Cilento Experience is proud to offer the opportunity to learn Italian in one of the best Italian Language schools in Italy!

Our school is located in Montepulciano, a beautiful renaissance town that stands on a hill surrounded by vineyards and olive groves in southern Tuscany, half way between Rome and Florence.

It has 8 large, airy classrooms for Italian language courses, individual tuition; culture courses and a hall that's used for conferences, exhibitions and events. There is a terrace with a lovely panoramic view - a favorite place for students to take their class breaks during the summer months - as well as an Internet point, free Wi-Fi access and the opportunity to study the Italian language or watch a film at the school at any time throughout the day.
