My 9-year old daughter, aunt and I lived in Lucca for three months (Oct. -Dec. 2012) and were fortunate enough to take classes at the Lucca Italian School during our entire stay. It was an incredible experience for all of us. The staff was always helpful and accommodated our various language skill levels. The teachers were incredibly kind to my... More

Spending a month in winter in Lucca learning Italian with a friend was a fantastic experience! Classes were small, the teachers excellent and the city bellissima! We had language lessons in the mornings and on many afternoons our teachers taught cooking, arranged wine tasting or escorted us by train to nearby towns and attractions. I highly recommend the Lucca Italian... More

I have studied Italian for many years and in September 2012 I decided to have an extended stay in Lucca to improve my fluency.

The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful, the teachers were fantastic and the lessons were a very clever mix of fun and highly effective learning. The classes are small (no more than six students in my class at any one time)... More

I spent two weeks at Lucca Italian School and would recommend this school to anyone. The teachers are very enthusiastic and it's clear that working there is more than a just a job to them. All communication in the classroom and during the great after-school activities is in Italian - that's a challenge if you are a beginner but it... More

I'm writing this in English just to make sure people don't get the wrong idea about the school reading my bad Italian, because that'd be sad since they're awesome :) I had gone to Lucca two years ago, fallen in love with the city, and knew I had to go back. So when I decided to do an Italian course,... More
