didn't speak English. La Dolce Vita includes after-school activities which were also amazing and enriching. I'd encourage you to look at the images and videos on the Turin FB page. Not all students speak the same language, so of course the activities are in the native tongue taught at the school. The activities are entirely in Italian, and so for five evenings I was cognizant that I was missing 90 percent of the content. That didn't matter as much as you might think because my wife and I had at least 80 percent of the fun. You don't get experiences like those at home. And the sights you get to see both at school and in Turin - wow. I included a couple of photos, first of the plaza where the school is located and then a view from a classroom. The rest are a few photos from some of the activities in town. That reminds me of a final point. Turin is not on the top of every English-speaking visitor's list; that's one reason why you should go. It's plenty busy, but it's not over-touristed. We found ourselves often surrounded by locals, not packs of tourists. Turin has as many or more cool buildings and sites as any major Italian city, and an incredibly rich history that rewards you at every turn. Yet we paid less here for accommodations than we would have paid in many other cities where people study Italian. Turin is a bargain with rich rewards.

Szkoła Leonarda Da Vinci we Florencji przeszła moje najśmielsze oczekiwania. Zajęcia są prowadzone z pasją i dużym zaangażowaniem. Lektorzy wspaniali. Bardzo ciepła i przyjazna atmosfera. Personel w sekretariacie bardzo sympatyczny i pomocny. Polecam SZKOŁĘ LEONARDA DA VINCI z całego serca, każdemu kto chce nauczyć się j.włoskiego.

Just returned home from the two week La Dolce Vita program in Turin. It was by far one of the best experiences of my life. Our teacher Stefania was knowledgeable, encouraging, patient and personable. The classes were well organized and focused on grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure and conversation. Many of the students in the beginner class spoke some Italian and were very supportive and encouraging of me as I spoke very little. The afternoon cultural activities were all very informative, interesting and fun and our guide Vera was great. I finished the program with a better grasp of the language and a contact list full of new friends across the globe. Thank you to Stefania, Chiara, Marco and all the staff. I left my heart in Torino.

Really enjoyed taking classes with Biagio for 16 weeks. Previously I was studying in a Russian speaking group and even though the teacher was Italian, she spoke a lot of Russian. Here everything is in Italian, which I loved. Also loved being in a group setting, loved meeting new people and connecting to them in break rooms in Italian.

Great school

Foi uma experiência incrível , já tinha uma base de italiano e fiz o curso em Milão intensivo de 1 semana. Me ajudou a me arriscar mais ao falar o idioma. Um ambiente leve e prazeroso, com alunos de várias partes do mundo. A professora Irina é ótima, ensina muito bem!

J'ai suivi pendant un mois des cours intensifs. Excellente école, très bien située, agréable et accueillante, des enseignants très professionnels, j'ai beaucoup progressé. Par ailleurs, en dehors des cours, différentes activités sont proposées, intéressantes et sympathiques. Je ne peux que recommander cette école!

Allora, sono stato studenti per al meno 1 anno, vi dico che è la migliore scuola di lingua italiana a milano. Punti positivi: 1)Insegnanti bravissimi 2)Prezzo competitivo 3)Lavoratori della Secretaria sempre disposti, e simpatici. ( Anna megliore capo) Punti da migliorari 1) Bisogna una altra macchina di caffè. Forza milan!

Die Schule ist sehr gut organisiert. Alle sind sehr hilfreich. Lehrpersonal (ich hatte Anna,Alessia und Luisa) war kompetent und freundlich. Ich war die ganze Zeit mehr als zufrieden.Ich hatte "Hauptkurs plus 10" besucht. Ich war dort nur eine Woche, aber schon innerhalb diese kürzer Zeit schon gute Fortschritte mit Italienisch gemacht. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Privatlektionen,die die Schule anbieten. Es war einmaliges und unvergessliche Erfahrung! Grazie mille!!! Школа очень хорошо организованна,учителя компетентны и всегда готовы помочь ,с личным подходом к ученикам. Очень могу посоветовать уроки с личным преподавателем, хотя, я посещала школу только в течение одной недели, благодаря приват-урокам, мой итальянский заметно улучшился. В школе царит приятная и дружелюбная атмосфера . Это незабываемый и обогащающий опыт!!!

Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano is a great place to learn Italian. The relatively high volume of students mean that there are many levels of class to join each week. The teachers are great and helpful in achieving your language goals. I took intensive morning classes and the CILS B1 cittadinanza study class (plus exam).

J'ai passé les quatre dernières semaines à l'école à Milan et cela a été formidable pour moi. Les cours étaient excellents et le groupe classe (souvent à 6, et jusqu'à 11) fonctionnait très bien. Sara, mon enseignante, était formidable (Luisa aussi, que je n'ai eu que la première semaine). Ce qui a été très appréciable aussi, c'est que l'école nous met tous en contact par le biais d'activités qui ont lieu en plus des cours (des visites guidées en italien, des moments conviviaux comme une sortie à la pizzeria...). Ce sont des moments privilégiés où on pratique notre italien et où on crée des liens avec d'autres étudiants. Enfin, je voudrais remercier les "ragazze" qui s'occupent de tout à la réception et dans l'organisation des activités : Zhenya, Eleonore et Anna ! Elles créent une ambiance super et on se sent un peu comme à la maison !

언어만 배우러왔는데 다른나라에서 온 친구들이랑 다양한 활동도 할 수 있어서 너무 만족스럽습니다. 그리고 여기 계신 선생님들과도 여러 주제로 이야기 나누며 배우는 이탈리아어 재밌어요!

이탈리아 오기전에는 한마디도 못했는데 지금은 이탈리아어로 소통이 가능하게 되었다는게 너무 신기합니다. 오랜시간 저를 지도해주신 Mariateresa에게 감사드립니다.

Excellent place for Italian language immersion

I had a fantastic experience at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano! All the teachers are kind, professional, and highly skilled, making learning both effective and enjoyable. The staff is always helpful and well-organized, ensuring a smooth experience for all students. The school offers many interesting activities every week, which make learning Italian even more engaging and fun. I truly appreciate how much the school has helped me improve my Italian and navigate all necessary procedures. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Italian in a welcoming and supportive environment!

J'ai passé 12 semaines à l'école Leonardo da Vinci Milano et je peux vous dire que cela a été une expérience exceptionnelle. Je suis arrivé avec quelques bases en italien et je suis repartis avec un niveau conversationnel intermédiaire. Bien sur en 12 semaines je ne suis pas bilingue mais grâce à la qualité de l'enseignement j'ai pu faire des progrès significatifs. C'est vraiment une immersion dans l'apprentissage de la langue, les cours sont 100% en italien et tout le matériel pédagogique est fournis. La qualité de l'enseignement est incroyable, les classes sont judicieusement réparties par niveau, l'ambiance est studieuse mais également détendue. L'apprentissage se fait sans stress et dans la bonne humeur. Les contenus des cours sont vraiment intéressant car en plus de la langue on apprend énormément sur la culture italienne (styles de vie, habitudes, nourriture, tourisme, art ...). J'aimerai aussi donner une mention spéciale à Luisa qui est une enseignante exceptionnelle. Sa bonne humeur au quotidien, son sens de la pédagogie, son amour de l'enseignement et du partage sont remarquables. Dans l'ensemble toute l'équipe de l’école est formidable, du responsable pédagogique en passant par les enseignants et sans oublier le personnel administratif et de l'accueil. Enfin je termine, sur ce qui pour moi apporte un énorme plus à cette école, ce sont les activités en marge des cours. Car oui, chaque semaine de nombreuses activités sont proposées : visites de Milan, visites de musées, aperitivo, dégustations ... Zhenya qui, entre autres fonctions, est en charge des activités fait aussi un travail remarquable pour proposer des animations intéressantes. Bref, vous l'aurez compris, quel que soit votre niveau et vos motivations pour l'apprentissage de l'italien, vous avez l'assurance de passer de formidables moments dans cette école. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe !

I started an 8 week online course in early January 2025 and have just extended for a further 8 weeks. The whole experience has been great. Really good communication between the school and I from the beginning. My tutor (Corrado) is great and makes learning fun and easy. I highly recommend this school as a brilliant way to learn Italian. Assolutamente fantastico!!

선생님들 재밌으시고 이탈리아어 잘 가르쳐주세요✨ 사무실 비서분들도 친절하시고 항상 잘 도와주세요! 완전 추천 합니다

I’ve been studying here for a few months and my time here has been amazing. The teachers are motivated to teach and help everyone which has helped me improve my Italian. The school also offers weekly activities to help meet other students, get to know the city/culture and to practice language skills. It’s definitely recommended for anyone wanting to study Italian in Milan!

I've had an amazing experience at this Italian language school. The teachers also very passionate about teaching, making each lesson really enjoyable. I also attended some activities and I liked it too. I met new friends there. Overall, the supportive and friendly environment has made learning Italian a fun experience. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Italian!

Last year I spent 3.5 months studying at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Firenze - initially, I was planning to do only 4 weeks, but I had such an amazing experience that I extended my trip. The teachers and classroom experience were altogether personal and charming, and the program helped me find affordable housing. Already hoping to go back one day!

I attended a course at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, and it was an incredible experience. The school truly excelled in teaching Italian to foreigners, offering a well-rounded and immersive approach to learning. In summary, it was a school with exceptional teachers, immersive learning experiences, cultural activities, and personalized classes in iconic Italian cities. I highly recommend it!

It can be daunting trying to choose an Italian school especially without ever having visited one before. Thankfully I was able to tour a few in Milan and Scuola Leonardo da Vinci was by far the nicest and most welcoming one! As of writing this I have been at the school for 4 months and it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are wonderful and change semi regularly so that you see different teaching styles. The school offers a large variety of activities each week ranging from simple lunches to pasta making and walking tours to wine tastings. They really set the school apart and allow you to experience Milan with your classmates! The staff at the front desk are very helpful and speak many languages so they can sort out all kinds of issues you have settling into Milan. Over the last four months I have really improved my Italian and I have made lifelong friends! Can't recommend enough!

A wonderful experience at Leonardo da Vinci Language School in Milan! The warm welcome you receive upon entering sets the tone for an exceptional learning journey. The instructors are not only highly qualified but also have a remarkable ability to make language learning both engaging and effective. I must particularly commend Luisa - she's truly exceptional! Her dedication shines through in every lesson, and she demonstrates genuine commitment to each student's success. It's clear that she views teaching as a calling rather than merely a profession. The school's environment is truly outstanding - the administrative staff provides excellent support whenever needed, and they thoughtfully organize cultural events and conversation groups that offer valuable opportunities to practice our language skills. It's refreshing to find a learning environment where you genuinely look forward to attending classes! Whether you're a complete beginner or at a more advanced level, you'll find yourself in capable and caring hands here.

Une très bonne école de langue

In planning for a new digital nomad experience in Italy, I’m starting by studying Italian language to advance my capabilities beyond my current level towards professional business communication. I have found this as the perfect school for this trip and future return visits. On this most recent trip, my instructor, Lorenzo, had a fun & easy learning approach that really helped me to reconnect with speaking, thinking, and overall interacting in Italian very quickly once again upon my return this past week. I’m so happy I found the school and highly recommend it.

Een heel fijne school, kundige docenten en leuke activiteiten. Ik heb genoten van mijn tijd hier!

I loved studying italian more when i studied in scuola Leonardo da Vinci milano they helped me alot with my studies it has been 1 year and a half since I started and still studying now 1 more year amazing experience and teachers are amazing

Ich freue mich riesig auf das Abendteuer. Ich habe so viele gute Dinge gehört über diese Schule und konnte mir die Möglichkeit nicht entgehen lassen. Man wird super betreut bei der Planung und Buchung:)

Die Schule ist sehr gut organisiert. Kommunikation funktioniert einfach und schnell. Alle sind sehr hilfreich. Lehrpersonal (ich hatte Irene und Manuela) war kompetent und freundlich. Lernunterlagen und Ausstattung der Räume passt gut. Die Schule ist auch leicht mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel erreichbar. Freizeitaktivitäten haben mir sehr gut gefallen.

Müthiş bir deneyimdi! Hem dil öğrenmek hemde kültürünü tanımak istiyorsanız tam yerine geldiniz. Haftanın hemen her gününe ayrı bir kurs dışı aktivite yapılıyor. En kısa zamanda tekrar görüşmek üzere

Good environment, good teachers and assistants

Milano'da dil egitimi almak isteyen herkese cok tavsiye ederim. Ogretmenler cok cana yakin ve yardim sever. Ayrica okulun hafta icleri duzenledigi etkinlikler sayesinde Italyan kulturunu daha cok yasayabiliyor ve bir suru farkli kulturden gelen insanlarla tanisip kaynasmanizi sagliyor.
